What is the power rating of the Samsung

[Jeff]

I need to use a step down converter with a Sunsung BD1000, I have a 100VA one, is that enough?

Thanks,

Jeff

I don't know the specific rating for the Sammy, but 100W is easily adequate. The Sony BDP-S1 is rated at 35W.

Just bear in mind that if you overload it it will burn out and probably damage the player.

45w so 100w should be fine.

Thanks.

They use MUCH less power than the Tosh A1 etc so 100w should be fine. I think I clocked it in the 30s.

Mine states 51W on the back.

Please could someone recommend where to buy a stepdown transformer from to use with the Samsung from Movietyme and as cheap as possible.

Thanks

Heres where many of us have bought ours.

If you would prefer something less industrial, try these:

The Tacima transformers use toroidal windings which are less prone to hum. They were informally recommended to me by Russ Andrews.

Those BD players seem to have low power ratings

My HD-XA1 says 90W on the back, and since I use a PS3, my BD player is 380W lol

[Nic Rhodes]

The Tosh say 90w and peaks at that but routinely runs at mid 50s during operation.

So it would seem that Blu-Ray is more environmentally friendly than HD-DVD (sic). It's a wonder that the BDA marketing guys haven't picked up on that one!
