Will a person in India be able to plug-and-use a US-made CD player, or are there problems w/ voltage?

ubergrobie

I need to send a CD player to a friend in India, and am wondering if there are potential problems with voltage?

Thanks! ;-)

Answer
It can not be used in India as in India all electric supply is of 220 Vol. You can do what Uma has told. Or simple thing you have to do it is in any electric shop Voltage converter will be available and you can get it for 110 Vol to 220 Vol and with this converter you can plug in and use. It is very cheap. I have DVD player, music system and other things purchased from US and I use it with the converter.

Also in US in places like New Jersey etc., 220 Vol CD player is also available and you can get it-

DVD region problem ?

GLADIATOR

i am living in India, i want to buy few national Geography DVDs from Amazon as it is not available in india. but it gives me warning that
(Your order contains at least one Region 1 (Canada and U.S.) encoded DVD. Region 1 DVDs might not play in DVD players sold in the country where this order is being shipped. Please also note that some Region 1 DVDs contain a Regional Coding Enhancement. Some of our international customers have had problems playing these enhanced discs on their âregion-freeâ DVD players )
what is this problem and will it run from my dvd player ?

Answer
All DVD's have a region code on them which will only allow certain DVD's to work in certain DVD players all over the world. India has a DVD region code of 5 so any DVD that is not a region 5 DVD will not play in your DVD player. I f you go to this website (I know, it's wikipedia) it does help!
