yep there are PAL and NTSC versions. A NTSC version used in the UK will display a black and white image
The PAL version should also have a little switch, to select PAL-I or PAL-G operation.
yeah I also pop it open and I see that crystal is for PAL version, I also test it on my ntsc a500 and its black and white picture. Merlin well the switch is L and H, unless that modulator is broken.
thanks!
All the 520s I've seen have only had L H on them. If I remember correctly that's for the sound carrier.
Dave G :cool:
Erm, I must be mistaken then. FAIL :oops: :Doh:
What was I really thinking of that had the switch for PAL-I or PAL-G? Was it possibly a console adapter...?
Merlin? :wooha: its ok we wont ban you hahah just kidding mate :D
As far as I know, all A520 have the H-L switch to choose which TV channel you want: 3 or 4 for NTSC units and dunno which ones for PAL units.
I belive the only way to tell the difference is just to pop it open and look at the crystal number, i google it and it is PAL.
The NTSC unit doesn't have a crystal.
