Assuming the voltages are the same, the transformer will heat up, there will be more hum in the circuits, and depending upon the model the platter drive motor may run at the wrong speed.
Most RCA made models used a 120V 60Hz AC synchronous motor, and that has to have 60Hz to run at the correct speed (you might be able to run it on 50Hz if you change the motor pulley to the correct size to compensate for it). I have a Sears Sanyo with a direct drive motor....I have not checked if it is synchronous or a DC servo, but if it is a DC servo it should not be bothered by line frequency. Your best bet for using a NTSC player in Europe is probably to get an American market 12V DC to 120V AC 150W+ power inverter (sold to allow home appliances to be used in cars and campers), a high current (7-20A) 12V DC supply that runs off your local mains power, and a multi-standard or NTSC TV. Connect the 12V supply to your wall outlet, the inverter to the 12V supply, and the CED player to the inverter.

I was asking about LaserDisc players. To be more specific: "Pioneer"/"M.C.A."-PR7820 and "Pioneer" V.P.-1000.
If we're talking about C.E.D. players, "R.C.A." made 2 models that are working at 50/60 Hertz.

Telecolor-
I do not know whether early Laser Disc players used the 60 Hz for any of the circuit functions, but I agree with Tom that their power transformers were probably designed for 60 Hz and might have problems with 50 Hertz power. If I can find it, I will look at my VP-1000 service manual and see if it has any information to help answer your question.

That will be great!
 If the transformer will heat up a little bit (no to more), will be no problem. How much will be an 12-120 Volt 150 Watts inverter?

Depending on where you shop an inverter of that rating will cost probably $15 to $45.

If you do buy a power supply and an inverter, you should buy a "pure sine wave" inverter, and get one that has a higher power rating than the Laser Disc player. Here is one example, for USD $80:

I got me 5 more discs... from abroad: one from Germany, 4 from U.K. Is still hard to find discs around here. I will buy some few more from the person from which I bought the N.T.S.C. player... but he dosen't have to many titles I'm intrested in.
Anyway, from U.K. (somebody bought me the discs... the postal service prcie would have had killed me) I bought my oldest N.T.S.C. disc (1982 "Saturday night fever") and my newest P.A.L. disc (1995-1996 "Toy story").
