Strange Television Error Message?

Question

I recently bought a DVD-- Diary Of Dreams: Nine In Numbers. I use a Playstation 2 to play my DVD's, as it's compatible to do so and it keeps me from having to spend sixty bucks on a DVD player that's worth its salt.

However, I'm getting a strange error sort of message...

It doesn't actually say 'error', but it's the same bloody thing. When I tried to play the DVD in the Playstation 2, it starts up as usual, then it says "TV System Doesn't Match".

My question, I guess has two parts:

1) What does this message mean?

and...

2) Is it possible for me to fix it?

Additional information: My television brand is impossible to type so it's readable, but it's pronounced "ee-low", and it's about a year old. It has patch cord plugs in the front and back and I've tried both sets of patch cord plugs in my attempt to remedy the problem; I get the same message from both sets. I don't have many ideas of what could be wrong, other than the given components aren't compatible. Any more ideas?

Answer 1

Did you buy the DVD from country different than your TV?

Could be a region mismatch. Your PSP may no play DVDs made for another 'region".

Or it could be a PAL/NTSC (video standard) mismatch.
