Re: Not 117V

Japanese equipment is 60 Hz as US is, but the voltage is only 100V, not 117V as US is. Step-down transformers are available for as little as $20-30 to allow Japanese equipment to be played in the US. In many cases, the Japanese equipment will function on the higher voltage, but it is certainly wiser to run it on the voltage it was designed for.
