In Reply to: Hmm...don't think HD automatically mean PAL capable. posted by Harmonia on November 25, 2002 at 09:51:37:
Hi HarmoniaThanks for the reply. I'm actually back in europe (was in US before).
The TV definitely doesn't do PAL (it's a 34PW9815 - http://www.p4c.philips.com/mprdata/011022/0110220044_pss.pdf).
I'm trying to find out about the DVD player you suggested. i have a Pioneer DV-37 and it plays NTSC and PAL DVD's (although it's not advertised - i rented a PAL DVD disk by mistake once), BUT for a PAL disk, you get PAL output NOT NTSC. I sent an e-mail to Philips to find out if the the 963SA does the same, but I don't think I'll get an answer!
Thanks anyway
I'll try the avs forum
Regards

You probably won't get the answer you want from Philips tech support. The player won't convert out of the box. However, if you found the thread at avsforum in dvd hardware (it's quite long, about 12pages!), the chip in the 963SA can convert, but it's not enabled from the factory. With the remote hack described in the thread, you get the conversion.There are players out there that convert, Malata etc. Beware the cheap ones.
I have the Philips 34PW9818 and like it a lot. Verrrryyyy heavy.
