Re: Using American TVs in Europe



One thing you may have to do also if you use an American TV in
Europe.You will probably need to use a transformer to convert 60 cycle
110-125V current to one that uses 50 cycle 220 volt current.
Do NOT attempt to plug in an unconverted TV into a European power
receptacle.When my parents were stationed overseas back in the late
1960's they learned this the hard way.It burned the TV up and they had
to replace the power supply transformer inside the TV.Expensive repair.
I don't know what country you will attempt to use this in,but check the
type of current and power utilization the country uses and convert
accordingly.
