That should work. Although I would probably enclose it to prevent accidentally touching the 240/110V. From: M100 on behalf of James Zeun Reply-To: Date: Sunday, February 16, 2020 at 1:03 AM To: Subject: Re: [M100] Using a US DVI unit in the UK > I know little about power supplies, but

It's the first time I've use a device needing a different voltage, I'm just looking online, from the looks of it I need a step down transformer. Just looking to see if I can find something that might go inside the DVI. On Sat, 15 Feb 2020 at 23:56, James Zeun wrote: > Yeah after scrolling down

Hey guys I've just to receipt of my very own disk video interface and i can't wait to try it out. However I'd like to ask for some advice. Does the DVI need a US to UK adapter or will it operate with 240v? Reading the service manual it lists 120v, 220v and 240v as operating voltages on page 1-4.
