It appears this player does not have a conversion circuit, so it cannot play NTSC discs on a PAL-only TV. I know PAL TVs can at least see NTSC signals, but they may be correct that it only comes through in black and white. I seem to recall some problem, but I'm in the USA and have never dealt with it. These retailers do mod it for regions, though. Does it have to be this player? Megachangers are not often the best choice for an all-around player.

Perhaps there is a European version, might even have a different number. Sometimes the European version has the conversion circuit when the USA version doesn't. But I couldn't say for this particular model.
