Guest ANDY101 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 My wife and I really like technology - we've invested an irresponsible amount of money into computers, tv, DVD, hi fi etc. So the question is; can you take all that stuff with you? What do you know? Cheers Andy & Bev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nelson Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Hi Andy.... you are right... is was an irresponsible amount of money coz I'm sorry to tell you that you may have real problems with your stuff down under Does the computer have a built in modem? If so, it is probably configured to B.T. standards and will not the suitable in Oz.. the DVD might be ok, it depends on what sort but the television is unlikely to be suitable. Other people will probably know a hell of a lot more than me but, anyhow, just think of all the techie shopping you can do when you get there :lol: . We are using a shipping company called John Mason (http://www.johnmason.com) based in Liverpool and, although we got several quotes, their service has been outstanding so far. They will be able to give you very accurate info, even if you don't end up using them. Hope this helps.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ANDY101 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Thanks for your response, Krista I have this image in my mind of the LARGE vaulted ceilinged room stuffed with speakers and plasma screen etc - its part of my enhanced quality of life plan for Oz. O well, I'll just have to hope for the best! Cheers Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ABCDiamond Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 If the TV will work is actually easy to check. For a long time I have said that some will work, and that some won't, but I recently realised that my TV, purchased here in QLD 3 years ago, is actually made in France, and has NO setting for Australia and it works perfectly. Therefore, if your TV has options to change the country settings, then I see no reason why it won't work. United Kingdom uses System I : Colour = PAL : Stereo = Nicam I Australia uses System B : Colour = PAL : Stereo = Zweiton B/G Germany uses System B : Colour = PAL : Stereo = Zweiton B/G and/or System G : Colour = PAL : Stereo = Zweiton B/G My current TV country settting is set for France, and it works here in QLD ? HiFi: will work DVD: will work, but Australia and UK are different region codes, so if yours are fixed region, then you may have problems with commercial DVD's set as Australia region. If you have a multi region DVD you should be OK. Video Player/Recorder: Very unlikely to work as a recorder. I haven't seen one able to yet, but newer models ?? I don't know. Again it comes down to being able to change the country setting. However, they will still play any recorded tapes that you have through any TV set, UK or Australian. Computer: again no real problems, but a modem change may be needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
