In Reply to: buying here, using in europe posted by johnbullus on December 15, 2004 at 17:21:43:
and the two don't mix, whether you're talking monitors, VCRs, DVD players, whatever. Unless you have a playback device that does both, and those are usually expensive.About the only American A/V gear I would consider taking to Europe (and I actually did this in the '70s) would be speakers, possibly a preamp and power amp with a BIG stepdown transformer. Everything else should be sourced over there.
Follow Ups:
Actually, DVD players that convert NTSC to PAL & vice versa, and that also play PAL & NTSC directly, can easily be found for under $150 - some for under $100. Most of these are all-region, so you don't even need to hack them to make 'em code-free. I believe most of these players have SECAM capability.A few displays in North America, such as certain plasmas, FPs and DLPs can display PAL in native format. However, the thought of purchasing a plasma and having it shipped to Europe scares the heck out of me, not to mention the power issues. I would purchase the TV overseas.
Thank you for reply.
Ok, I drop the thought of having tv shipped there.
But it might be tempting to do it for home theater and/or nice audio system: front speakers, sub, amplifier, receiver... Any hints? Tips and tricks? Please share!
What country/city, that is...will you be in a major metro area?
Yes, a major Polish city, about 1 million people in the city and suburbs.
