Will my JVC audio equipment designed for use in the U.S. work overseas?
The Home Audio equipment that JVC Americas Corporation markets in the United States is specifically designed to be used solely in the United States. Most overseas countries use different voltages and cycles than the United States. The standard voltage and cycles used in the United States are 110 Volts at 60 Hz. Many other countries use 220-240 volts at 50 Hz. While a voltage adapter can be employed to lower the voltage to 110 volts, there is nothing to convert the foreign cycles from 50 Hz to 60 Hz. This will cause the unit’s power supply to work harder and operate at a higher temperature than it was designed for. This could eventually lead to a decreased life span of the equipment. JVC Americas Corporation does not recommend using the unit under the above conditions any such use would void the unit’s original warranty.
