Problems playing Reg 1 DVDs through PAL TV

davidm9 (Harmless) posted this on Wednesday, 28th November 2001, 10:37

I have a Wharfedale M5 DVD player which I have hacked to play Region 1 DVDs. However, when I try to play them direct through my Fidelity PAL TV the picture is black & white and grainy - I have exactly the same problem playing back tapes on the TV from my NTSC camcorder.

I can play NTSC videos on my Video player and they come out fine on the TV .

Has anyone got any ideas to get round the problem apart from presumably buying an NTSC compatable TV ? - eg can the TV be "chipped" to make it compatable or is there a way of connecting the DVD player via the Video player which might eradicate the problem ?

Regards
