	Amiga CDTV (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The CDTV was hailed as the next computer evolution, moving the machine from the bedroom into the living room.
		This led to mass confusion, computer people did not buy it because "it wasn't a computer", while non-computer people said it was "too much like a computer." It only sold in small numbers but did introduce the Amiga to the advantages of CD as a storage method.
		The CDTV was launched as a 'Brown' good, more akin to your stereo or kettle than a computer.

	CDTV Upgrade Project Has Reached the Release Stage (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Is happy to announce that the CDTV upgrade project has reached the release stage of development.
		There will be further testing, but so far it has been determined that the CDTV will boot from a 880 floppy drive containing the workbench 3.1 disk, and operate exactly as a 500/2000 with 1 meg would, except that you will have a fully functional internal CD drive, and S-VHS output.
		At this moment the CDTV is the only CBM developed unit to have this high definition output.

	Cdtv - The Next Level Forum
		I bought Battle Ace for the SuperGrafx and Defender of the Crown for the CDTV for $2 a piece.
		CDTV games like Defender of the Crown, Xenon 2, Lemmings, etc. are pretty much identical to the Amiga ones.
		I'm glad I did'nt fall for the demo, because my Amiga 500 did just fine, compared to the CDTV, which turned out to be one of the biggest flops in Videogame history.

	Workbench Nostalgia; history of the AmigaOS GUI: CDTV
		Mostly this was because the A500+ shipped with Kickstart 2.04 and the A570 ROM code had to be compatible with this and the original 1.3 of the CDTV and the original A500.
		The upgrade will work in ALL CDTV's that do not have the upside down Flash ROM Board, which was the unit released to developers.
		Although CDTV units were supposedly Kickstart/Workbench 1.3 only (the majority of software written for the CDTV was programmed with only 1.3 in mind), some are capable of running WB 2.04+.

	Mysterious Ways - Amiga CD32 review
		CDTV was designed to do something totally different - a home multimedia system for entertainment, education, reference and productivity, and was never really given long enough to prove itself.
		As on the CDTV and A570 the volume slider only affects the volume through the headphones, and has nothing at all to do with the volume levels through the Audio out or the TV output.
		There is no way to upgrade a CDTV to the minimum standard required for CD32, it requires replacement of almost everything, including the CD-ROM, and the motherboard, that is of course if the replacement parts were available, which they aren't.

	Amiga Auckland OCS CDTV
		The CDTV was introduced in April 1991 under the headline "TALK TO YOUR TELEVISION" and was marketed as the world's first CDTV interactive multimedia player.
		Designed to blend in with the audio and video products of the day, it was finished in fl and tried to look nothing like a computer until one checked the mass of ports and connectors on the back.
		Despite all these attributes the CDTV was not a good seller, partly due to poor marketing by Commodore (sound familiar ?), and partly due to a lack of good software on CD.

		The motherboard was completely redrawn using the surface mount technology introduced in the A600, but the functional blocks of CDTV were kept.
		It was too late, the AGA based A1200 was round the corner.
		Commodore should have already developed the CDTV replacement with the AGA chipset, which held off more than a year in the shape of the CD32.

		There were two CDTV models : the CDTV-1 used the Amiga 500 hardware and the CDTV-2 used the Amiga 500+ hardware.
		Unlike other Amiga CR revisions, the CDTV CR was completely redesigned, utilizing the updated Amiga 600 technology (for more information, visit the Amiga Interactive Guide).
		The manager of the team promoting the CDTV was Nolan Bushnell, the man who founded Atari.

	Commodore CDTV repair and troubleshooting information
		These CDTV genlock video cards don't have the RF modulated TV output but you can still connect to most newer style televisions as long as they have a video in RCA jack or you can run the CDTV through the video input of a VCR and into your television.
		After unplugging the CDTV if you take the top off of the unit you should try pressing firmly on all of the socketed chips to make sure that they are seated properly.
		Sometimes these CDTV units require the CD (in its caddy) to be inserted and ejected a couple of times before it will detect the CD.

		Please note that my CDTV unit was purchased in June 1992, and there may have been some minor changes to the hardware sold since then (keyboard and mouse).
		In short, the CDTV has a motherboard different than the other Amigas, and depending on whom you ask, is similar to either the A500 or A2000 mother- boards.
		CDTV's Video Slot comes filled with a video output card, and I can think of two other devices available for it: Commodore's CD-1300 genlock, and the AVM card (manufactured by America Multimedia, Inc., according to the "Commodore Multimedia" literature).

	AMI Sector One - Features - Commodore CDTV
		Commodore's CDTV (=Commodore Dynamic Total Vision) was a multimedia computer which was introduced on the market in 1991.
		The CDTV came too early: In 1991 there were still a lot of people who were mainly C64 and Amiga users.
		Because of a disappointed number of sold hardware units in the first year of the CDTV's introduction there were hardly companies who supported the CDTV with high quality leisure software.

	"CDTV" Take II. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		One would speculate that it was indeed designed as a high end upgrade to the CDTV, or perhaps to be sold alongside the CDTV as an advanced model.
		Comparing this machine to the CDTV, the first thing one notices is that the CD-ROM drive uses a standard slide out tray instead of the CDTVs caddy.
		All of the CDTVs video ports are present, as well as parallel, mouse, and floppy drive ports.

	A brief history of the Amiga - The rise and fall of CDTV
		The CDTV was operated by a user-friendly infra-red remote control.
		The same year, the option of turning the CDTV on a full A500 was made available.
		As a result, CDTV failed to catch the public's imagination, partly because it was Â£3200 more expensive than an A500, and partly because the software available was disappointing.

		Amitrix Development is proud to introduce SCSI-TV, a SCSI controller for the Commodore CDTV and A570 CD-ROM drive for the Amiga 500.
		On the SCSI-TV for the CDTV, the drive mounts upside-down with the connector toward the rear of the SCSI-TV.
		As far as SCSI-TV on a CDTV is concerned, as it works fine with a 68030 Derringer, so it should work with the AdSpeed.

	TidBITS: Commodore CDTV
		CDTV is interesting because it's basically a wolf in sheep's clothing, or this case, a computer in CD's clothing.
		The deception is that inside CDTV is, as far as I can tell, most of a Commodore Amiga computer, much like the ultra-cool Video Toaster that has video people drooling in their keyboards.
		If you think about it, CDTV is trying for two markets, the video game market and the home computer market.

	[No title]
		Since the CDTV first appeared on the market in August 1991, there's been much confusion -- from the public, Amiga users, the magazines and Commodore's marketing team themselves -- over what the machine actually capable of, and which markets it is aimed at.
		We can just assume it only applies when the CDTV internal preferences are being used, as I've yet to see it in action when booting from floppy.
		What you've got is the CD hardware being under control of software when required, but with full manual override from the controls on the main box.

		The CDTV was one of the first major car-wrecks of computing that signalled the end of Commodore as we knew it.
		The CDTV was the brainchild of marketing consultants, who were drafted in to help Commodore gain the edge in the next generation computer war that was brewing.
		The CDTV was designed not as a computer, but as a kind of replacement for the VCR and CD player.

		The AMPlifier-Display project is intended for use with CDTV, too.

		The CDTV is essentially a high powered computer pinned back for game console use.
		The CDTV can easily be turned into the full computer it is. All the standard Amiga computer ports are already there, and items like Monitor, Mouse, Floppy Drive, and Keyboard were all just an extra purchase away.
		The CDTV, I suppose like all Amigas, had video capabilities matched only by high powered modern computers.
