| 1 | Toshiba dvr620 is a video tape to DVD recorder. what I want to know is whether the power converter from for US devices 110 volt 115 volt AC 1.35 amps compatible with this recorder which has a specification of 120 volts and 30 Watts which to me means it has a rating of 4 amps so is the 1.3 amps going to work with the 4 amps? olack - 2020-11-25 15:13:00 |

| 3 | I doubt it. If it does run you may also want to check whether it will be any use. If it originates from the US it is likely NTSC which won't work on a PAL TV which is probably what you've got here. floydbloke - 2020-11-25 17:11:00 |
| 4 | A device that is wanting to draw 4 amps from a power supply that can only supply 1.3 Amps.. not going to work. pheonix - 2020-11-25 17:38:00 |
| 5 | Given that Watts = volts by amps you should be fine. 30 watts at 115 volt is only 0.260 amps supernova2 - 2020-11-25 22:01:00 |

| 7 | I should have thought to have looked at the formula thanks very much. Problem solved. olack - 2020-11-26 07:11:00 |
| 8 | What odd formula did you use to come up with 4 amps in the first place. skull - 2020-11-26 07:18:00 |

Power in watts = volts x amps Thats in very simple terms, disregarding rms, power factor etc. ronaldo8 - 2020-11-29 00:38:00 |
