I brought my Ouverture over from Hong Kong and it works perfectly with a step-up transformer. It should be fine with your BeoVision; however cathode ray TV's use a lot of power and you'll need a transformer with a high capacity to be safe. A 32" cathode ray TV uses 120 watts on average - up to 270 watts on high brightness - so you'll need a transformer that can handle at least 300 watts to be safe. Bear in mind that US A/C is 60 hz as opposed to 50 hz in the UK - not exactly sure how this affects electronics but just to let you know. Also, I'm sure you know but Freeview modules etc. don't work in the USA, so after you get here you'll need to subscribe to cable, satellite TV or buy a suitable antenna. Pack a couple of SCART-RCA adapters too.

You may want to check with B&O but I don't think this TV will work in the US because of the tuner.  Although the US recently converted to full digital broadcasting, everything is still a variation of NTSC including cable TV.  NTSC is not compatible with your TV.  I am not an expert on this and others may have more information.  I wanted to import a Beovision 6 and couldn't do it because of the tuner specification differences.  Also B&O North America could not service the TV.

Your UK/European PAL TV will not receive US NTSC signals at all, unless you do one of 2 things:

1. Have an NTSC tuner fitted instead of your PAL tuner - I'm not sure if B&O will even do this.

OR

2. Buy a PAL/NTSC MultiSystem VCR of any brand, and use the VCR's NTSC tuner to receive the NTSC signal from cable or airwaves; Then setup the MultiSystem VCR to convert the NTSC signal to PAL; Then pass that PAL signal to your PAL TV via the Composite Yellow RCA connector.  

Essentially, you are using the VCR's MultiSystem tuner to receive the NTSC signal and process it, and then you are feeding that signal (now PAL) directly to your CRT monitor, bypassing the Beovision's (now useless) PAL tuner.

BTW, you'll need at least a 600VA step-up transformer, if you want the system running cool.
