I see no reason why the difference in power line frequencies would cause
any problems, and I have certainly taken optical videodisc players to
Europe.  Television has not been synchronized to the power line since
the advent of NTSC color in 1953.  In fact, they don't even operate at
60Hz, which is why when you seen hum on the screen, it scrolls up.

However, the standards issue is a definite problem.
