UK sourced TVs in Australia

Now you have jumped in with two big feet again!! By all means make the necessary apology!!

I actually don't have a problem with Lee mentioning his business in threads.

After all, he is a paying sponsor of the site.

The same goes with Steve at Sounds Heavenly, STB, Hygge Living and the Beo5 Programming Service.

 

They all pay their way! Maybe the other B&O resellers who feel like they're getting a bad deal might like to sponsor as well??

Don't even go there!!!!!

Ok that's sounding good...so I buy in the UK from you say, it duly arrives in Oz...how do it know what to change in the menu?

Also what about digital tuners?  Are they built in or would I need to use a separate STB?  Am thinking of the BV10-40" or possibly the 32".

If it all gets too confusing to set up do you think a local tv/aerial tech person would be able to do it.  Are B&O any different in that regard?

Thanks everyone,

Paul

 

Hi Paul,

where are you in Australia?

Hi all,

 

I am thinking about buying a pre-owned Beosystem3 from UK to be used in Australia.  I wonder if there would be any issues.

 

From what I could gather, in this case a beosystem 3 - Australia and New Zealand specific model is type 9603 and UK specific is Type 9601.

The Active CTV system in

Type 9601 is 'I' only

Type 9603 is 'B/G'

Can anyone shed light on what active CTV system does and how does the alphabetical designation differ between countries?

 

Thanks

 

Matt

All is revealed here 

Hi Jonathan

I'm in Sydney.  It looks like it should work fine from what I've read above.  Have you done this yourself?

 

Hi Paul,

I haven't, but the UK and Australia both use Pal so it should work fine!

Best of luck, go for it I say 🤒
