Hi everyone,
I will be relocating from Japan shortly and was wondering whether my 46inch Plasma TV (bought in Japan) will work in Singapore.
I`ve heard stories that the TVs in Japan are digital and specifically made for the Japan market, hence will not work overseas. I also plan to subscribe to cable TV, so wondering whether these channels will work as well.
Appreciate any feedback or experiences people have.
Thanks

unless your plasma is multi-system, it wont work. japan system is NTSC and singapore is PAL.

But just to complicate things: If you don't intend to use the TV for on air, you could hook it up to a multi-system DVD recorder with inputs for PAL and outputs for NTSC. So, you hook cable box into DVD recorder and run TV from it. A web search turns up several models.

Thanks for the replies. Worst case scenario (assuming I cant sell it here before I leave), I`ll use it just to watch DVDs.....
