The reason I’m asking is I’m wondering if I can buy AV receiver from the USA and use it in the UK?

Hi
Yes, you could buy an AV receiver in the US and use it in the UK – and I assume the main reason for wanting to do so is that they are cheaper compared to the pound value over here (I’m in the UK). However, there are a few reasons why I probably wouldn’t, so consider these before you buy.
So, there are a few things that come to mind. In theory, you will be able to run a US AV receiver without any problems. However, be sure that it really is going to be worth your while before you try it.
Just my opinion.
