PC Engine + AV Booster on PAL TV - HELP!
« on: April 12, 2005, 08:20:56 PM »
If I use my PC-E with an AV booster in order to have AV output...

can I connect the PC-E to a PAL (Philips) TV that does not
have an NTSC tuner but can support 50-60Hz.


For instance, the TV shows the 60Hz mode on Sega Dreamcast games.

It does work this way, or I need an NTSC TV?

Please, help, somebody... I am comfused! :cry:

I don't know the AV booster but think that you'll need an NTSC->PAL convertor. The PCE send out an NTSC-J signal, and as long as your TV can't display NTSC you won't get the correct picture (black/white screen).

I own an older Philips TV myself, which displays 60Hz without a problem, but cannot display the NTSC signal provided by my PC-FX without a convertor.

Hope this helps

I bought mine at Play-Asia. Have a look for it here.
Or try the one available at Lik-Sang here.
It doesn't delivers highest quality picture, but it's better than nothing. I use it for connecting my PC-FX and I'm quite pleased with the quality. The best way for connecting your PCE would be to have an RGB mod installed.
