Acoustic Solution AS-8099

Hi,

I was given this player for an xmas pressie.... :)
I thought it as multi-regional. It is to a point, however it plays region 1,3,0 back back & white. >:(
Region 2 DVD's are ok.

Anyone know why this is and how can resolve it. ?

    Is your TV NTSC compatible?
    Is it PAL/60 compatible?

    Whats the make and model of the TV?
  • There's nothing to say on the tv if it is any of the things you mentioned. It's a 14" Sharp portable and I have had it a while. However before I got the dvd player I used to plug in my portable dvd player ( that was multi-regional ) and had no problem with playback using the leads + scart......... ???

    Try the setup of the DVD player and see if there is a Video option to force the output to be PAL and not AUTO.
  • Thank you.......the output option has worked.... ;D

    I love this site and it's contributors..... :)

    Happy New Year to you.......
