I fully appreciate that this thread is very old (3178 days) but I firmly believe that I have a valid comment to make or add to the mix. As you are a US company with contacts in the UK you will be fully aware of these details but some of your readers may not be. > US = 120V, UK = 240V US = 60 Hz, UK = 50 Hz > Notwithstanding the voltage it is more the frequency that I am concerned with, I will explain. I have read somewhere that the difference in cycles per second between UK & US i.e. UK DVD's will spin up on a US DVD player but the image portrayed on the television screen will at best be distorted and at worst unrecognisable. This article went onto say no matter what converters you use between player and television or re-burning a new DVD the output on the television will still be the same. The reason for my reply to this thread is the O.P then the comprehensive reply that followed. To finish off; I have just purchased a box set of “Doc Martin” DVD’s region code 2 PAL. On the jewel case it states “disc formats” X10 DVD9: dual layer single sided disc. Feature aspect ratio 16:9 (original aspect ratio 1.78.1) Widescreen version. These DVD’s are for my fiancée who lives in Houston which as you are aware is region code 1. My fiancée has a television and a standalone DVD player obviously these are all set up for region code 1 and successfully plays DVD’s etc. So you can fully understand my consternation. I look forward to your comments. Kind regards Tony |
