Help unable to view NTSC DVD`s on Sony TV

Sniper (Mostly Harmless) posted this on Wednesday, 31st July 2002, 00:46

Recently purchased a 32" widescreen TV (Sony KV32FQ75) and connected it to a Sony Multi region dvd player. Prior to purchasing the above TV I was able to watch NTSC and PAL without any problems using scart to scart.

Viewing PAL movies OK problem occurs when veiwing NTSC movies.

I am using s-video connector from my DVD player to the scart on the back of the TV. I have looked through the basic service menu to enable NTSC on the scart connector but theres no such thing.

Any1 had any similar problems and no away to get round this?

Thanks in advance.

I don`t have this particular model but I believe that on some TV`s, the NTSC playback is found only on a particular connector.

So if you have (say) 3 SCART sockets then only 1 SCART socket will be NTSC capable.

Haveyou tried scart to scart connections instead of s-video to scart connections.

The problem could also be due to you using s-video to SCART. Have you tried scart-to-scart as per your old setup.

Tried that to no avail. Thanks for the info.

I found that there is a advance service menu used by Sony engineers. Simply went it to it and enabled NTSC on scart 2 and 3.
