Will this player play PAL (European/South American) tapes?

No it only fits US tapes. Its gonna cost ya alot more for something like that and I dont think amazon would even sell it. I saw a mulitiregion VCR on craigslist once for like $500

No it is not a European PAL format dvd/vcr.This will play NTSC format,NOT PAL.If you want a PAL format machine then purchase a PAL format machine.

More than likely. I bought my region 2 dvds from eBay and they play like a regular DVD would. As long as it isn't a bad boot leg copy, you shouldn't have any problems

A US BR player can play region free PAL blu rays from uk/europe, but it cannot play PAL dvd's(non-HD) because standard definition is in NTSC for the US.

I think it shouldn´t matter since you are downloading into a PC. Then if you burn a DVD, a lot of DVD players in Europe play both NTSC and PAL

Yes it Does Play PAL discs, BUT, they have to be ALL region or region A/1. Same with DVD's, if they are all region PAL, it WILL play it.gerard masters

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.

Yes it plays, you 5 choices to change the region settings. otherwise, if you need to keep switching the regions, you can buy a software like BluFab 9 or AnyDVD HD, so you can play any region after that.

as long as ur using region 1 disc you should be fine. You might call clearplay to make sure

It can play all regions with a pass code, that is easy as pie to get, and use only once. Be aware, even though this player can play PAL discs it does not do PAL 2:2 cadence, so you will see a poorer picture quality if upconverting(just like crap 3:2 pulldowns on NTSC, jaggies) If you are dgital and needs this feature you need one of the OPPO's with the Fajouda video chips...the 981, or 971. Hope that helpsStill great player :)

Yes it does. It will play Pal also. I haven't played any other region DVDs. There are instructions for other regions but I haven't used that option. Nice player. Hope this helps !!!

Yes it will play all regions, but you have to select which region when you set it up. You are allowed to change regions up to five times only, then it will be fixed to the last selection.

yes, you can play them with this camera. I recently used it to transfer my old 'Hi8' tapes to digital.

It is described as being able to. It will play ones from Great Britian which is why I bought it. I have not had occasion to travel to other parts of the world.

It will play them, but only the 2 channel layer on the disc. You will need an SACD player to get the benefit of the SACD disc.

Yes, it most certainly will. That is exactly how my machine does it. I do not know about other versions of the player, but my Philips DVP 3680 does just what you ask. ENJOY!
