PAL or SECAM ? it is not possible for me to say that, because all our tv sets are compatible pal and secam video system since 20 years
i prefer say it's UHF or VHF, and on Band I or II
i far as i know : UHF is only Secam ?, VHF is Pal ?, Video composite is Pal !
Scart/Peritel can be plug with Video Composite (bad quality), or with RGB signal (good quality)
hard to say what is pal or secam, it is the same for us
only NTSC is rare on our tv sets, and plays in black'n white
CX-2600 AS : i have take some photos for you, take a look here :

impossible to catch a video signal with my tv or my video-tape-recorder tuner, i'll try another method with very old UHF/VHF tuner, on the antenna cable is a sticker with VHF letters (VHF is more hard to catch, it is channel 02 to 06 ; UHF is better, channel 21 to 36), so i need to use VHF compatible tuner and it is not easy because it is old video signal (and i don't know if this console works, so the research is hard)
on photos you can see the "front black" is like Grain Leather with relief
it is very different of the CX-2600 GP wich is metal grey painting, smooth
so i think it's time to make a new category, these two consoles are definitively differents models
the "dark vador" classification can be killed, and replaced with model letters to make the difference between the black plastic front
box is in multi language, looks like an european version
under sticker in french only say legal notice without informations, so i think this console was sold in france (and in europe probably)
