Most (all?) NTSC only LD players would not know what to do with a PAL disc and simply reject it like it was a damagade disc.

Although the signal is stored 'composite' on the discs it still needs quite a bit processing before it becomes a signal suited for capture. And I'm pretty sure that the X0 player is filled with unique and special circuits that are all by design made for NTSC only and trying to tweak them for PAL playback would be extremly difficult, and you also need to find the X0 service manual and schematics first.

Possibly with the schematics in hand the X0 could be made to accept and sync a PAL disc but IMO you would have to process the video through other circuits and maybe even the demodulation stage needs to be different.

But hey, who would like to have their X0 player dissected?, I'll have a go at it
