And from what I've seen, the standard setting of DVD-Players sold in Europe is to always output PAL, you'd have to change it to Auto yourself.

I said that [almost] all PAL gear can play/display NTSC videos. I said however not that they will accept NTSC. Very few PAL gear, mostly in profi field, can natively treat NTSC videos. The rest of the NTSC compatible devices convert NTSC into PAL60.
MOD.PAL is actually PAL60, without entering into many details an NTSC-video having NTSC framesize and fps but encoded as PAL. Snapshot from my Pioneer's handbook.
