350.0. "UK/US incompatible stereo system" by IAMOK::ROGGEVEEN (Carol Roggeveen) Tue Mar 17 1992 14:39

    I just returned from living in the UK.  While there, I bought a JVC
    mini-stereo.  When I bought it from Dixon's, I was assured it was
    easily convertible for use in the US.  Well as it turns out, it's not
    that easy.  Is anyone interested in buying a JVC CA-Mx1BK/LBK?  There
    are two components - one is the cd/amplifier and the other the tape
    deck/tuner.  The output is 30 watts per channel for the main and 20
    watts per channel for the subwoofer.  
    
    It's a great unit - cpact but it sounds great.  You can probably see a 
    similar system at Dixon's.  I bought mine a year ago for 525#.  I'm just 
    looking to get back 325# or so.  
    
    I'll be in the UK for part of this week and next and will have
    the unit with me.  If you're interested send mail to me at 
    iamok::roggeveen.
    
    Thanks,
    Carol

Just as a matter of interest....

What were you told about it being easy to convert to US?

And why wasn't it as easy as you were told?
