From what I can gather your tv will not work so what you have to do is buy a Ozzy vid and conect it up using scart leads and everything should be hunky dory

With us we got a picture but no sound, you can get a aussie video and do it that way or pay around $70 to get it fixed. We just brought a new one and will get the original one sorted when we move into our own house

Ours worked fine. Just changed the plug and tuned it in. No problems at all.

After some fiddling, retuning and changing the frequency our 1 year old Toshiba gets a great picture but no sound. However once I wire in our UK DVD player we get perfect sound. I had emailed Toshiba in the UK and they said it would not work. There are many conflicting stories on here (do a Search as there are many useful threads on this topic) but my advice would be to bring what you have. It may work, you may need to connect in a DVD player and if not you could use it to play DVD's or Video's on.

Good luck.

Hi Have just answered a similar thread asking same. Our Toshiba (6/7 years old ) Rear Projector works fine. You will get a picture. As for sound you will need to access menu set up and switch ( if you have the option ) to PAL B/G which is the Australian system as opposed to PAL I or NTSC (US) etc

Hope this works for you all

Barry
