If it has the NTSC configuration, why not? But you can check up also from the shop where you got it.

as long as the voltage is 110/220V 60hz that should be fine.. remember 60hz and not 50hz.... also it should be NTSC or multisystem. plugs - you can always remove the ground (3rd prong).. if the 2 metal contacts are slanted you can cut the cord and replace it with a conventional plug which is available at your local hardware store.. no worries about the polarity its a 220/110V and therefore waveform is sinusoidal. lastly,, its better to buy from philippines than sending your aiwa.. cost of shipping and damage is not worth it..

I think maybe the plug problem and also the magnetic field which I am not sure wills cause a problem as some TVs are magnetised according to certain fields? But I dont think it will be that effect? Some countries are using those slanted plugs head.

Looks like I have a namesake above. lol. Anyways, as he (I?) said make sure it is NTSC and not PAL compliant. The PAL standard is prevalent in the European markets. They also tend to use "round" plugs instead of the flat blades. You can get a cheap adapter for that. However, I would not suggest removing the "ground" prong on a three-prong plug. It's there for a reason and given the electrical service instability in the country, the 3rd prong is invaluable in protecting your equipment against surges. You can always buy an adapter that fits between your TV's 3-pronger plug and a 2-pring outlet.

no problem with that. Aiwa CTV from middle east has the same voltage configuration and system as that in the Philippines. what you should worry though is you warranty claims. If your TV encounters a problem, some Aiwa Authorized service center will not recognize your warranty claims. plugs should never pose a problem. there are thousand of adaptors available in the philippines.

Yes, I think it will. The brand of your television set has nothing to do with viewing the channels as long as the channels are reset to the local ones.
