All other elec. products work fine as they have the same 240v as us. You will need to change the plugs and this would have to be done buy a electrician in oz as it could affect your insurance

TVs that don't work (they lose the sound, not the picture) require an Aussie sound chip to be installed and that costs about $100.
We took our Philips TV and by selecting "Western Europe" from the menu selection on the TV everything worked fine. Philips, in the UK, told us it wouldn't work and that we'd have to take it to a Philips agent in Oz. Make of that what you will.

The picture will be upside down, but a simple swap on the connections will fix that.

most other things will work fine ...another idea is to get a 4-6 extension here in the uk and plug all you tv video dvd into that and then just change the put on that or use a travel adaptor ......not my idea these have been mentioned on here before
