Hi Allan,

To my understanding, both are inter-compatible to either NTSC or PAL.; the player will auto detect what format the disc is and auto-switch over. As the manual says, "DVE-5207 automatically changes the video output signal (NTSC or PAL), according to the disc." On the other hand, the TMX-R705 needs manual settings (2 ways):
1. NTSC and PAL can be directly switched when the DISP on the TMX-R705 remote button is pressed for at least 2 seconds; or
2. On the TMX-R705 remote, press the SETUP button, press the DOWN or UP button within 10 seconds and select AUX 1 SIG. or AUX 2 SIG., press the LEFT or RIGHT button within 10 seconds to set the selection.

Just an after thought, pls verify that your DVD Region number is either 2 or ALL. Additionally, you can verify the color format the unit is using (as well as the disc) by pressing DISPLAY during playback on the player.

Should this not be corrective, perhaps you need to check the grounding/wiring and the interconnections cables.

Hope that this be of some help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Alpine TMX-R2000, how do I get the sound to play over the speakers?

Hi,

if this product instructions are not useful to help you install your device in the car and get the sound playing properly, I would recommend using a mobile mechanic to hook up the device and debug it for you as this will save you much time. But you can re-attempt the install based on the instructions once more as you might have accidentally skipped a step.

Thank you.

Using NTSC device on PAL TV

Hello
If you can buy one NTSC to PAL converter, you can use this device with your TV which has only PAL system. But it will be very difficult to get it from New Zeland, as these type of device will have no market at your country, and the no dealers will stock it of sell it. I assumes that your daughter is now in US or other countries, whch have only NTSC system adopted for both transmission and reception. Just ask her, whether dhe can get this type of device there. OK.

Well i bought a game called 2k8 basketball here in philippines, but i bought my xbox on australia, then i tryed my game and it said, ( The disc's region code is incorrect for this consol ) so how can i...

Sorry you can't fix it. Most games are Region specific meaning that they are playable only on Xbox 360 systems from the specific region that you have. If you bought your Xbox 360 in Australia then it is likely PAL system and can only play Pal games.

"Determine whether the game disc is from the same region as the region where you purchased the Xbox console. To determine the region, view the back of the game package. Look for one of the following codes:

* NTSC: North America and South America (United States, Canada, Mexico, Chile, and Brazil)
* NTSC-J: Asia (Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan)
* PAL: Europe, South Africa, India, Australia, and New Zealand"

If the game you have doesn't match with your Xbox 360 Region then you won't be able to play it. (but a few games are playable on multiple regions, check list below)

Check out this site prior to buying games to help identify which games that aren't PAL might be still playable on your system.: http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-00-3-xbox360_compatibility_guide-49-en-84-t.html

Notice that NBA 2K8 US version is not compatible with PAL system. If you had bought the US version of NBA 2K9 then it would have worked.

NTSC to PAL - Possible to change on TV?

While NTSC PAL and SECAM have some commons they cannot be easily converted to a reasonable picture without commercially expensive electronics ( $45,000,00) anything less would be almost not effective to make any picture viewable. the lines on PAL are greater in number than those on NTSC there is no way to add these lines without very sophiosticated technology.

Cheaper and less hassles to buy a new unit.

I recently moved from the US to Australia and brought my Cinego D-1000 with me. Sadly it does not play australian DVDs. how do I change the region? [email protected]

Hi, I have just done a bit of research on this unit, and while I live in new zealand, the australian and new zealand broadcast systems are similar as well as both using region code 4. My experience with american video devices has shown that american manufacturers do not normally produce multisystem devices to be used in other parts of the world and as such would most likely not work with the australian broadcast system never mind region 4 discs. I would strongly suggest you ensure that the unit is capable of dealing with a PAL signal first before you even bother with trying to multizone it. PS the zone coding was created by the american movie consortium and as such, it will be very unlikely you will find a region hack for this unit.
Cheaper to ditch the unit and purchase a local DVD player and projector.
PS you will get a better (albeit slightly duller) picture with a decent LCD projector. I strongly recommend the Panasonic PT-AE700 or later. You will be impressed.

ALPINE TMX-R1000 ISSUES

You don't have S-Video coming out of it, although it looks like it. It's actually a bundled cable that carries power, video, audio, and control signal for an Alpine DVD player. It plugs into an interface box that has the actual power connections and inputs/output, and the control cable for an Alpine DVD player. I know this is an old post, but if you still have the unit and would like to sell it, or if you want to get the interface box, I can help you...
