InspaDave Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Any conversion problem with DVDs from Japan playing in US players?Asking because European electricity uses a different current(?) than US. Not only is the US/Europe equipment incompatible, but VHS tapes will not work in the others machine. Bought a VHS tape at the Iceland airport years ago (using up the excess Kroner) and had to have the tape converted so I could see it at home. (Conversion cost more than the tape. ) Japan is DVD region 2. However, you can find DVDs that are all region. I'll email PALS to find out. As far as the electricity thing . . . stuff here is 50 and 60 hertz, because eastern Japan is 50Hz, and west Japan is 60Hz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 The DCJ DVDs are DVD rom, so they are not specified to any region... in fact, most of PALs stuff are region free... so are DCI DVDs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMAO, keeps getting worse and worse . And US/Europe has that 120/220 volts(?) thing going on. Too bad I never made it to Yokosuka to see it first hand.

Jupp Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Is it possible to get every year on DVD from Pals??? I am looking for a full DCJ DVD Collection!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InspaDave Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I received mine yesterday. It's high cam only, but the picture quality is good and so is the sound. Again I am amazed at how all the shows were entertaing. Just some great stuff to be seen. Scouts were so obviously the champions. Their drumline was scary good at times. Tokyo Phoenix still has the best brass sound in Japan. Inspires were rough around the edges, but the show was as well designed as the past few years. Visually it was the most interesting program. Of course, all the top groups were pwnd by the Shonan Dolphins! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InspaDave Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 ordering the DVDs just slipped my mind... I need to get on the ball! I should mention the great service from PALS. I placed my order last Thursday, and received it the following Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Ordered them Thursday and got them today. You're right, Scouts were cleaner, but Inspa is a very interesting and entertaining show. English announcer could do without, or find someone else... I love what he's doing, but man... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InspaDave Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Something strange I noticed about the DVDs was that the right and left channels are mixed up. Really apparent in Inspa's show when the sops and baris exchange licks. Baris are side 1, but I heard them in my right ear (was wearing headphones).
