Your only solution to this problem is to buy a PAL capable player, but
this does not necessarily rule out playing NTSC discs on the same player.

In the industrial market, the Sony LDP-3600 can play both PAL and NTSC
LaserDiscs when used with a multi-standard monitor.

In the domestic market, the Sony MDP-515 with play both PAL and NTSC
LaserDiscs when used with a multi-standard monitor.  The Pioneer
CLD1450 will play both PAL and NTSC LaserDiscs on a PAL monitor.

So now you know what to choose for your next LaserDisc player :-)
Hope this info helps.
