As the title says what type of voltage convertor am i going to need to power the player. Is a 240v to 110v Step-down Transformer (100W) good enough or do i need a 200 or 300w :lease:

100w is fine on my unit. Average used by the A1 is 47w with peak around 75w.

I am sure I read somewhere that although the rating plate doesn't say 240V the player is 100v~240v, 50 ~ 60 Hz.
The reason being that the USA regulations are such that they aren't allowed to quote off shore voltages.
Don't take my word for it. Do your own reseach.
I have gone for this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=9724303658&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1

Who's going to be the first brave soul to try 240V without using a step-down?:eek: :) Is it worth the risk for the sake of £15? Btw, I bought the same model as Ryan. :smashin:

hi steve
the back of my xa1 just says 120v and the handbook states 90w/120v. i am not brave enough to try 240v!
