What country are you in and what country's CD32 do you have?

Not sure how to access the Early Boot Menu on CD32, if there is one. On other Amigas you can swap between PAL/NTSC by holding both mouse-buttons on startup.

The CD32 had Kickstart 3.1 so it might be possible somehow...

As for VGA, did the CD32 have a 23-pin video port? I thought that came with the SX32 and that it just had RF, Composite phono and S-Video/S-VHS?

The long way around would be to get an SX32 and a Scandoubler/FlickerFixer for VGA output.

I've just edited my posts a million times - the CD32 is indeed a vague creature.

We need photos of it's rear end, minus any expansions. Nothing indecent though, the expansion cover must be there!

Read just now that the SX32-Pro expansion for the CD32 has a 23-pin Amiga video out and a 15-pin VGA out inbuilt.

Strange that the standard unit didn't come with the 23-pin port though, consoles like the Sega Megadrive/Genesis allowed for RGB from a DIN socket next to the RF out.

Does the CD32 have a yellow composite phono output though, if not then some kind of S-Video/SVHS-SCART cable might be needed.
