Hi
Here is my setup.
Amp: Unico Teatro 8-channel amp
DVD: Arcam FMJ DV27
Projector: Sony HS-10
All of the above works on 220v. I would love to buy an outlaw 950 provided they make gear for the 220v/230v folks

Are we talking about 230v/50Hz (European) or 220V/60Hz? (I have to think that we're talking 230V/50Hz here, as I can't imagine someone producing a 220V/60Hz DVD player, so presumably you are overseas?) I know that some Outlaw gear has been manufactured at 230V/50Hz for distribution in Europe (handled by Soundcenter.fi ). The 950 was going to get the 230V/50Hz treatment, but I haven't heard if that has happened yet. I think that the Model 200 may be capable of either 120V/60Hz or 230V/50Hz (see this picture -- also apparently true of the IR1000 beta units ).

Hi,

Only 1 wire has to be changed. It's connected to the primary winding of the transformer. The transformer has a 110V and a 230V lead. Just disconnect the 110V wire, and connect it to the 230V wire. There is a wire bridge on the pcb which has to be changed.
Did my 950 about 5 months ago.

Regards,

Reinier.

I am moving overseas, to India. I understand it is 220v 50hz in India while it's 110v/60hz here right?

Could you please give a detailed instruction on how to swith from 110volts to 220 volts.
Thanks

I would give Outlaw a call and ask them about an overseas version or modifying a 110V/60Hz 950. From what R.Bauer says, it sounds like it's reasonably feasible, at least.

Fellow Outlaws

We've seen the comments about converting the 950 for use with 230 volt current, and we would like to make a firm statement that we do not recommend or approve that, or any other modification to the internal circuitry of the Model 950 by the end user or anyone other than an authorized service facility.

In addition to voiding the warranty, any changes to the circuit boards could create the potential for safety issues leading to possible injury or death. IN addition, changes to the circuit will also void the FCC Type B authorization, creating the possibility of increased interference with, or from, external devices.

Beyond those obvious warnings, changes to operate the 950 on a different voltage do not change other issues required for international operation such as tuner spacing increments and video standards.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! Do not attempt to make any changes to Model 950's internal circuits. We don't want any "shocking" results!

Since the IR1000 is mentioned again, what is the status on it? any official news?

thanks.

I feel bad outlaw doesn't cater to this clientele.
Many audiophiles would like ther versatality of 220v and many audiophiles reside outside the US

I guess the only option is to pick up a Lexicon MC 1 or a B&K 30 for $1500

You can always use an external step down transformer when overseas.
