Page 1 of pacific 1000 black + white region 1

I have converted my pacific 1000 to multi region using advise posted on this site (thanx everyone) and changed settings to Pal 60 and also tried Pal M but the film plays in black and white on both these setting. I am using a scart lead. HELP anyone

I`ve just bought a Pacific 1000, and am intrigued by this.
A friend promises to bring me a Region 1 DVD and a Reg 1 RCE disk Monday, so I can`t wait now to see how it works.
My TV certainly doesn`t support NTSC - if I switch Video to NTSC it goes black & white.
Have you tried playing Vcds on these settings?
I have - my Vcds of Enterprise play in Colour on Pal & Pal60, but jerk a lot less on PAL60. They were recorded in the US as NTSC Vcds with 30 frames/sec interlaced - ie 60 Hz - hence PAL60.
If nobody else has an answer I hope to post one Monday evening.

Geoff!
I haven`t tried any vcd on these settings but i can tell you that even the title page where you change settings is also black and white when i have changed to pal 60/M so maybe it is the tv which cannot cope with the settings. Something i will have to check into.

I`m using a pacific 1000 like you but with a 1989 Philips TV.
When I select PAL60 the picture briefly jumps, but comes back in colour no problem. My TV doesn`t handle NTSC in colour as some modern sets, but can take PAL60,which is also what VCRs with NTSC playback put out when playing an NTSC tape.
Maybe you have tried that on your TV sometime?
It doesn`t sound as if your TV can`t handle PAL60.
Older sets may have ths problem.
Can you play the Region 1 disc in the PAL setting OK?
Am nagging my workmate again to bring in the promised DVDs tomorrow to check if I have limitations like you.

OK, I now have tried "Star Trek Vol 40" (normal Region 1) and "The Patriot" (RCE Region 1).
Both play perfectly on my old Philips set in either PAL or PAL60 setting in the Asda Pacific P-DVD 1000 player. They`re a bit less jerky in the PAL60 setting, but in either setting they play in colour.
The odd thing is region 2 discs play well in the PAL60 setting too, which doesn`t seem right - in fact they look better - bit less contrasty.
So the problem must be in your TV, unless its a faulty player.
And I now have shown the player is happy with Region 1 and Region 1 RCE discs. - Plus I tried CD-RW - played a VCD I made on CD-RW, and it likes CD-R too.
All this plus VCD/SVCD & mp3 playing for 89 notes with a three year guarantee - yay!
Now we need to get Macrovision off!
