|
|
I just bought a G90 from ebay that I am shipping to Australia. What is the deal with this "110v" US or "240v" Australia. I have a VPH-1272QM that i bought in Australia but I thought that it could accept AC input from either 110v or 240v. Is the G90 not the same? Or was I wrong about the 1272? If I am wrong what is the solution/procedure to get this power issue fixed. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Note: I have not received the projector yet. reading other posts about shipping to Oz have dampened my spirits somewhat of my beautiful 9" beast actually getting here intact.

Put some dense foam on the Bottom of the projector ,Old cushions from a Chesterfield type of foam, That will keep the projectors internal Boards from rattling apart if there is a lot of trucking involved . Keep the projector decoupled from the Pallet if possible .
A Pallet and Plywood Crate will give you the best protection.

There was some discussion on AVS a while back about the 110/240 thing. I think what was decided was that early G90's state only 110, but later ones say both 110 and 240. I think what was also decided was that all the G90's could accept both.
Both the G90's I have here say 110-240 volts on them.

my G90 (110v) comes from the usa, I live in france and electricity is 220v, there is no compatibility problem, you just change the fuses for the amperage.

So the fuses that I have in the pj now are 250V 15A.....I need to get 250V 6.3A? Do I need to change both? Do the fuses have to be slow-blow or quick-block? Do they have to be ceramic.
I have emailed Curt his advice and while I am sure he knows his stuff, he didn't mention anything about changing fuses. He is of the opinion that the unit is autosensing? I have never been any good with electronics....more of a mechanical person and I just want to make sure I get everything right before I "flick the switch"
