Dont Laugh....but...

16 replies

...I love my Beovision 3 and in August I move to the USA and don't want to leave it behind!!  After doing some research I think it will work OK as long as I get a step up transformer - is that correct? Anybody done this before?

 

Any advice appreciated.

 

Thanks

No laughter -we all love our B&O.

Which voltage supply & location are you moving from?

Move will be from the UK so 220-240v...

Hi figinusa

Where did you move from there are different tv standards in the US and Europe.In US they are using ntsc and most of Europe are using pal in different versions.

Don't forget that besides the voltage, the frequency of the AC voltage is different between Europe (50Hz) and US (60Hz).  A step down transformer would not take care of this.

Hi firqinusa,

firstly I want to wish you all the best in the USA. I can only advise u to sell the BeoVision 3 and get an USA Avant. Or changing the complete BeoVision 3 inside chassis (which is based on the Avant) for an USA Avant chassis (and tube?).

Try the North America forum also for advise. (USA uses set top boxes and mostly digital TV)

What other options do you have? (USA Beosystem 3 and a flat panel)

Regards, Robert (not wanting to sell my BeoVision3 now)
