kingclay Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Just wondering if anyone knows whether a Japanese purchased DVD Recorder with inbuilt STB will be able to tune in to Australian DTV. Basically are there tuners and our tuners compatible. Cheers Clay PS. sorry if this has already been discussed, but i cannot find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tahoma Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Any chance of a bit more information. What broadcast signal do they transmit? Why wont they work?Cheers Clay Hi kingclay, The Japanese have chosen and currently use a digital TV system called ISDB-T, which I think is a variant of COFDM, (DVB-T) which is the system we use and as with technology, they are not compatible. Hence their DVD recorders would only work in Japan. Regards, Tahoma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DVEous Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Even more fundamental, the base-band video that any device for the Japanese market would output is 525 NTSC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
