I have been using my Japanese 100V Onkyo player with no transformer and no problems. I did a fair amount of research about it and the consensus seemed to be there is no problem in doing so. Having said that, I’m very careful to protect the rest of my electronics, especially computers, against under and over voltage. I paid very little for this CD player so if it craps out it’s not the end of the world.
CD players sold in Japan can work in US with no problem?
I found Marantz CD players sold in Japan and US have a slightly different specs on power and frequency.
For Japan models, it says 100V~ and 50/60Hz.
For US models, it says 120V~ and 60Hz.
So, those sold in Japan can work in US without any problem? Or, vice versa?
I would think so, but just want to make sure whether the 20V difference would make any difference.
