Oops I read the post "4.5" and in my head saw "41.25," the sound IF fequency of the American system. Assuming the set is still tuned so the PAL video IF frequency is 45.75 (same as American system), the PAL audio will be 40.25 (45.75 - 5.5). You will need IF response at 40.25 to be about the same as it currently is at 41.25.
