    Not really sure what you're asking here - could you tell us what device you want to use ?

    If it's a tv, you need to check if it's compatible with the PAL standard, I expect that most TVs here are dual standard, not sure whether the same applies to TVs supplied in the US market where the NTSC standard is used. If it's a video/dvd recorder the same issue could arise.

    Tell us more...............

    That is 50hz mains voltage, not 50hz video signal. I presume you have the 120v 60hz american model (xantech specs say "Also available in 230 VAC / 50 Hz."

    If this is the case, then you need to buy a transformer to up the voltage to 220-230v European spec. These are available in places like maplin.

    700W/750W step down.
    Manual says it consumes 120v@660w
    (Its's not going to be small)
