You can modify your NTSC settings by either modifying the 'firmware'. Alternatively, you can purchase "chips" that can be installed in your player that can play the PAL format.

What does video out NTSC mean?
There are two major color encoding formats. NTSC is the format used in North America, Japan and other countries. PAL is used in Europe and other countries. If a DVD player outputs a composite signal in NTSC format, it will need an NTSC compatible television to properly display the image. Many European televisions will handle either format but North American televisions are less likely to handle PAL signals. Additionally, DVD players have region codes that prevent discs from one region being played on a player from another region. European discs for example won't play on most North American players.

North America uses NTSC colour encoding at 59.94Hz, while Europe uses PAL at 50Hz. Additionally, US DVDs are zoned to prevent them being used in other parts of the world. To play a US DVD on a Dutch system, you need: 1 An NTSC compatible DVD player 2 An NTSC compatible television 3 A multi-zone DVD player. The only way to establish if you have all three is to check the manuals for each.
Why you can't play DVD's from Europe with a DVD player form U.S.?
ALL DVD's created are either burned with NTSC, which is what we use here in the US (All of the DVD players sold here are equipped to play NTSC-format DVD's) or with PAL, which is what they use in Europe. The DVD players in the US cannot play DVDs from Europe and vise versa because they are not formatted to play each kind of disc. There probably are some computer programs (which are pretty expensive) that can play a European DVD on a computer. But there is no way to play a European DVD on a normal DVD player in the US. ----- Next to the PAL/NTSC reason, DVDs (& BluRay's) have a zone number (retail and rental DVDs! A DVD player can (normally) only play the DVDs with the zone number from the region/country you bought it in. This regionalization is artificial and is due to a code put on, by the manufacturer. This is to preserve copyright for different countries. The DVD zone is mentioned on the backside of your cover and on your disc. You can also buy a DVD region 0 player which can play all regions but some DVDs are protected from these players. A list of the regions can be found on many websites eg. Wikipedia. Some DVD players can be converted to play all regions. This is a software patch sometimes invoked by special, secret, sequence of button pushes on the remote control. Generally cheaper, unbranded machines can do this. Google 'region hack' for the make of machine you have.
Are there any hdtvs that can switch between ntsc and pal internally?
With high-definition television, NTSC and PAL aren't really needed as specs anymore, since modern TV's connected with HDMI can display 24 to 30 frames per second at much higher resolutions. Analog broadcasts will soon be ending in most European and North American countries. What you want is a DVD player or VCR that can convert old NTSC or PAL format to allow you to watch them on one TV, hopefully by HDMI connection. Note that in addition to the NTSC/PAL difference, DVDs are authored with region codes that only allow DVD players sold in certain countries to play the discs.
