i would like to use it in Philippines but voltage there is 220v, would it still work without a transfomer?

There is a hidden jumper near the 4 large capacitors that also must be cut, otherwise the marked jumper arrangement for 115/230V should be rewired for 230V. I rewired mine and it works fine. Not cutting that hidden jumper will blow the circuit breaker. The unit can be ordered with 230V wiring. Maybe not in the US. Hope this helps.

here in Colombia operates at 120v, I do not think it advisable to use a transformer

Sort of. You need to open it up, add a jumper and move a jumper on the power board. Requires soldering and about an hour of time

Just buy a stepdown transformer at least 2000 watts in the Philippines, we are 60hz the freq is a non-issue.

This TV does not have an analog tuner so, no, it would not work in the Phillippines.

It uses a 120v here, so it would not work overseas unless you use a converter.

Yeh, no one uses DC for "wall voltage." But this PowerGen will take any wall-voltage between 100 volts [AC] and 240 volts [AC], at either 50 or 60 Hz, and that covers everything that's available all around the world. All you'll need is an adapter so you can plug this in when you get to the Philippines. The adapter shall not have any electrical function, it's only needed to adapt the physical shape of the pins. On one side, the adapter will have prongs that plug into a Filipino socket, and on the other side it will have sockets that accept the American plug (such as on the PowerGen). Since it's just a physical adapter and not an electrical adapter, it should be very inexpensive. I'm having trouble finding a good picture on the internet of what Filipino plugs and sockets look like. Hopefully, you know. But, there are "universal" adapters that seem to take every plug in the world and convert it to every socket in the world, so you don't need something specifically just for the Philippines. The adapters have lots of pins, blades, and holes, and are sure to convert anything you need. Again, the PowerGen will take any voltage, it's just a matter of getting the pins physically converted so you can plug it in. Peace in the Philippines. Shoot a spitball at China for me; thanks.

yes you can use US devices in Korea. keep in mind this is not a convertor, it's an adapter. It will not convert from 220v to 110v. Most laptops and mobile phones have dual voltage so you do not have to worry about that, but if you plug in the wrong device it will burn it

As long as you have the right pin adapter, voltage shouldn't be an issue. Remember that these come with the flat pin american model. If you have an adapter then it will work in asian countries without any change needed for voltage. But i would just buy a model that has appropriate pin for your needs.

Transformer is not needed because it is universal voltage compatible. But you will need an plug adaptor for whichever country you go to.

YES, positive. You will need a PLUG for the country you're planning to use it . . ,but no transformer is necessary . . .it accepts 110 and 220.But I'm a stranger and can only tell you what my owner's manual says. You can download and read for yourself . . .or call Bose directly and ask them. But repeatedly asking customers the same question is obviously not easing your mind. Sorry . . .

As far as I know, it is strictly a 110 and you would have to use a converter.

[Annyeon-Haseyo] I'm sorry this cellar was only designed for 110v; so if you take this to Korea, you will need to get a power converter.

Just like the phone chargers they accept 110/220 but depending on where you live you may need an adapter, plugs in the Philippines are just like the US except they are 220, but most US products either accept 110/220 or have a slide switch in the back or underneath to change the voltage from 110 to 220 or reverse, always check your appliance to make sure

This is 110/120volt so I don't think you can use in Korea. I know there are converters out there but I'm not sure whether would damage this.

I didn't bought this on Amazon. I bought it at my local home store. You will need a proper voltage converter for this to work in Korea (if you're buying from Amazon). Feeding a 110v machine with 220v may work but will burn it very fast. Soon after, the machine will start to smoke and stop working.

I do not know the answer to your question. I do know it works just fine in the Philippines.

I haven't been there, but from what I can tell by my research you can just plug in your device as long as you have devices with dual input. The plugs over there are the same as ours, I thing, but with 220 voltage. Read here: http://www.bohol.ph/article68.html

I lived oveseas too. You will need a converter or buy the version for your country. This will not work alone with 220 but a converter should fix that. It is a first class product.
