Page 1 of PAL or NTSC

Have a Hitachi 32WF810 Tv and Hitachi DVP515 Dvd player (based on the new Samsung 405).
I have hacked (usual Sammy hack) to make multi region. Plays R4 and R1 discs fine.
Dvd player has a PAL indicator on front display, but when playing Toy Story 1 or 2, the only region 1 discs I have so far, this is still lit - even though these discs are NTSC.
Although the Tv manual states when receiving NTSC signal, HUE/TINT can be adjusted, this isn`t possible.
Can anyone explain what`s happening? Thanks

Don`t worry about it. Your player is outputting the discs as PAL-60, i.e. NTSC-like video (525 lines, 60Hz) with PAL colour. This is actually technically superior to so-called "pure" NTSC, which you would only need if you were watching the discs on an American (NTSC only) TV set.

In fact if you`re using a RGB connection, as you should be if you want to get the best quality, there is no difference between PAL-60 and NTSC settings as the composite encoder is bypassed.

Just make sure the Quasi-PAL option in the Display menu is set to ON, and leave it at that.
