RE: NTSC playback



Hi..

After receiving the fireplace DVD (thanks rob!) ... I popped it into my sony
DAV-S550 player, it started to play ... great I thought ... however  it was
in black & white.

The thing is, I do not use a tv as such, its an old monitor - with scart
input / bnc input and phono in/out's ... no tuner. (hey .. it was cheap and
after my tosh tv died... ) I've been told that the reason I cannot view this
disc in colour is because my TV (if that's what I can call it) doesn't
support NTSC ... so I either need a new tv (not viable at the moment due to
a v.poor bank balance) or a ntsc / pal converter (seen in maplins for around
30quid)

What I'm hoping one of you can tell me is either:

This bit of kit from maplin's will sort it out so I can view import dvd's
fine, or
I'm stuck with B&W viewing until I can afford to get a nice new tv.

Oh .. just thought, its currently connected using composite outputs
(although was going to change it at the weekend for SVHS (using svhs / scart
cable)

Any thoughts / advice greatly appreciated.
Jonathan.
