Besides converting voltage, does it work converting Herz too? I am thinking of a VCR/DVD player, going from 50 to 60 Hz or viceversa. Thanks.

NO. this is a transformer not an switching power supply unit. Most types of equipment (DVD included) are converting the AC supply and converting it to lower DC power supply, and these circuits can tolerate the frequency difference. IF you are using any type direct driven motor from AC, it is a different story, as the speed of the motor is many times controlled by the AC frequency.

Which is obvious. Two different voltages operates on different frequencies. So don't worry about it. It can handle.

the unit i received didn't even work. but to answer your question, most tv's nowadays are 100-240V so you probably won't need a converter. check the back of your tv.

Hey Nicholas, we had to go to best buy and buy a converter. It was a little pricey, but worth it. Hope this helps. :)

Yes it will work with a voltage converter or transformer. When I travel to Europe, I take a voltage converter, which is a good investment for expensive equipment. Here is a website http://www.world-import.com/transformers-type-D.htm. Prices start at $35 dollars USD.

120HZ is a must for 3D movie watching. If your DVD is not 3D, it probably would not go that fast. I wonder anyone had experience in 3D playing on this player?

It wont matter if you are using american standard 120 volt AC circuit. The hz (hertz) is the number of timer per second that the current alternates between positive and negative poles. Thus AC or alternating current. It is a nominal measurement that is established at the transformer outside your home. 50- 60 and 60 will work the same.

Hello Sebastian, This unit is for 110/115V with 60 Hz. You can use converter but please note that warranty is for US and Canada Based customers only.

Kyle Wilhelm, For this model, any brand of DVD/VCR player will work. You'll just need to use a composite (Yellow AV), component (RGB) or HDMI input (for upconverting players). Thanks for your interest in Samsung televisions. --Mr. S

Great questions I would like to know the same thing. Does this dvd player run direct on 220 or does it need a converter?

Hi ! (Yes three letter who doesn't cost much) No it works only for 120 v 60 hz, I move to Germany and it doesn't work without an external adaptor Sorry. Cheers:)

It is 110 v. You might be able to buy a different plug adapter to change it to 220v. I will check the hertz as soon as I get home, but I am pretty sure it is 50/60.

I know that my Pioneer DV-610 AV-K will play Australian dvds. I love the comedy tv series The Games, it makes me laugh till I'm in pain. The owner's manual for the 610 says that it will work on 240 volt 50 hertz electricity, which is what WikiAnswers says comes out of the wall in Australia (give or take a few volts, which isn't important). So my guess would be yes, all you need would be an adapter plug or power cord that plugs into your wall socket. Do you own a fire extinguisher? Just kidding. Mostly. But you want more than a guess. Go to 220-Electronics or World-Import (both dot com) for their email address(es). Either store will know for sure. Good luck.

Hi Matt, unfortunately I have not been able to use the converter because it is not compatible with my system.

Probably no, but I haven't tried. I say that because is only has coax input ans it is a digital only tuner. I suspect that your VCR puts out an analog signal. Look for a hybrid card, or one with RCA inputs.

Dear Sue, The Toshiba I own is in Germany and it needs a current of 110V. I don't know about Hertz, all I know is that I plugged it into a 220 outlet, and it started to smoke.Sorry for being of no help whatever,Viktoria R M

Hi! Thank you for your note. We get many questions like this from all over the world. These Nostalgia machines are all made for 120volts. You will need a voltage converter to run the macgine safely. We always recommend that you go to your local electronics store and find a convertor that will work best for your country. I wish we had them in 220. Everyone loves the machines! They are so clever and handy! Please let us know if we can help you further... Caren
