We were trying to get our surround speakers set up on our Oritron DVD..when we were going thru the menu to set all the parameters, we changed from PAL to NTSC and we've lost the picture. We've got audio, but with no picture, we can't even get back to the menu to reset. Don't know if it was the PAL/NTSC change that did it, but we're without a picture..
Phase Alternating Line (PAL) is a colour encoding system for analogue television used in broadcasttelevision systems in most countries broadcasting at 625-line / 50 field (25 frame) per second (576i)
NTSC is the video system or standard used in North America and most of South America. In NTSC, 30 frames are transmitted each second. Each frame is made up of 525 individual scan lines.
You might try disconnecting all power from the system. unplug it.
disconnect the TV. Power back up. Maybe it will reset to factory settings. See if your TV will have a switch to NTSC.

You have to blindly instruct the NTSC/PAL menu item, which toggles between NTSC and PAL;
This is how it is done:
1) turn your dvd player off.
2) Turn it back on and make sure there is no DVD in the player tray.
This will ensure the menus are active
3) Using the remote, press the dowm menu selector key exactly three times
4) press the center menu select key once.
This will activate the display adjustement menu
5) press the down menu key exactly once.
This will activate the NTSC/PAL menu
6) press the center menu key
DONE.
The player should now have switched back to NTCS if it was in PAL.
IF it was in NTSC it should have switched back to PAL.
Note: If you still have the manual you can follow the menu tree blindly using the instructions in the manual. The above sequence is for activating the NTSC/PAL menu.
This player can also switch to progressive scan, which creates a similar problem. At least the progressive scan menu has enough warnings before it will actvate.

I would make sure to add step 2.1 which is to select the menu button. I tried these steps but without selecting the menu button first, I could not reset. Good luck
