hi&#xFF0C;my host box is from China, and it requires 220V,3A,60HZ, does this one work for my host box in USA&#xFF1F;

Yes. It definitely work. Be aware that this type of power device is quite heavy,15 lbs maybe. If you are no going to move it everyday, it is a good choice.

The voltage is not the biggest problem here. I've here cuz its a 60Hz model, if you use it in China (50Hz), it's not really efficient and doesnt give the best output.

I looked, it has a GFI plug, and it only says 120V.I suspect it would not work with 220.

Likely yes. The box itself runs on DC, with a transformer...worst case get a new power supply/cable and you'd be good to go. Out of the box I'm not sure. I don't have it here to look at at the moment, so I'm not sure if the transformer that comes with it is rated for 220.

it only works on 120V you may be able to contact VMI and get something that will make it work properly. here is their contact page: http://www.vminnovations.com/Contact/index.html

The user's manual lists only 120V 60Hz as acceptable power input, not 240V 50Hz, so there seems to be a fundamental power incompatibility. Also the EU broadcasts a different frame rate and uses PAL and SECAM standards (or has used in the past). See http://forums.pcworld.com/index.php?/topic/85590-hdtv-compatibility-europe-usa/ where the best advice seems to be sell / move / buy.

I'm actually in Singapore, so my plug is different. Australia uses the "canted" plug such as there: http://www.amazon.com/Tmvel-Universal-Australia-Travel-Adapter/dp/B00BSD8U8W .. but the idea is the same. .. You might just get some of these, for everything else that's "US", that can just plug in with a straight adapter. Many small chargers can accept the higher Australian voltages with no problem. This unit does comes with an adapter that has two round pins. Use this adapter WITH the Australian adapter! One little "gotcha" that I found, is that using the adapter with the three prongs will short out the unit and blow the fuse! By using the two pin adapter in the setup, you effectively bypass the third (ground) plug, and you're good to go! Modern US (flat screen) computer monitors and flat screen TVs work great with this unit. I have seen nothing the suggests that there is any after effect of the difference between the US "60hz" and the rest of the world's "50 hz". You should have no problems! Enjoy!

Absolutely John. I have used it in Germany, Australia and Japan without issues. (Don't forget to adjust the Hertz from 60 to 50 if need be for the TV. The power supply auto adjusts.)Greg

I just looked at the instruction pamphlet. USA 120V 60Hz input / EU,AU,IN,BR,CN 230V 50Hz input. Hope that helps

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 adaptorSorry. Cheers:)

China uses 220v and this adapter is ready for 110-220 so yes it works!we bought it to take it to europe with us and it worked flawlessly

Tale Gunner offered the best answer; the picture on the Amazon product page shows a 230v/50Hz machine (although US buyers receive 110v-130V/60Hz units), so you should take care to ensure you get the right version sent Down Under. Cheers!

I'm not a gamer, so I've never had or used a wii or gamecube, or any other gaming device, but if those gaming devices have and use regular RCA jacks and can take regular RCA cords like most traditional games and TV sets do, then this box should work just fine, cuz all it is is a bunch of RCA-style inputs and a couple RCA outputs, all using the traditional red-white, and yellow jacks. This (and other 8-in, two or one out boxes like this) has no power supply, and doesn't need one, so it's what's called a a totally "passive" device that only switches between channels and that's it, so there's no impedance issues to worry about and so ANY combination of devices that use all-RCA jacks & cords should work just fine. These boxes aren't made or even are available from anywhere in the USA (I checked), and only come from and can be gotten from China, but I've had good luck with three slightly varying different models made by three different Chinese companies and they all work just fine. Shipments took only a couple weeks for each one, which is pretty good from that distance. Once China owns all of the USA, which is their eventual goal, shipment should take even less time, cuz they'll probably have warehouses in America, but by then, you will have been forced to abandon English and learn to speak Chinese. It would be a good idea to start learning Chinese now which will make it easier for you and your kids in the slave-schools they will eventually set up here. At least you'll be able to get quality electronics gizmos faster.

I don't understand the question. I also live in the USA and my adapter works. I purchased it almost as soon as it came out.

Nicola, I own the unit in the US and its great. I looked at the power unit attached to the ring and its 120v rated for 50/60hz. My hunch is it should work IF you use a better grade of voltage converter (120--> 200v) to minimize any flicker. Cheers! Rick

Everything on the unit and the manual indicates it will only work with 120V ~60Hz. I cannot find any mention of 220V.

The one that I received from them was 120V / 60Hz only and had a US 3 prong plug. I called the company and the rep. told me that they don't make a 220V version.
