Is the Nsz-gs7 multivoltage.

Hi guys

I want to import an nsz-gs7 into australia through amazon and a shipping agent.

I could not tell from the teardown if the power supply is compatible with 240 volts.
I would rather not use a stepdown transformer.

Also does the web browser work with hulu.com as I hear they block some devices such as the boxee box.

My primary reason for buying a google tv box is to view UK content in Australia.
I already subscribe to unblock-us redirection service.

I can view the sites i want to use on computer and ps3 but would like the sony device as my wife would prefer something easy for her to use.

Thank you.

Officially it seems to support only 110 volts, but looks like it works fine with 220.

Thanks for the reply.

I would be surprised if it wasnt, considering that it is released in the uk as well.

Hopefully someone involved in the teardown can chime in.
Maybe even a photo of the voltage rating on the sticker from the device.

What do you mean with "looks like"? Did you try it with 240 Volts in Europe?

I ordered a US version (cause i don't want to wait that long) and would like to know if i need a 240V --> 120V transformer.

Can anyone confirm that the NSZ-GS7 is multi Voltage capable?

Cheers, Blip

I ordered one in the US - it will take 2 or 3 weeks to arrive in europe. I'm curious about your confirmation! *fingers_crossed*
