USA runs 110~115 AC and Europe varies a bit, but mostly 220~240 AC...
Most DVD recorders can handle both formats.
The thing you need to watch out for is the voltage that it uses to run on. Most equipment now uses a transformer that can handle world wide outlet voltages but some cant. For example, doesn't the US run 100 volts AC and Europe run between 220 to 240 Volts AC?

DVD recorder both PAL and NTSC?
Hello everyone!
I was wondering if anyone out there could help me. I live currently in the United States, and I was thinking about buying a DVD recorder before moving back to Europe. However, I am getting lost in all the specifications on the models available.
Can anyone recommend a good DVD recorder which is I can use both in the States and in Europe, both as a player and as a recorder (If I understand correctly several of the models available here can record in PAL from an NTSC tv, but will not be able to record once I get back to a PAL tv). Preferably also a player which plays data files (avi, mpeg, etc)
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions!
Best, Bryn
