some sort of compatibility, but not all the time....wank.
May not be your problem but..
Some japanese DVD players reset back to NTSC when they powered off, and won't recognise PAL disks if they are put in first after being turned on; you get a 'wrong disk' error or similar.
Put an NTSC in disk first, after it reads okay, take that out and put a PAL one in, from then on the automatic switching should work until the machine is powered off. Rinse and repeat.
If the first disk you are putting in causes an error, put in a reputable disk from Disney etc. to reset it (not those disks you bought from that guy in Kabukichō).
