CED VideoDisc and Player Discussion

[Eul0gy]

Hello,

I recently purchased a GEC McMichael V5000H Player, and it came with some PAL rated Videodiscs which is fine;
I am able to play them with the help of a voltage converter (because the machine is for the UK plugs) and a PAL to NTSC converter.

My question is - can I play NTSC rated videodiscs on a PAL player?

Some quick research tells me that the NTSC discs rotate at 450 rpm and the PAL discs rotate at 500 rpm.
I don't know anything about rpm's /if that difference is significant or not.

Thanks!

sorry, they are mutually incompatible.

Then you'll be okay with the first one, but probably not with the second one.

If you have a relatively modern TV set, you might find that you don't need an external PAL to NTSC adapter. Most TV sets made after around 2007 include such adapters built in. You just connect the video out to the video input and the set does it for you. My Sharp set from 2008 does this already for my PAL laserdisc player.

This was so the same sets can be sold anywhere in the world without different production runs.

Digital TVs don't really have any "adaptor" built in, they can just natively display both PAL and NTSC, same as a computer (all of them can play PAL and NTSC DVDs). In fact, the ones that CAN'T display it are set that way deliberately by the manufacturers to prevent parallel importing. I bought a Sharp TV mainly because it was PAL-compatible, though I'll probably get another brand for my next one when the time comes.
