Hi,
I would like to buy a used Dwin HD500.
I'm living in germany, so I need a power Input of 230V 50Hz.
The specification's on curt's side are: 100-130/200-250VAC 50/60Hz

Does anyboda know what I have to do if I want to use the HD500 here in germany.

regards
Markus

Hello,
is there really nobody who is familiar with the Dwin's?
Perhaps I have to go in more detail.
The specification's from Dwin say: 100-130/200-250VAC 50/60Hz
Does this mean
1) It's a universal powersupply inside and I can plug in the Dwin 500 in the 230V/50Hz outlet without modifications
2) There is a switch somewhere inside where I can choose either 110V/60Hz or 230V/50Hz.
After changing to 230V I have to replace the fuse
3) Dwin made to different powersupplies one for 110V/60Hz and one for 230V/50.
So I have to replace the powersupply or user an external transformer with the 110V powersupply.

I have used a Sony D50 for around 10 years. In january I moved to a JVC RS1. Main reason for moving to the JVC was the fannoise of the sony.
After living with the JVC now for around 6 moths I'm not totally happy with it.
That's the reason I would like to move back to a silent CRT.
The Dwins have never been sold in germany.

So please help me

regards
Markus

Heres a link to a PDF of the operators manual...

http://dwin.com/files/manual_hdp500.pdf

It appears the input voltage is preset at the factory. If it was user adjustable it would most likely say so in the manual.

You might have to use one of these...
