Is this Toshiba All Multi Region Code Free Player designed for use in the United States with 120VAC ? Is a transformer/power converter required?

I had more than one of those and never needed a power converter, but some require an American outlet plug which most manufacturers enclose.

Hi Joohyun,This machine is designed for use in the US, so you will need a transformer.

It sounds like you will NOT need a transformer but just a plug adapter. The power supply of your item is capable of any input voltage from 100v to 230v, and 50 or 60Hz. The US uses 120v and 60Hz so it will work there. The only consideration now is if you have the right plug shape to plug into US wall sockets. I have moved between Canada/US [120v/60Hz] and Europe and Australia [230v/50Hz], so I have some experience with this. All of my electronics that are marked this way worked in these locations (TVs, laptops, most modern chargers).So you don't need an active transformer like this, you just need a simple physical plug adapter like this: Ceptics Grounded Universal Plug Adapter for US (Type B) - 3 Pack It sounds like you will NOT need a transformer but just a plug adapter.

well you may find you need more than 200 watt transformer. i got a 500 and run all my U.S. stuff on it. ie TV, laptop.. hard drives :)... ps stay away from the one with the usb port. its junk.....

I assume you meant that you have 120 Volts AC, 60 Hz power (same as the US). That is what you need for this product.

The Japanese version used 110V, the same as US, so you do not need a transformer.

I live in the UK and used a transformer for mine for a while and it worked great. Not wanting a big transformer in the living room floor I went to my local Roomba dealer and found a 220v power pack that worked great and been using ever since without problem. The power is stepped down before it plugs into the base station already so it just uses a different step down plug.

In my experience, you will need a voltage converter for almost everything. Definitely anything worth more than $15, as it's really easy to ruin electronics from power surges or incorrect voltage. For longer trips abroad, I try to buy small appliances like hairdryers there so that I don't have to worry about it.

NO! DC only. You would need a rectifier on the output of your transformer or just a DC power supply fed from your normal 120 VAC .

I've been looking into this as well since I'm moving to Europe. The UK, Canadian, Hong Kong, French etc. websites list it as "free voltage". Some US authorized Samsung dealers also list their models as voltage free. I would find it odd if only the US one is restricted to 120V. I just called Samsung to ask, but I don't think the support staff even knew what I was asking about. My PS4 and Xbox One are also both listed as 120V only, but actually include a free voltage PSU inside. I guess I'll give it a try when I get to Europe and see what happens. Let me know if you find any information. I've been looking into this as well since I'm moving to Europe. The UK, Canadian, Hong Kong, French etc. websites list it as "free voltage".

No, it is just US standards. You would need a minimum 1250 watt transformer to use it in Europe.

I would assume is USA 120V unless otherwise specified. Worth getting a transformer thought. i love this machine!

Toshiba players don't play PAL. So buying hd-dvd's from Europe would be a waste of money. I own 3 Toshiba players, A2, A30 and A35 from which none playes PAL. I email cust srv from Toshiba and they told me that the players don't have a PAL decoder onboard. Bummer!

I visited USA last summer and I brought some chergers etc with me from Europe that use 220V only. Power Bright VC300M voltage transformer did a perfect job. There is a 500W model as well if the power consumption of your equipment is higher.
