For a simple voltage converter, this item is pretty expensive. The included firewire cable probably runs the price up some. I didn’t need the cable and I would guess that a lot of people don’t. With a little research, you can find alternatives to this product that will probably work just fine but I was not willing to take a chance on damaging my converter.

This particular AC adaptor power supply WILL do the job for which it was designed…
However, any of a number of other AC adaptors will also suffice so long as they have the correct size connector with the proper polarity.
On the bottom of the Canopus ADVC110 Converter cover, molded into its plastic, is information that says the DC input can be anywhere from 5 VDC up to 30 VDC. I ran tests on my own personal Canopus ADVC110 and found that, in fact, a 15 VDC @ 350 mA AC adaptor powers this unit just fine.
See my review for the Canopus ADVC110 for a more complete description of what works if you are powering this product externally.

I purchased the Canopus 78010138200 ADVC-PSU5V Power Supply to use with my Canopus 77010150100. I purchased both at the same time.
I wasn’t sure I would need it, but I bought it just in case I did. That way I wouldn’t have to wait to receive the power supply if I did, and could get right to work converting VHS tapes to DVD.
But, I quickly learned after hooking up the Canopus 77010150100 to my computer, I wasn’t going to need the power supply to run the converter.
