bluecrab Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Does anyone know if any Sony MDS JA333ES decks were made for the US/CAN market with 120v?User Guide lists this voltage as a possibility, but I would like to know if any such machines ever existed.I'm also wondering if using a U.S. voltage converter (230 > 120) on the European-model MDS JA333ES might cause any problems? Thanks for any help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDX-400 Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Yes I believe they were available in the US, but they were quite rare. I'm almost certain the deck was never marketed in Canada (though a US one would obviously work fine in Canada).The voltage converter would work, just be sure it's of the correct amperage handling for the deck. Note that it might introduce some electrical noise to the AC so it might be a less than optimal way of doing things for an ES-level deck. Of course the power filtering in the ES deck will be very good anyway, but introducing AC noise is never a good idea. You could always try to obtain the 120V parts for the machine and swap them out, however being an ES deck I don't think it is going to be cheap.
