Hope sbdy can help. My mother lives in France and i would like to buy her a DVD player for xmas but I was wondering if i get one here will it work fine over there? does the pal/secam tv system affect it? i know dvds are region 2 but i don't know about the connection? If sbdy can help i will appreciate. I don't have time to get one overthere when i go and anyway they are a lot cheaper here!!!
thanks a lot.

France is PAL too. The only thing you'll have to worry about is the plug.0

Really? When did that happen, I thought they were still SECAM. Anyway the processing into RGB component of SCART is digital processing and I think it bypasses the whole analog incompatibility issue PAL/SECAM anyway so it should be ok."She is quite the oddball. Did you notice how she didn't even get excited when she saw this original ZX-81?"

thanks for your answers. Garcia i do think that France is still SECAM.. that's why we can buy video tapes out there and vice versa... they play in black and white...that should be a xmas present sorted then... MERCI!A friend is a present which you give yourself (R.Stevenson)
