jerryb Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I am a LEXX fan and I just found the first season for a decent price. But it is PAL. I dont believe my DVD player (Pioneer DV440) is PAL compatible and Im not sure if my Toshiba 34HF81 is. I have read it has built in conversion but the manual makes no mention of this feature. What else can I do to convert the signal....I REALLY NEED the first seson. Just in case......does anyone have the first season they want to part with?

SilentNight1647 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Generally the player will be able to play either format as long as it is region free, it's the TV that will screw you. I think the player you mentioned has a button on the remote that says NTSC and PAL that will switch the format to whatever your TV accepts or it may be an automatic detection type of deal that will switch it automatically.

mario_82_ZXT Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 You could get it, rip it to a computer, convert it to NTSC, the burn it again... Other then that I have no idea. Mario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerryb Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 Mario, can NERO do that? Nope my converter does not...but it is all region compatible. I will check the DVD menu screens to see if there is something there. I just found this as well http://cgi.ebay.com/TV-PAL-to-NTSC-Video-System-Converter-for-PS2-3-Wii-V33_W0QQitemZ160204480804QQihZ006QQcategoryZ73390QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six_Shooter Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Check in the player set-up menu, I'm quite sure my Pioneer DVD player has a selection for that. Mine is a few years old too. To get into my set-up menu there can't be a disc in the player, and use a menu or set-up button on the remote to access that menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Target has a cheap philips dvp5140 player that is can be made region free. It will play NTSC, PAL, avi files, and a number of other things. $40 was what I paid on sale. I watch WRC videos on it all the time from the UK. http://www.amazon.com/review/product/B000F2KUK8/ref=dp_db_cm_cr_acr_txt?%5Fencoding=UTF8&showViewpoints=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedRacer Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 The Helios H2000 and the H4000 will do it. I have the H4000 because I needed the component output for my projector. http://www.helios-labs.com/us/products/hline/index_hline.shtml BTW, if you have an HD TV the Helios DVD player makes for an awesome upconverting upgrade. The OPPO sometimes gets higher marks in some reviews but doesn't have all the outputs that the Helios has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
