I plan on taking my NTSC Tv to Europe which uses PAL system. My questions is . Will this also convert sound thru HDMI output ?

Yes I believe it should. My NTSC TV is connected via an HDMI cable and PAL Pix (colors) and sound comes out fine on the TV.

Hi Neide! Yes. It will work perfect, since HDMI output is standard. I am using my argentinan TV with that in Sweden and I have not problem with analog tv. This box convert both audio and video and the output is like any other HDMI device.

Hello. I bought this whilst working in the US, to play both NTSC & PAL region dvd's through my Macbook Pro. It worked! Hope this helps.

I asked this question also and I get this from Samsung tech, "If you purchase the unit within the North American Territories, it will only have support for NTSC/ATSC/QAM broadcasting systems and only 100v-127v 60Hz power. Since the NA TVs will not accept a PAL signal (or higher voltages), you will not only need a converter for the broadcast, but also for the power if you would like to use the TV in a PAL country."

I would assume that all the players that Amazon.com sells have an output for NTSC TVs. Look at the tiny letters over the "r" in the word "Piooneer." In my case they read NTSC and, as I have been informed, refer to the output and thus, to your TV.

Hello Jordi, I recently bought this projector for India where there is PAL system. I have not tested this with TV signal connected yet. I am using the projector mostly for movies, internet and games. I am guessing the PAL/NTSC should not be any issue. There is no problem with power supply (110/220) or power frequency (50/60 hz).

Yes can convert ntsc to pal or pal to ntsc, but the bad feature that it works at 1 frame per second, not worth money, useless, waste of money

As far as I know, this will allow you to play your NTSC DVD on a NTSC player but watch it on a Pal tv. It is a simple conversion box without any computing ability so will let you watch but it won't let you convert the files in any way and save them differently.

I believe that PAL and NTSC does not apply to digital source data - only when it is converted to analogue (which is becoming obsolete) . That is why DVD makers put in the wretched region codes - to continue to prevent folks in Europe and the US from trading discs. HD it seems is code free.

Thanks for your reply. I had equated NTSC or PAL with the region. So, if I want to play both PAL and NTSC DVDs, regardless of what region these discs are, I would need a player that can be set to region 0 = region free?

I know this is old, but I have to disagree; of the models discussed here, only THIS one will handle "high-def" (uncompressed) surround sound from the PS3. The Sony that Knowledge Forest posted has no HDMI inputs; its HDMI output is for the DVD changer only. The Yamaha & Onkyo you suggested have only "pass-thru" HDMI inputs, which merely pass the sound from the HDMI input on to the TV. For all three, the only way to get surround sound to the receiver is by digital optical/coax cables, which handle only DVD-quality surround sound (uncompressed LPCM 2.0 or lossy-compression DD 5.1 & DTS 5.1/6.1)--*not* the newest, lossless HD audio formats (LPCM, Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio, all at up to 7.1) on Blu-rays & PS3 games. The HT-SS2300 (as well as its predecessor HT-SS2000 and successor HT-SS360), however, will receive high-def LPCM sound over the HDMI connection; that's exactly what the PS3 outputs over HDMI from DVDs, PS3 games & especially Blu-rays. The PS3 will decode all the HD formats and send them to this receiver as LPCM 5.1. Thus, this model should produce BETTER sound than the others discussed earlier. To get HD sound from a current Yamaha or Onkyo model, you'd have to upgrade to a more expensive receiver that can actually decode TrueHD or DTS-HD MA; but that's totally useless for the PS3 (though not for the newest high-end Blu-ray players). Since the PS3 came out before HDMI 1.3, it cannot bitstream those formats; it only decodes them to LPCM. However, since TrueHD & DTS-HD MA are merely "lossless" compression (like a Zip file) of the original LPCM, you still get the same HD sound; you just won't see a Dolby or DTS light on your receiver. (To see the logo on your TV screen, press the "Display" button on the PS3 Bluetooth remote.) For PS3 owners, this is the BEST home theater system out there for the money, unless you need fancier speakers or other special features.

You dont need to worry about NTSC or PAL either. These consoles use the HDMI standard, which is way better than those old analog ones.

I'm gonna say yes because of the other comments, but make sure that you have the right television set for it. Apparently there were PAL and NTSC versions, and it won't work out with a PAL system if you have an NTSC (North American) television.

yes it does. i am using it in INDIA where it converts PAL to NTSC and vicevera for Playstation

I'm using it to output from Plasma TV with only a fiber optic output (so I had to use a Toslink converter) and from my wii console so I can get TV sound and game sound to my sound bar which only has the RCA input (no fiber optic or HDMI inputs) I don't lose any sound quality at all. I can't guarantee you won't because I'm using it for a totally different use. This is a toggle..so only one circuit works at a time.

Just tried it with a Region 2 DVD. It will play it, but the output on mine is set to be NTSC and my television will not read the PAL signal. I could hear the music that play on the menu, but there was no picture and an error message informing me the signal was incorrect appeared. This does not automatically convert the signal to NTSC. You would be better off buying a dedicated region free player for playback and use this for the HDD.
