I Have Recently Bought A Impreza which was imported from Japan,
It has a Kenwood Head Unit, An Addzest Visual Audio Center Unit VAC-404 And a Kenwood Sat Nav / Cd / Cd Rom,

I am having problems with the Addzest Tv,
Can anyone tell me how to Tune in the channels,
I am able to get picture's & Sound but it's as if they need fine tuning,
please E-mail Reply's to dj.glen@talk21.com or post reply here on scoobynet,

Many Thanks,
Glen

 

Are the pictures jittery and greyscale? The japanese broadcast NTSC tv signals (like the american tv system (NTSC = Never The Same Colour twice )), your unit may need to be converted to deal with out PAL broadcast system. If this is the case, it could be cheaper to look into buying a Clarion PAL convertor/tuner to run with the Clarion rebadged Addzest kit.

I thought the japanese broadcast SEECAM not NTSC, I also thought they had a refresh rate of 70Hz rathetr than 60 in the us. Perhaps I am wrong, either way, the clarion tuner should do it since the screen is just a monitor with standard inputs. Infact you could buy the pioneer tv tuner which I know from personal experience works really well.
