When Australia introduced colour in the 1970s (very late to the party).. we adopted PAL... with Telefunken owning the patents only Oz and European manufacturers were licenced to sell sets here...well that was the plan until GE announced they were happy to licence the Japanese companies.... thru their cross patents with Telefunken. The result that Sony etc were able to sell full PAL-D sets.
A number of other sets were directly imported by retailers. Hence the Sony 13" mentioned above... the only Sony set officially released here was the KV1800AS ... a full PAL-D set but multistandard sets were available as well with European PAL G tuners (which did not receive our odd channel 5A)
