Hi All,
I have a 50 inch Toshiba Regza TV bought last year in Japan. I would like to know what should be the spec of transformer to make my TV work in Netherlands? I asked the retailer here and he said this TV wont work outside Japan. I don't think that is true. We plan to use this TV only for online video streaming (Netflix/Hulu/Laptop). I do understand due to the NTSC/PAL difference, I won't be able to watch cable TV - this is OK with me. The back of my TV has the following numbers:
100V ~
57W
50/60HZ
22V
50kWH
Unfortunately I can't understand Japanese so don't quite know what they all stand for. Some number are recognizable like 100V is for voltage. But does "~" mean that it can also accept 230? Looks like hertz compatibility should not be a problem. Based on the above specs, what should be the spec sheet for my transformer. Also, will I need a separate one for my AVR (also bought in Japan) or do transformers have multiple inputs? An ebay product listing would be helpful.
My other (not preferred) option is to sell TV here. But that would be at a significant mark down. Used 50 inch TV's sell for around JPY 50K, I bought it for 110K!
Thanks for the time!
Cheers.
