Help Sansui AU999 100v to 220v

[Tabelion66]

Hello,
I am new to the forum, I have a problem, I have a sansui au999 amplifier in 100v, there is also an international version with voltage selector, but I do not have a selector on my amp, what would be the assembly so that I can put it in 220v?
It seems to me that it is the same transformer

Hello. You did see the instructions on page 17/18 from the manual?
You can find the manual on hifiengine for example.

Which country are you in? Many countries that were using 220V 40-50 years ago now have switched to 230V or 240V.

Hi, welcome to AK.

if you got a JDM au-999 ,your tag as below, only can use 100v.

if you got the international version,the tag as below and the voltage selection is just behind the tag.

Welcome to AK

As mentioned above by Peter, yours is 100V only.
Your best and only solution is to buy a decent 230V to true 100V stepdown transformer, and NOT a 110~120V version as available everywhere.

Fortunately, we have a very decent manufacturer in the EU....ooooooppssss...... UK......

True stepdown to 100Vac thus.

Me and some buddies have got those, and it is good stuff.
A 750VA version would be good enough for a AU-999, but sometimes folks buy a bit larger version to eventually power more than one 100V unit.
Indeed, for a few bugs more you get a lot more.

Hi,

This is a query on Voltage selection. The unit is a Sansui AU 11000, and I am fortunate to have a friend in US who helped get this unit to India. Understand that I have to change the Voltage to a 220/240 volts which is the standard here and also replace a fuse with the apt reading. But I am unable to figure out 'how' though I see a selector switch which is currently set at 120 Volts. Please help.

H Shoaib,
Pull out the selector, turn the selector arrow to the correct voltage and insert back as shown in the red arrow below.

for 220v


for 240V

btw either 220v or 240v, you cannot have both. Get a Dim Bulb tester for 1st power up.
