NTSC refers to how many lines there are in the scan....

and how often the scan occurs per second. The European system is PAL, the US system is NTSC, which means not only broadcast, but also video monitors, cable, DVD, video games, etc. that are sold in Europe are incompatible with US TV, DVD, video games, etc. unless you have a region-free player, TV, etc. This is like trying to run a electric clock from Europe (240 volt/50 Hz) on US AC power - even if you get a transformer to cut the voltage, the frequency is wrong. to be brief, IT WON'T WORK. Trust me on this, I have a good friend who lives in Italy and I can't play any US DVDs there, or vice versa.
