Posted: Sun Jan 29, 2006 8:55 am Post subject: NTSC vs PAL |
|
|
I collect Pink Floyd stuff, and Ive recently bought The Wall and Live
at Pompeii on NTSC CED. Thing is though, I live in europe, and I dont
yet have a CED player, and though I really just bought these titles
for collecting purposes, I would like to buy a player to check them
out.
So my question is, will NTSC discs play on PAL players? or do I need
to buy an NTSC player and a power converter to convert from 220V to
115V? Ive played NTSC vhs tapes on PAL vcr's and also with dvd's, so I
know that NTSC stuff can be played on PAL systems, just not other way
around (so I assume also that an NTSC player will play ok on my PAL
tv), but the PAL and NTSC CED players operate at different RPM, and Im
sure a range of other specifics are different too, so, is it at all
possible to play NTSC disc on a PAL player, or would that produce
weird results?
Cheers,
Tor |

It wouldint hurt to try, but if it does not work then you would need to get a NTSC CED player and a power converter and (if your TV doesnt output NTSC correctly) a NTSC-PAL converter. |

Dont bother to play ntsc discs on a pal player. they spin at different speed. so color wont be right among other problems.

Hello Tor - I'm afraid I dont have any advice, but I live in the UK and will be selling 2 hitachi CED players and the Live At Pompeii disc (amongst others) in about 1-2 weeks on ebay, postage available to Europe - if you're interested please check my items for sale (user id - rossi1138) in a little while.
Cheers, majoreasy. _________________ "Wherever you go, There you are" |

There is only one player that can play both NTSC and PAl if you read up on the products on CED Magic it will tell you.
If in UK - and buy an NTSC player than you can get a transformer from Dixons / Maplins for about £20.
Unlike the multiregion DVD or NTSC Playback video - The CED play will output an NTSC signal so your TV will need to be compatible . The NTSC Video/DVD output a converted 60HZ Pal signal so it is never an issue
Hope this helps
Regards
Brother
