Page 1 of Problem with Region 1 display on Alba 103

I`ve just got an R1 copy of "The Matrix". My Alba plays it, but there are problems with the display. Setting the TV type setting on the Alba to PAL, the display is distorted, being stretched vertically. Setting it to NTSC rectifies this, but now the picture is in black and white. (I thought setting the scart output to RGB was supposed to get rid of this effect, but it seems not).

My TV is a Matsui 25M1, which is not supposed to support NTSC, but is supposed to support PAL60.

Anybody any ideas on how to fix the vertical distortion so I can watch R1 NTSC disks in colour?

Would the reviews on this page help you ?http://www.uk.ciao.com/products/5096227.html
