will my sharp hd LCD work in switzerland


will my sharp hd LCD work in switzerland?
Manual says AC1 20V 60hz (for north america) and AC 110-240 V, 50]/60 hz (for others). It comes with the PAL color system used in switzerland, but I am unable to tell if the power rating will be ok. Any help, i would be grateful.

The Swiss AC outlets are a different physical format than that used in the US. Their power is 250 V AC at 50 Hz. Adapters exist for these issues. Your tuner will not be compatible with that needed in Switzerland for analog reception: PAL in the German zone or SECAM L in the French zone versus NTSC in the US. Your digital tuner will not be compatible with that needed in Switzerland when they convert to digital in 2009: DVB-T versus ATSC in the US. The bottom line is that you will be better off leaving your Sharp in the US.
