"Problem with DVD Reion X"

I've just tested my mate's DVD Region X with a Region 1 DVD and it worked but was in black and white. I was using the scart lead I bought for my Playstation One. We then tested it on his console and it did the same. He is using the Scart thing he got with the PS2.

Is there a special SCART lead we should be using or is it a problem with not having an NTSC compatible TV?

Thanks, Ben

Do you have it through your VCR if so that's your problem, you need it straight to TV.

Thanks everyone. Should be able to sort that out now.

I found the same problem while using DVD region X with the TV in my room...came out in B/W while using Region 1 DVDs. Although I found that buying and using the "ultimate RGB scart" sorted it out.

Sr sell it for £12.99

Yeah, its the TV. If you remember, I had the same problem with my NTSC games.

What you can do:

Either buy a new TV which would set you back a few hundred........ or.... you could buy an NTSC - PAL converter for about a tenner.

I got one (converter) and it works fine.

Have a look on eBay for a 'PS2 NTSC converter' or something along those lines.

:-)

Its the TV, you need an NTSC compatible TV to play Region 1 DVD's in colour...
