Hi,

I have a Beovision MX1500 that I want to use with a Super Nintendo NTSC. The console is modded to output RGB signal and support NTSC/PAL carts.

I was not able to have a video output using my setup (sounds works), but it works perfectly on the Beovision AV9000. I think it has something to do with NTSC support, but I thought that it won't matter with RGB output. It seems to be the case.

I am not very technical savy on theses questions, so feel free to tel me if I did something stupid :).

cheers,

S.

I don't think that the MX1500 was ever capable of processing NTSC signals,except perhaps if it were available in North America?

It was based on a Philips chassis,and adapted to function in specific markets,but none of the variants seem to cope with NTSC.

The AV9000 and most other B&O tv's of that era were built "in house" by B&O and were multistandard designs,albeit only via the av ports.

I think that you will some sort of standards converter box to use your console with the MX1500.

Great little telly's though,with super picture quality?
