Sorry Ron, just filling in the gaps for the technically minded. Yes, I know 'region' isn't the issue here, but as it got mentioned...

My player has menu options to output to either format TV systems, that's what I meant by 'menu change' although (of course) unless I take the unit travelling it stays set to PAL output. But it was bought in the US and also had the advantage of twin voltage so I was able to test it before I returned.

Cheers, Nick
