My tv on ntsc i want pal option - Proview HV-177 17 in. HD-Ready LCD Television

NTSC and PAL are not interchangeable on most devices (unless your Craig DVD player is a less common brand that allows this option). NTSC and PAL are the broadcasting standards between different countries. Most of Europe and neighboring areas use PAL. North America and Japan, as well as a few other areas, use NTSC.

These should not affect sound; they affect video. Normally, using a PAL device on an NTSC TV will show a black and white picture with a 50hz buzz present in the speakers. Is that the noise issue you're referring to?

Have you try: NTSC on PAL TV On • NTSC discs will play correctly on PAL-only TVs.
Off Use if your TV is already NTSC-compatible.

Many recent PAL TVs are compatible with NTSC input and so this setting can be switched off. Check the operating
instructions that came with your TV. See also About NTSC on PAL TV on page 124 for related information.

PAL-M is 525 line 29.97 frames per sec, PAL-N is 625 line 50 frames per sec. Most countries (e.g. UK) use PAL B/G/D/K/I which is 625 line 25 frames per sec. PAl-M is used in Brazil, PAL-N is used in Uraguay and Paraguay. Most modern TVs will handle both PAL and NTSC as long as the RGB input is used (via scart or HDMI).

There should be an output option that you change to NTSC (on your external tuner), Dvr's are pretty "proprietary", and are very sticky about accepting non-proprietary signals. For instance, a sattelite dish dvr, will not accept these inputs, nor will their hard drives re-format or zero out.

I have the DV3-8000; the service menu can be accessed by holding down keys 1 and 3 simultaneously; there is an option to select either NTSC or PAL; my GUESS is select PAL; don't know if there is more to it than that, but this is a start . . .

This is a VCR alone machine?Not a DVD and VCR combo?VCR alone machine dosen't have auto NTSC/PAL setting to play all the world regions.

There are currently 3 main television standards used throughout the world:

NTSC - National Television Standards Committee. The oldest existing standard, developed in the USA. First used in 1954. Consists of 525 horizontal lines of display and 60 vertical lines. Sometimes irreverently referred to as "Never Twice the Same Color." Only one type exists, known as NTSC M.
Here is a list of TV STANDAREDS I had for a while and can finally share it with someone. GOOD LUCK!!!! TECHMAN

SECAM - Système électronique pour Couleur avec Mémoire. Developed in France. First used in 1967. A 625-line vertical, 50-line horizontal display. Sometimes referred to by wags as "Something Essentially Contrary to the American Method" or SEcond Colour Always Magenta!" Different types use different video bandwidth and audio carrier specs. Types B and D usually used for VHF; types G, H, and K for UHF; types I, N, M, K1 and L for both VHF/UHF. Different types are generally not compatible.

PAL - Phase Alternating Line. Developed by German engineer Walter Bruch and the German electronic corporation Telefunken. Walter Bruch
patented his invention 1963 and the first commercial application of the PAL system was in August 1967. Also a 625/50-line display and variant of NTSC. Proponents call it "Perfection At Last." Due to the cost of the enormous circuit complexity, critics often refer to it as "Pay A Lot". Different types use different video bandwidth and audio carrier specs. Common types are B, G and H; less common types include D, I, K, N and M. The different types are generally not compatible.

there should be an option in your picture settings menu

While a modern PAL TV can display NTSC sources (namely DVD players and PAL VHS players that support pseudo-NTSC), an NTSC TV can not display a PAL source, unless it's an expensive multi-standard TV. Sorry pal, bad choice.

Hi!

The DVD player you have is only compatible with NTSC TV. There is no way of changing that to PAL.

It is compatible though with PAL discs. It will convert the video signal of a PAL disc to NTSC format.
