Hi Fede',
First of all, welcome to the european side of the Dragon ;) :P
What is your project by the way ?
I suppose you have a NTSC laser disc (Dragon's Lair or Space Ace ?) and you want to show the content on your PAL TV ?
Well, it won't work :-\ Because it's an NTSC US player and it doesn't have a scart connector ? So I presume you only have a composite out connector ?!
Most of PAL TV can recognize NTSC signal but via the RBG signal... but it your player don't have a SCART output, you won't have this RGB signal :-\
Maybe can you give us the exact model of the player, and maybe a picture of it, in order to see all the output connectors ?

Maybe someone can help him :? For me it's not so simple :-\ :-\ The video connector it's so strange :ghost: :ghost:
Thanks.

Hi,
most of the newer TVs in Italy are capable of displaying NTSC composite video, if provided via composite input or SCART connector (not via antenna input). This player is NTSC only and doesn't offer RGB video output, so you have two options :
- use a BNC to RCA adapter and hook it up to your TV in either a composite video input or the composite input of the SCART connector. If your TV set is capable of displaying also NTSC signal, then you will be fine. If not, you'll see a black and white picture.
- buy a NTSC to PAL or a NTSC to SCART (RGB) adapter, then connect the Sony LDP to any italian TV using this adapter. They are not so expensive, you can buy only for less than 50 euros.
Bye,
Matteo

I have seen that green TV connector at a TV station I worked at. I was not one of their geeks, so I didn't play with it. They had a cable to go into a standard Video Board.

"that green TV connector" is called BNC connector. The audio connectors are called RCA connectors. Often on regular TVs you find only RCA inputs for both composite video and audio. Video is usually yellow, audio are black and white or red and white.

Nope Teo :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
He refer to the "TV" connector witch is green, not the bnc connector, I think it's used to sync the dlp output with an another video signal "like" a genlock
See ya

Hi fede, could you contact me ?
I see your collection and I think that the problem is your player.
If you like I can give to you a player for your needs, in exchange of yours.
Bye

Whoops sorry, I didn't read carefully the message. Yes, you are right. Anyway, the BNC video output is the one to use for testing on the TV like I suggested in my previous messages.
Thanks for the correction,
Matteo
