How do you change power output A/V receiver?

Jul 21, 2005 9:46PM PDT

I recently moved from America to Australia and there is a different in voltage levels ie.110 in America while 240 in Australia, I own a Pioneer Receiver VSX-D912 which takes only 110 volts, is there any way to change it to 240? That doesn't lose quality or even an adaptor does this lose sound quality, Help greatly appreciated. Thanks

If you unit dosen't have a line voltage selection switch then you can get stepdown transformer to go from 240v to 120v. It will need to handel the wattage of you reciver.

on the back of your receiver that is labeled with 110 or 12o volt on one side and 240 volt on the other side if you have one then just flip it and plug it in and you should be good to go...question...do you need to change the cord to a different plug ending?
