Default Australian Power and Video Encoding System
Hello Guys,

since I always dreamed about an Amiga 4000 and I see that in Australian thay are not so expensive like in Europe I was wondering if they had the same 220V Power and PAL like in Europe or they have the same standards used in USA.

Any idea?

We use standard 220V 50Hz current and PAL is the video standard, but really video standards only meant something when there were tubes in TVs. Modern TVs, no matter where they are sold, have multisystem RGB, it was the picture tube that caused the incompatibility, when that was gone everything works. All TVs now are the same except for the tuner.

Are you asking if an Oz A4000 would be PAL or NTSC, 110 or 230V ?

I guess they match the country ! :-?

Cool - buy one of mine! :-D


The PSU requires no modification and they will display on a PAL TV.

It's not the tube, it's the tuner.
