I have a Sony 57" KP-57WS520 TV. I am trying to play a Pal disc on my NTSC TV. I have a PAL-NTSC Converter and have run my system through that.
How ever when I insert the Pal disc, the sound works fine, but the screen "rolls".
Is there any way with this TV that I can get it to display a Pal [50hz??] signal? Is there a way of stopping the screen from "rolling".
Appreciate your help, it's really annoying I thought the converter would work.
Thanks.

My PS2 play station display no signal on the TV screen when I insert a DVD game in the PS2.
There are probably a few problems here. What are you using to play the disc? Some NTSC players will "play" a PAL disc but interpret it as NTSC with the symptom you are describing. You need a DVD player that will play PAL. Many of those will output NTSC directly when set up to do so. The other alternative is to have a PAL compatible player that will output PAL into the converter. To narrow this down specifically, please post the model numbers and the connection scheme for your equipment. Once I understand your current setup, I should be able to describe a method to get this to work for you.

The problem is that the PS2 has circuitry designed to process NTSC signals not PAL. The output from the PS2 is NTSC. The disc will play fine because it is nothing but a stream of digital information that is converted to an analog NTSC signal. The converter would work IF you had a PAL PS2. The sync info is not being created properly during the digital to analog (DA) conversion. Other than using a PAL system and then the converter, I think you are out of luck.

Hey Dan,
I am trying to play the PAL disc in my NTSC PS2. When I put the disc in it loads fine, but the screen rolls and appears to be in black and white.
I can get the screen to not roll and be in color. But I am from Ireland and I am trying to get the Singstar Karaoke Games from there to play. [My Dad sent them over].
When that happens the audio and video are out of sync....Which is a problem when trying to play Karaoke games!
I bought a cheap PAL----->NTSC Converter off ebay :

And having run what I think is the PAL signal from the PS2 through the converter it still displays the rolling screen. Almost like it has no effect.
It does say a lot about your NTSC TV running at 50hz, that may have something to do with it, I don't see a "V-Hold" Button or a menu to change such settings.
Hope that gives you more to go on, appreciate your response.
