Bought this item and it stopped working within 2-3 months. I attempted to fix it, but it was a combination of a cheap "plug" on the end of the cord and a faulty power supply within the unit. Obviously, neither worth fixing. I don't recommend this item. Go to your local Best Buy, spend a few dollars more, and pick up a quality DVD/Blu Ray instead.

This Panasonic unit only plays NTSC VGA tapes, DVD's, and Blu Ray discs. It can play media from a USB flash drive or SD card recorded in the NTSC system. Amazon offers a Panasonic unit that will play PAL/NTSC and convert for viewing in either direction. Search for "PAL/NTSC DVD Player."

NTSC and PAL is to do with the TV not the player as far as know. Since attached to computer the computer just plays movie and then displays on computer screen.

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.

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

This Pioneer dvd player will convert to NTSC or to PAL as desired. Instructions in Appendix 6 of manual Additional Information.

if you are asking about playing PAL DVD's on a North American system TV, no you do not need a converter. I connected the player with a hdmi cable and it automatically played my PAL DVD's

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.

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

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.

This is inaccurate.PAL discs are converted by the player. I have one and tested it soon after it arrived. It works flawlessly on my NTSC-only TV.This player will play literally almost ANYTHING. Format, code, region, you name it.

a different region player, say for the UK, will probably play the appropriate pal type video. This is region 1 thus works w/ NTSC

ALL DVD players play PAL DVD?????? While this does not address your main comments dedicated to region-free play, it is absolutely NOT true that ALL DVD players play both NTSC and PAL! I even recently bought a relatively expensive Panasonic DVD-Burner/multi-format Player that is pretty high end in everything and yet that does not handle PAL, so I must take exception to your glib declaration that may lead some folks who are interested in PAL DVD viewing to stop double-checking for that specification before making an unfortunate purchase.

I would be surprised if it didn't, since it seems to handle everything else I can think of. It is a fabulous TV!!! I believe the PAL format is only applicable to the player you use to play the DVD/CD/tape etc. If the video signal that is output from your player is HDMI, it will definitely work. Will probably work with whatever signal is output since the manufacturer ships worldwide!!! I also have the 80" Sharp. The 90" is far superior in picture quality!!!

I wouldn't know from experience but the manual states the TV type should be set to NTSC but it can also be used as PAL or auto. Not sure if that's helpful but it's the only info I could find.

You should be able to use this converter. It will convert both ways, PAL to NTSC & NTSC to PAL through HMDI.

Hi there - short answer is yes - just hook it up and it'll play any DVD - I play discs from both UK and US on my US TV and they work fine
