| 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 Colin www.colin99.co.uk www.video99.co.uk |

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. -- Tony Morgan |

Must be only my HC14 that does it then!! 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. 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. -- Tony Morgan |
