Toshiba 24Z33 NTSC compatibility problems

[Cactus_Chris]

Hi

I just recently bought a brand new Toshiba 24Z33B from comet. The problem I am having is that whenever I play ntsc films via my DVD player or games via my Playstation 2 white lines that look like stretch marks appear on the right and left hand sides of the screen.

They are really noticable in dark movies and are a real annoyance. Even when i play my ntsc japanese dremacast on the tv via an rgb scart cable the same problem occurs.

This problem even occurs when i play my films and games using an rgb scart lead via the rgb scart port 1 on the tv.

This problem does not occur at all with PAL material.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards

Chris

Hi
just thought you might want to look at:
http://thedvdforums.com/forums/showt...hreadid=236398
where this type of problem is discussed.
With my Sony CRT TV I resored to S-video to remove the bands on NTSC - also need to set DVD player to NTSC...
best of luck

This problem (along with several others) is also being discussed more locally.

Thanks for your help guys.

I don't think i can try the s video option as the tv has no s video inputs do you guys have any other suggestions as i still cannot access that dvd forum that you posted the link to because my registration is taking forever to go through.
