You should have no problems with the actual connections to other components, you will need a step-down voltage transformer though as the input voltage is 100V on all the Onkyo products and the voltage in the UK is 240V. If you want I can check the exact connections on these decks by looking at the manuals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher666 Posted May 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 HiTheres nothing wrong with my JB940, its around 6 years old and is IMMACULATE! I love it, but it doesnt play Hi-MD. I use MD as replacement for CD's, I'll buy a CD album record it to MD and then put the CD in the attic. So i have a portable Hi-MD unit and want to be able to use simple burner but that only works in LP2. So i will have to use Hi-SP and want them to be playable through my home hi-fi setup. hence my need for a Hi-MD deck!You should have no problems with the actual connections to other components, you will need a step-down voltage transformer though as the input voltage is 100V on all the Onkyo products and the voltage in the UK is 240V.

belletristik Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 I bought the MD-105FX from Audiocubes and it works great. The shipping from Japan to the centre of Canada was quick too (less than a week). Also, if you don't live in Japan, they throw in the appropriate voltage converter for your country at no additional cost.Just wondered if anyone from the UK has ever purchased one of the Onkyo Hi-MD decks from Audiocubes?Im thinking of getting one, but am not sure on the voltage etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
