The Wonder TV A6000 is of a similar concept to the CDTV. It was made by a Chinese firm called Regent Electronic Corporation and was designed as a multimedia delivery platform. Out of the box it is capable of playing VCD's and karaoke discs as it has a built in hardware MPEG decoder, as well as audio CD's, CD+Gs and CDTV CDs. An optional add-on for handling Photo-CD's was also available. Like the CDTV the REC Wonder TV also includes a infra-red wireless remote controller and can be booted directly from the internal CD-ROM. The Wonder TV uses standard PC 1.44MB disks and PC Keyboards, but it is not known whether it is capable of reading native Amiga disks.
