Hi there,
If I took a PAL DVD player from the UK and tried to connect it to a French TV using composite video, would it work?
I am a little confused. I understand that France uses SECAM but I've also definitely played PAL DVDs on French DVD players. Also, as I understand it, almost all modern TVs are designed to auto-detect if the input is PAL, SECAM or NTSC and switch accordingly. Is this correct? (i.e. manufacturers only make one TV which can be used in all territories - it saves them from having to build different hardware for the different territories).
Any help would be very greatfully received!
Many thanks,
Jack
