HKTS Subwoofer Wrong Voltage

[xpsm1210]

Hello everyone,

Am from Malaysia but now reside in Saudi Arabia and this is my 1st time to set-up my own home theater and my set-up is like this,

1- HKTS 20BQ - from Amazon
2- Onkyo NR609 7.2 - from Ebay
3- My Faithful Dell XPS Laptop
4- My LED tv.
5- Step Up / Down Transformer ( just bought it 1 week after got my HKTS )

Ok, I think I've made a big mistake because during unboxing day for my HKTS 20BQ, I've plugged the HKTS sub 110V into 220V socket, what supposed to be the glowing white LED on the subwoofer's top only light up for merely 5 sec before goes off and later my sub remain quiet. I didnt send my sub to any shop to check yet.

The question is,
1- Has anyone experience this?
2- Does this mean my sub cannot work anymore?
3- Did I just burn my sub or only the fuse is gone?

I'm so nervous about this and definitely I wish only the fuse is gone so I can get it change without much hassle (i cannot find any Harman Kardon dealer here thou.. )

Please tell me your verdict. Many thanks

Welcome

If that sub is a single voltage sub and didn't use the step down transformer, it is possible that you fried the amp in it. BUT, before anything, if you are able to check the fuse in that sub amp. Good possibility that is all that was damaged. If so, get the same rated fuse and be sure to use the step down transformer.
Let us know the outcome.

That sub has a rating for both voltages.
Input rating:
AC 100–120V, 50/60 Hz, 200W or
AC 220–240V, 50/60 Hz, 200W
It will have a switch 120v/220v on the back or does auto voltage sensing.
Edit: I looked in the owners manual and don't see a switch.
It's also possible they make two different units for the varying voltages of other countries.
