Hi,

I just fitted a new belt to one of two GP-E's and noticed these projectors both have different voltages set! :-o One has 220V and the other 240V. What is best for the UK please and how have I got away with the wrong(?) voltage on one of these projectors without realising it?

Many thanks

Is there any problem with slightly different voltage setting? I don't think so.

In fact, many people (mostly when voltage supply is not stable) tend to set the voltage a bit higher (i.e 240v from the original 220v supply) so when there is changing of voltage, it will not harm the equipments.

My 2 cents though,
