Does my Kuro support PAL? - Blu-ray Forum

jcs913 · 01-27-2009, 01:02 AM

I am thinking of importing some titles from the UK that are in PAL and region B locked. I have the hack code for the LG BH200 to change to region B, so that is taken care of. But a question, I cannot seem to find an answer for is; Does my Kuro 5010 support PAL? I cannot seem to find the answer in the manual. If it does, what will the frame rate conversion be? Any answers are appreciated.

I can't say for sure, but I doubt it. Generally, only front projectors in the U.S. can play PAL sources.

Only Pioneer flat panel plasma monitors support PAL. The only Kuro's that support PAL and SECAM are the PRO-101FD and PRO-141FD. DVD's are NTSC and PAL. So far all BLU-RAY discs use 1080P/24 or 1080I for the main feature movie. The region B BLU-RAY movie disc will output 1080P/24 and is compatible with any HDTV in the world that accepts 1080P/24 input. Now playing the PAL bonus features on BLU-RAY Region B disc will require a new Pioneer that accepts PAL or a BLU-RAY player that can convert PAL to NTSC.

Thanks for the info HD. I keep forgetting that BD's do not fall under the PAL provision, unlike DVD's.
