Hey guys,
Maybe you can help,

My friend is going to the states tomorrow and i need to know whether to give him the cash to buy an mp3 player.

Only problem is the power supply.

Supposedly the label on the US ac adaptor reads :

"The label reads...

AC - DC ADAPTOR
Model: SW10-S050-10
Input: 100-240 V~
350 mA 50/60 HZ
Output: 5V - 2A

Then it has some polarity indicators and other symbols...
"

1. Will i need a big heavy transformer to use this over here.
2. Or will i just need the US adaptor plus a 'travel' type converter?

Ps supposedly the adaptor is current adaptive - i presume this is the 100-240V thing

Thanks a million

That will work here . We run 240v 60Hz , the yanks run 100v 50Hz .
