Sharp LC-46D64U TV voltage... both 110V and 220V?

[ksufocus]

Question is will my Sharp LC-46D64U accept both 110 and 220V input?

The back of my TV has the sticker than mentions 110V for north american and below has 100-240 for others. The manual also says the same thing, but I called Sharp and the lady I spoke to on the phone said they didn't recommend it... not sure though.

Any advice would be great... Moving overseas and would like to not have to buy a voltage transformer...

How about video standard?

I'm not planning on receiving the "local" (foreign) signals thru cable/satelite... I would only be using it for streaming US TV over VPN, watching movies, playing video games.

I'm attaching a page from the manual... see near the bottom. It references both 120V and 110-240V...

You would be better showing the picture of any info on the back of the tv.
Also there may be more information or a jumper or wire link on the power supply board
with an alternative position for different voltages.

Hope your not going to brazil

Picture of TV attached...

Are you recommending that I open up the back of the TV to look at the power supply board?


Nope not Brazil... Expat to Norway

Yes, as you said the label is as confusing as the manual. There may be something specific on the power supply board you would have thought the help desk could have given a definite response .

Opened the back... here are a couple pictures of the power supply board. Looks like it's ok for 110-240V. Tried to google the board part number for specifications but all the sites I looked at didn't give anything I was looking for.

Id say the tick in the middle box is the clue. Sorry i dont have time now to check further
guess you searched for DC-2541-1A ?

Norway Eh - bit cooler than Texas? I have been a couple of times - last time was in Nov
last year on a hurtigruten coastal trip to try and see the "northern lights". Bit chilly and
jolly expensive - not that we spent much as all meals were included and we had a fairly
"dry" ten days. Didnt see a very good show of the lights so we may go again in January

Yeah I googled the DC... number. Mostly Ebay and other sites selling used boards with no real information other that the TV model number it's compatible with.

Yep leaving for Norway in August, I'll be there 2-3 years. Seeing the northern lights is definitely on my list of things to do. But I hear it's sometimes hit or miss... and yes crazy expensive!

The TV should be fine. The only thing that won't work will be something like the tuner; the HDMI and component ports should still work as they are completely universal. Also, it will probably work with PAL sources as most modern TVs support PAL and NTSC, regardless of the region they are made for.

have you got a foto of the psu?
it's worth checking what voltage the smoothing cap(s) are for a start.

they may have left parts out or used under-rated parts for the u.s. market.

btw, it probably wont be much use in norway unless you have a cable or sat reciever when you get there.
they use DVB and it's probably MP4 and HD.
if your tv can tune it, it may still need an MP4 cam module.

ksufocus,

were you able to verify whether or not the Sharp LC-46D64U TV works on 220V without a transformer?

Thank you.
