Both, using either PAL or NTSC camera, simply connect the camera on Ch 1 first and then power it up, the system will auto detect the TV format

If by HD you mean 720P or 1080P, then no. These are the recording resolutions: NTSC: D1(704 x 480); HD1(704 x 240); CIF (352 x 240) PAL: D1(704 x 576); HD1(704 x 288); CIF (352 x 288)

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

It's NTSC-U, so it will only work for NTSC-U consoles. You'll need to find a PAL version.

Only NTSC since I bought the unit for the US. My understanding is that European versions would play pal.

Hi Taofiki, my model does do both NTSC and PAL, but not all models do. You would need to make sure that the specifications indicate either PAL or both, or give the option to upgrade from only NTSC to both. That is an option you have to pay for though.

It's AVCHD so when you do post production you would output in either NTSC or PAL depending on which you want.

I bought this player to read region 2 PAL-format dvds from UK (as well as my region 1 NTSC-format discs from US). It can convert between PAL and NTSC formats - set it up with front panel buttons. See Appendix 6 "Additional Information" in the manual. There is a table that shows the 3 modes - NTSC (output is always NTSC, will convert PAL sources), or PAL (output is always PAL, converts NTSC source), or AUTO (does not convert, puts out program from source as-is.) Works OK for me. Does not require a TV that goes both ways, will work with PAL (European) or NTSC (US) scan rate source material.

I am using it for PAL to NTSC conversion and it works fine. A PAL source into an US TV set. The connection is HDMI in and HDMI out from the box.

It has a setting to internalyl switch between NTSC and PAL but I haven't been able to get it to work when I needed it.

Thanks for the info. I bought the camcorder because the person for whom I bought it sent me a DVD produced on their equipment, and I was able to view it on both my computer and television. Does NTSC/PAL apply also to digital? I don't quite get all this.....

Does anyone know whether it will convert PAL/NTSC DVD when using TV out and connecting to NTSC/PAL TV? The manual says, that the DVD has to match the TVs system, which would mean it won't convert.I need a player I can take oversees and hook up to a TV over there. It also would be nice to be able to do the same with PAL discs over here. So far from high end players I found only Pana LS91/97 which are close to that, but it requires service remote to unlock regions and is stil missing PAL->NTSC conversion.

I would say the sell both versions. The camera you buy in the US would be NTSC.

My unit was NTSC-specific. Perhaps Sony makes a region-specific unit you could use.

Hi Asam Unfortunately, I bought NTSC and it did not work. But I have bought before PAL and it worked fine .. So make sure it reads PAL on the cover compatible.
