Can I use UK TV and VCD/DVD in Belgium? They work for playback of things, but I can't receive sound. Why not

Can I use UK TV and VCD/DVD in Belgium? They work for playback of things, but I can't receive sound. Why not?
Recently moved to Belgium, took all my stuff with me, and I'm setting up a UK VCR on a Belgian TV and while the picture is perfect, I don't seem to be able to get any sound either directly, or through recorded playback of Belgian TV. Is there some problem with compatibility? Also, when the Belgian TV gives up the ghost (it's already a bit dodgy) will I be able to just use my UK TV in its place?

A friend of mine took a Dutch TV back to the UK and also had problems with the sound. I think it is a standard problem, but I am not technical enough to know why. Try to ask a TV shop for the reason, or ring the manufacturers of your TV

We took our TV/DVD player and changed the plugs. We can watch it perfectly over here. The VCR we can't because we lost the manual and can't tune it in. The one thing that definitly turns out to be useless though is my lovely digital radio!!! They have got no digital radio stations over here :-(

normally, if you get a visa for belgium (or any other european country in the shengen zone) you can travel freely within the shengen zone. since italy is part of the shengen zone, you shouldn't have any trouble but if you want to make shure, contact your embassy

you will need an adapter, avalible from radioshack, if i am not mistaken, you will also need a voltage converter, but they can tell you for sure. be certain to take your laptop and power cord with you to radioshack so they can get you exactly what you need.

Just take a voltage convertor (110v - 220) with you, that's what i think you might need.

the sharper image I believe sells adapters that you can use that will convert the electrical current. If not sharper image, brookstone. You may even be able to find them at an airport, not sure if your airport as mega shopping.

Yes you can work anywhere in the world with your physical therapy degree, but all you need to do, is to take their licensing test, and to learn the language of that country or area.
