BOSE v20 Voltage help?

[Aussiegal]

Hi can someone help me I am currently living in the USA and would like to purchase a BOSE V20 surround sound system and would like to know if this will work when I return to Australia?

I would think that Voltage would be the only problem I would have as USA is 110volts and Australia is 240volts.

Can some one who owns one let me know if it mentions on the unit or box if it supports 240volts?

Also if anyone can think of any other problems??

I can help with that. I purchased a USA model Bose V20 from ebay and it came with a transformer which converts 110v to 240v. You have to buy the transformer separately otherwise is all works fine. Cheers

Agreed on the adapter/transformer. Be very careful when purchasing an adapter/transformer. Things to be aware of obviously voltage, check the current/amp output (too much or too little could damage electronics), and also cycles or Megahertz. I think the US uses 60-cycle and Europe uses 50 cycle. This may not be as important as the voltage and amperage. Hope this helps.

Hi There
How did you go with finding a 240 Volt transformer for your US purchased Bose Lifestyle system?
I am looking to purchase a US system myself and was interested to see how you went. I saw that there was a dual voltage power supply from Bose.
Did you buy a V20/V30 or a Lifestyle 25/35/38/48 system?

PS if you have any thoughts i would be interested in hearing about your experiences [e-mail]
