A friend of ours 9in her late 70's!) recently bought a DVD player and HDD recorder: DMR-EX83EB I have lent her a couple of DVD's that play fine in all our players and other people's on the cover it says DVD NTSC Region 0 abd DVD-9, but when she puts it in the her DVD is days incompatible system? I copied the DVD onto a DVD-R and get the same result, the EX83 says it is both PAL and NTSC, but I thought it would auto switch like most other things? surely she does not have to go into the menu every time and select the PAL or NTSC option?
Thnx for any pointers you can give in this

Also how is the DVD hooked up to the TV? I wonder if it is something weird going on with HDMI and it might work with SCART (or vice versa). So maybe try hooking it up with both and switch between the two to see if one plays OK and the other doesn't.
This could be a possibility, but to start mucking around with her TV and DVD and usiing scart / hdmi will just confuse her more ! but thankyou for the pointer.
As I mentioned in an earlier post if there are recordings set in the planner then it does not allow auto switching to NTSC.
Try deleting the planned recordings and see what happens.
Alternatively see this from the Panasonic support section

Bizarly this seems to crop up on some genuine UK sourced Daniel o, O'Donnell DVD's - no idea why but re initialize the machine and all is OK
