Power problem, CDJ wont turn on propperly as it is from the US and i live in Birmingham UK
I bought a pair of CDJ 800 mk2's from the US and i live in the UK, i blew both fuses stupidly plugging them in over here with only an adapter, ive replaced the fuses but am i going to be ok to run them on a standard step down converter or can this damage them? Is there any other way of using these american cdj's in the UK? Thankss

The step down adapter should work fine as long it supplies the voltage and any other ratings shown on the turntable power supply indication pannel. However the problem might already have happened. If the fuses were before the power entered the mains transformer of the unit, then if they were set to blow above the USA voltage then things could be OK. However if the the fuses were in the secondary output from the transformer then the mains will have caused possible damage to the transformer. Maybe even elsewhere.
Use your head pls, didn't you really not knew the powerdifference?
if you're lucky, which i think you ain't , it's a fuse, but i think your transformer is dead. And pioneer is annoying expensive when it comes to parts, my monitor abs front was more expensive then the whole unit:), amazing. Just scratch monitors, recapped with better stuf and removed the soft inside and but stiffer absorber stuf in it, which gives it a tighter bass, but those prices amazed me. That why i won't buy a thing from pioneer, even if the new turntable will be grate, which it ain't. But the mixer and given partquality are shamefully gr richard
