UK, US and JAP Radio Signal

[eyedee]

I was thinking of picking up a Sony CD Head Unit from the USA which I have never done before. I then thought about my JAP Double Din DC Radio that came with my REX, and that it wouldnt search the UK FM band to pick up loads of stations. Would a US head unit do the same thing?

Cheers :wave

You'd need to check the spec on the stereo , I got a doudle din tv headunit from hong kong but it used the UK wave bands

Not sure if the yanks use a different waveband , maybe try asking on one of the yank forums

Yes, the american wavebands are different to both us and japan....i'm sure you can get a converter to change from usa to uk wavebands....just like you can with japan to uk wavebands.

Anything else like speakers, subs, amps etc, is fine to buy and use.

I bought a kenwood tv head unit from the states last year and cannot get a radio signal. My local audio shop gave me a couple of waveband converters to try but that did'nt solve the problem either.
Then i tried the kenwood website and there's a reset you can do which can sort it but is not guarenteed.Did'nt work for me, as for sony no idea mate but keep us posted if you have any luck.
