Problem with Toshiba sd-1200 dvd player

Well, on mine, it just stops playing if you set it to PAL and put in an NTSC disc. I guess it
might be for people who have PAL-only sets. Um.

Sounds as though some setting has changed in the TV ?  What you seem to be experiencing is
a NTSC picture displayed on a PAL only TV.  I assume your TV is multi system (i.e. PAL and
NTSC) ? Does it have an AUTO setting, has this been disabled or set to PAL ? Try forcing
it to NTSC and if that is the case and see what happens.

No idea about the second bit

    The other thing it could be, is that you've done something like set
the DVD player to play PAL only. My SD2109 can be set to only produce a
PAL output - when you do this it just won't play the disc.
    Yours is a later model, so maybe its put together so that when you
put in an NTSC disc while it's set to PAL it just puts out a PAL black
and white picture from the original NTSC. If this IS the problem, then
you can fix it in the SETUP menu by changing it to AUTO, just like if
it's the TV.

Hmm I thought in the Tosh. this only affected the menu (ie the players menu is played back
in PAL or NTSC etc) NOT the playback of the DVD ?
