Page 1 of Pioneer DCS313 `multi Region` system

>:( Recently purchased a Pioneer DCS313 `multi Region` system which is great apart from the fact that every region 1 dics I have tried on the system only plays in black and white! Am I doing something wrong or is there a hack or chip that can make the player work to its full potential?

sounds like you need to change some wsettings to convert pal to NTSC or it could be your telly don`t support NTSC !!

Incidently - i am lookign to get the 313 or the panasonic 500

what is your overall opinion of the 313 ??

Awesome sound reproduction with more settings than you`ll ever need!
Excellent picture reproduction and the unit looks good as well!

The only down point is the my problem with the region discs at the mo!

Your TV is evidently not capable of displaying NTSC colour information. To remedy this do the following:

Switch unit to standby
Press "System Setup"
Press "right" directional button until you get to "TV Standard"
Press "enter"
Press "right" directional button to scroll through the choices "Auto" "NTSC" "PAL".
When you get to "PAL" press enter - "PAL" will flash
Press enter again.
This should solve your problem by transcoding the NTSC to PAL standard. It`s not as good as displaying pure NTSC (some jerkines can be apparent on panning shots) but you`ll get colour.
