Please help with moving Question: Will my stereo work elsewhere?

Sorry, double post!

Issue has been resolved. B&O recommended a voltage converter from 110 to 220 at the airport or electronics store (they did not sell them).

If the sound is poor, they may need to do an internal conversion but that is probably not required. Thanks everyone.

The radio will work in Italy just fine. Slightly different FM range but not sufficient to cause major problems.

What about the frequency stepping? In the past I had a US car radio and the frequency steps were fixed to x,0 x,2 x,4 x,6 .... so it was not possible to tune the local station at 95,5MHz (in Germany).

The only difference between US and EU spec is the FM range covered. I have done this conversion and the radio works fine.

Quoted Before: European electrical systems are 220v

I don´t know about the rest of the old world but Sweden has changed to 230/400 V. It´s 15 years ago but people still say 220/380! 😭

Europe has standardised on 230v + or -. Could drop as low as 220 or be as high as 240 but this makes no difference to the equipment.
