Here we go again.  This question is forever coming up.  The only way it is 
going to go away is when we finally get an international TV standard.  It
is getting closer, but with High Definition TV.

Anyway, you will be able to play the tapes on the triple standard TV.
But you will NOT be able to record anything, except AFRTS (Armed Forces
Radio and Television Service).

You will also need a transformer to get the 220-240v down to 120v.
