Amigas and Plasma TV!

[CLS2086]

Hi,
be a warrior, hack your Plasma !
The same model is avaible in Europe with Peritel/Scart "RGB" input that can handle all 15 Khz Amiga Mode (50/60 hz).
So you must try to get in touch with a technician and go to the internal "SERVICE MENU" to enable 15 Khz input  :-)

Hi,
it's a hard time to live in the USA...
There is few solutions :
Your brand new Plasma/LCD TV got
1 - a VGA input -> try to use it simply with the old VGA Commodore or AmiVGA adapter. If you're lucky enought, you'll enjoy all Amiga PAL/NTSC and VGA modes in fully RGB maximum quality (like in europe since ages..).
2 - an analogique component input (YUV) -> try to build a RGB (15 Khz) to analogique Component adapter (may be on Aminet).

or try to tweak this one :

3 - a digital Component input (YPrPb) : buy a not cheap adapter : http://www.cyberselect.co.uk/product/753
4 - a hdmi : well... convert your RGB/VGA to DVI-D ($200), then buy a DVI-D to HDMI cable ($5-10).

5 - a PAL/NTSC composite input locked in NTSC mode : go and see a technician to allow the PAL mode by the secret "mode service", or by a soldering.
6 - a secret scart "room" : Ask for a technician, he normaly got the international service manual of the TV. Most ot TV are made in China or Japan like European and japaneses models who have the Scart, so there is a luck that you get a working RGB input.
