Hi, im in the UK and im gonna move to the states in about 7months, i
have a HD LCD TV

Spec

# 32" HD ready TV
# Nicam Stereo
# HDMI connection

# Pixel size: 0.17mm x 0.51mm
# HDMI: Rear 1
# Multi AV: NTSC/PAL/SECAM
# 8ms response time
# Scart input

i was wondering if i connect an American cable box into the Multi AV
input would i get a signal or would the fact that the TV' is Pal mean
that it would have been a waste of valuable shipping space?

Please help if you can or have i got the wwrong group?

SMF,

The "Multi AV" feature should allow NTSC TV here in the U.S. to work
properly. The local cable company box will provide video and audio outputs,
typically both analog and digital format, to connect to your TV. Different
cable companies use DVI or HDMI connections for digital video, which will,
in the worst case, require an inexpensive ($10) DVI to HDMI adapter. Analog
cable box video output will similarly require an adapter to go to your SCART
connection. Nicam is not used in the U.S., but your cable box will provide
analog audio outputs which will also connect through the same adapter into
the SCART port.

Your TV power supply ***MUST*** be capable of working with nominal 110 volt
AC 60 Hz power. You can check your owner's manual or look directly at the
power supply or the rear of the TV to see if this is an issue.

Hope this helps you.
