US Department Of State Post Report

Cambodian TV uses the PAL system. U.S.-made televisions and VCRs do not receive Cambodian broadcast signals. You must have a locally purchased TV/VCR, or a multi-system TV/VCR. Nevertheless, some families bring their U.S.-made TVs and VCRs in order to watch video movie tapes. Televisions, VCRs and DVD players can be purchased locally at rates comparable to those in the U.S. (U.S. brands are generally not available.) Prices are less expensive at local markets but quality cannot be guaranteed. Most electronic equipment is imported from Singapore or Bangkok.
