and the video format is NTSC in the US and PAL in france.

No it isn't. It is SECAM in France. Your TV manual will tell you whether your TV set is compatible or not (modern TVs should be). It is pointless to recommend anything to you without knowing the model numbers. Almost all Hifi components have been multistandard for years so I doubt you can't use them. Your manuals will tell, not random users here.


yeah i know... but for the console market it's a pal region.... even tv's from the 80's were pal/secam at least where i'm from (next to germany) since there it is pal... so being over technical in that case was just complicating the issue....

my issue is not with my system.... i know what i have... my issue is or was if i can't keep everything then the video format could become an issue... if TVs in france (that i don't have yet, so no model number) have multiformat standard.... usually if sony or samsung or other of the likes do it on their 1000 bucks model it is usually safe to assume they do it on higher range models.... hence why i asked if most main brand are now multi format or not.... 

my main issue was power input compatibility.... and while a lot of stuff in europe are multiformat for electric input... it is not in the US... 110V @ 60Hz only is still widely dominating on bigger electric appliances beside computers or small electronic
