CDTV Voltage

[dwight miller]

I think I know the answer to this - BUT - I have to ask.

The power feeding the CDTV can be 100 - 240vac according to the sticker on the unit. My question is this. Do I have to change an internal jumper or switch for North America Verses Europe's Power or is it just the cable and the unit adjusts?

The reason being I found and purchased a complete unit from Germany and it was stated I'd need a power converter - again I don't think so - but then again I don't know for sure.

Thanks!

According to this: http://www.cdtv.org.uk/1295.html#power
you can plug it anywhere... But you'd be better off if you get an answer from an owner...

For start: plugging in a 220/230V device in a 127/110V mains outlet will not break the device.

It may malfunction, refuse to turn on or work partially. But never break.

Try it and see what happen. I promise you that you'll not destroy your Amiga.

And power switchers that are labelled as 100~240V normally means they are auto-feeding: no matter what is the voltage on the mains, internally it grabs what it needs to output what it most.
