It's worth delving through his DVD (and TV ) settings to see if there is a settings change like you've done. A lot of times, even though the player doesn't say it's multi standard, it may well actually handle either format. It should do really, because you can buy commercially released 'Region 0' discs that could be either PAL or NTSC. Sometimes, manufacturers just 'mask' all of it's capabilites, so a Google search for your make model and then 'firmware' after it may well direct you to upgraded firmware that can turn your region 1, NTSC only machine into a multi region, multi format one.


It's more likely to be the TV that causes the problem because very few North American TV's have PAL compatibility.

Finding out whether your disc is PAL or NTSC-probably the easiest way is to use your DVD playing software. I use Power DVD, and on that, with the DVd playing, just right click the screen and choose 'Configuration' and the info will tell you what the TV format is.
