Quali-tv setup question

Quali-tv power question

I just received a quali-tv receiver from the Netherlands.
It has a European plug on the end.I went to radio shack
and bought an adapter for the plugin but the receiver will not turn on.
Do I need an Adapter made for the Netherlands to power up the Quali-tv
or should any European power adapter work?

I'm not sure how the power supply works on the Quali, but it might require 220v. If it does, you can get a transformer. Check for a specifications sticker somewhere on the receiver, that should tell you what the operational voltage range is.

I checked the specifications: Voltage Input: 100~240 VAC,50 - 60Hz

So it should work with the "Radio Shack adapter".

I have a new quali-tv receiver.When I turn it on I get a rolling screen.
I think this is pal.Everything is written in Dutch so I can't see how to set it up.Can anyone who has one help me get it setup?Thanks

Hit the video format button on your remote until the rolling stops. I can't remember which format it is, but it will stop when you hit the right one.

Any questions you have concerning the Q post them here, there are a few of us on this site that have them. Also feel free to PM me with any questions you have. The main thing with this receiver is patience. I have had mine going on 2 years and I learn something new every day, right Al.

Everything is written in Dutch

I bought mine from a dealer in Missouri, must be an import/export thing. My manual is in English, Dutch, French, Italian, German, Spanish and Portuguese. You will learn more by asking questions, the manual is very vauge.

I think they bought it from overseas to avoid the 400.00 markup the dealers here charge. The downside is what they are experiencing, no support if you have any problems.

Which is what's keeping me from getting one from overseas.

 

[Diamond Jim]

I hear ya. It's worth it to me to have Rick available via e mail or phone when ever I need him.

Absolutely Jim! This is a very querky receiver, but because of what it does, it's the best receiver I have. I would hate to be without it!

Since you got yours overseas, I don't know what to say about the power, but I got mine from Lee @ MechTech and it had a European cord and a US cord. Jim's idea should be right, use the video format button on your remote.

This is avery nice receiver and it does 4.22
perfectly.

What was the problem? Those of us that are considering tempting fate and ordering one from overseas wanna know.

From watch I gather it had a European power cord and the manual was in Dutch.

What was the fix though? did it just start working?

I found two on ebay again I can get for around 300.00 shipped. Looking awfully tasty.:

You've got that right Jim! This is the "Flakeyest receiver I've ever seen", but I couldn't imagine myself without it. It will eventually overload memory space and get completely out of hand? But, when it works right, and I guess it does most of the time for the most part, it's my favorite receiver!
I think his problem was the receiver defaults to 576p or 576i (PAL) maybe, and he needed to get it to 480p/480i/720p/1080i to get it to work. And it being for Europe, his may not have either of the 480's?

Al you are correct it comes without the 480"s and the only way to get it is to load the latest software after that everything works perfectly.
