moving from USA to UK, will it still work? I live in USA right now but need to move to UK for a few years, will I be able to use this reciever there without a step down transformer?

Assuming that you're flying, it probably doesn't make financial sense to lug/ship this thing over there. Especially if you're coming back in a few years.

Hello, in answer to your question, this is a two-way transformer, so can be used in the UK to give 115 Volts output for USA devices UP TO A MAXIMUM POWER OF 3000 WATTS, so should power most items okay here in the UK. However, you certainly will need to buy some type of adapter with a 3-pin UK plug on one side, into which you can plug the cable end of the transformer into, like the one in this web link: http://www.amazon.co.uk/CANADA-3-Pin-Visitor-Adaptor-Converter/dp/B000NPACOG Hope this helps, Regards

I got a couple additional ones on ebay. I would caution you: many of them come from England or China, and though the refurb job is fine, they will come with UK power adapters. You'll need to get a UK to US adapter if you're in the States. The receivers themselves usually seem to go for $20-$40 apiece. Also, any set of computer speakers will work. I got speakers at a Staples (Cyberacoustics) for about $25 with a little subwoofer, and it's a perfect pairing; no computer needed.I hope this helps.

No, not without additional conversion equipment. 120V 60Hz power is required. I would not recommend using a step down transformer. Better to buy equipment designed for the local electrical supply specification.

hey man, a few months ago a bought this unit, I live in south america and we also have 220 volt. but that is not a problem any more, you just have to get an electrical converter transformer in a electric shop, they are not expensive and the sound sistem works really good with it, even when there is a blackout or something the transformer shout down all system for protection of the equipment. so is very easy to get the system works in a 220 volt country.

All US models operate on 120v- you'd need to purchase a compatible receiver model from the ONKYO International website- as their models do operate on 220-240v. Any unauthorized modification of he receiver's power supply will directly void the manufacturer's warranty. Although it is not recommended by Onkyo to do so for performance standards; using a voltage converter to provide power to the receiver is an option- but can cause potential and permanent damage of the internal components of the receiver.

All you will need is a voltage converter plug for that country which I am sure amazon sells and it will not be a problem. I have a friend in England who uses a converter

Hi Dianna, According to my research the US uses 110v and the UK uses 240v. No the US version will not be suitable for the UK. Try finding a adaptor that will change your voltage to 110v.

I personally have not had the chance to take it back to Europe yet but I have taken back a lot of equipment such as my Numark 4trak turntables and other devices which have not had any issues regarding voltage differences that are found in European outlets versus American outlets. I cannot guarantee anything but I really don't think you will need a transformer to convert the power.

NO you will need to use a step down transformer to 120v however I think they may make a 220v charger however you will probably have to purchase it outside of the U.S.A.

I suggest you speak with the seller about this. The one I got was for US 110V outlets so you would need a converter. Maybe others sell the ones for UK but I do not know. This one is for US.

yes it will although you have to note that the voltage (presuming that you're traveling from US to UK) in UK are 220V. So be careful when using certain electronics.

Mine came with an adapter for plugging into other electrical outlets than the U.S. standards, so I am assuming it will be ok in UK. I have not tried it to verify though.

Voltage should be OK. You will need an adaptor to covert US type plug to UK and EU type.

The plug has USA prongs but is endorsed "accepts voltages 100V to 240V and outputs at 7.5v so I would have thought that it should work in the UK if you have a plug adapter, and should not need a transformer. I hope that helps. The batteries also last a very long time. (Sorry for the delay, I was away from home so did not have acces.)

Yes this will work for you. If you use this ac converter, VCT VTM-150UK - Deluxe 220V/240V Step Down Travel Voltage Converter To Use USA Products in UK

The AC input for US version of the TX-NR5010 is UL 110 volts only the EU version is 220 only. You have to order the model specific to your location. Here is the link to the EU PDF http://www.eu.onkyo.com/downloads/2/2/4/1/0/ONKYO_TX-NR5010_datasheet_EN.pdf
