Default NTSC miniDV recording required in UK

All

I would like to borrow a miniDV tape in the UK with an NTSC recording
on it, or will swap for an unused tape. The reason being, I have a
PAL Sony DCR-HC14E which I believe will play NTSC recordings, there
are several mentions of this on web sites. The manual does not imply
this to be the case however. So the only way to be sure is to try
an NTSC recording. I would expect playback to be in NTSC4.43 format.

I will of course cover postage costs in the UK.

Thanks if you can help. Please copy me directly on

I believe you'll find the HC1 is the exception. All the HCxxE camcorders
record/replay in PAL, while the HCxx (without the E) record/replay in
NTSC.

That is what the "E" in the model identifier signifies.

Perhaps Colin is confusing the fact that (virtually all) PAL DVD
players/recorders will happily replay NTSC recordings - though NTSC DVD
players/recorders will not replay PAL.

Must be only my HC14 that does it then!!

no, the "E" is to donate whether the item is a European model or not, that
it ties in with the PAL/NTSC playback is not what the "E" is there for!


Perhaps Colin is confusing the fact that (virtually all) PAL DVD


ALL European region 2 DVD players HAVE to and WILL play back PAL DVD's .
No Colin is right, a lot of European PAL Sony camcorders will play back NTSC
DV tapes, this includes the HC14, HC1 and many other of the Sony range.
