Can the DVD play Import, NTSC DVDs?

I really can't say. I bought it for the VCR part. I can say, this is the 3rd one of this particular combo that I've had and have been pleased with all three.

No it cannot; however, several years ago I found instructions on "programming" the DVD player to accept and play "all" types of DVD's. I've purchased a couple DVD's that are not available ("Intruders" being one of those & "Girl with the Golden Earring") in America and they play just fine. I didn't keep the instructions, BUT, if you search in the Movies/DVD's categories, you'll probably find them where certain DVD's are listed. Sorry that's the best I can do with information regarding this. You'll find that reprogramming the settings to accept all Region DVD's is fairly easy.

Not sure if PAL and NTCS formats are crucial I this. Maybe ask Xbox support.

It has NTSC and PAL display modes. It changes the aspect a little bit. As for PAL-format DVDs, I am not sure.

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.

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

I don't know. I have only used Region 1. I believe the software handles this, like regular DVD's.

The player will read and play blurays, cds and DVDs so if you have the right software you should be able to do it. I'm not sure whether it's legal to do. You bought the movies or CDs or whatever, but I don't know how far your rights go when copying or transferring. That you should research!

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?

You can if your DVD has composite video output or HDMI output. Most DVD's are not 1080p, though.

No, this unit is not a region free unit and it will only play region 1 DVDs.

It is NTSC for area 1 04 two but with my DVD player and computer I have had no trouble playing it .. Really a marvellous collection of excellent quality and flexibility

Yes. You can copy the contents of the DVD to a USB drive on another computer. Then install it on your dvd-less computer. Verified to work.

It appears that this DVD player will not support Windows files: http://www.hhgregg.com/toshiba-progressive-scan-dvd-player/item/SD4300 -

Absolutely! Not that I'm encouraging illegal activity, but, if you have a DVD decrypter, you can save a copyrighted DVD to disc (via the decrypter) and import it into VS using the import wizard (just remember to look for the saved/decrypted folder, not a disc in a drive).

My region 2 DVDs play fine. Make sure you have the region-free version of the BDX1400 and not the regular BDX1400.

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.
