it depends on the build quality of the transformer, im using a 300w step down so far no humming sound, it does gets warm after a long period of using 5-6 hours maybe? bought mine from some local uncle electrical shop (RM165)

if u buy a good 1 it wont buzz but bulky yes.. still okla.. nt very big..

ok...thanks for the info.
Bulky is one of my biggest concern as my tv console has very limited space.

Anyone know where can get at good price?

bought my stepdown transformer 500 watt at local (penang) hardware shop for RM 164.00.

brand EKK, made in malaysia, no noise at all, warm little bit but not as hot as the xbox one power supply.
dimension 18 cm x 15 cm x 8 cm.

hai, I have xbox one. And have a power transformer about 2000w. Pri-240, sec-110. Can I use that power transformer with xb1 ?

2000 watt? thats overkill...its way more than enough.


any of you using optical out for audio?...some how using optical out,
i can only get audio when set it to 'stereo uncompressed'...if set
to dts or dolby, got no sound...

Ohh okay. So I need another transformer ? I'm from Johor. Where can I get the best step down here ?

no, you don't need another transformer...2000 watt is good.

Are you sure ? It will not harm my xbox one ?

Xbox only need 200-300watt, 2000watt is overkill. You're not running 10 Xboxes at a time don't you?

Ohh I see. thanks in advice. But erm I dont know where to find step down here.

You can buy step down from Ace hardware...500w for rm165...thats what am using and it works fine...!!!!

Are Ace Hardware can buy online ? Because at Johor, there are no Ace Hardware store. Mind helping me ?

your receiver (tv or amplifier) support DTS or Dolby? also, Dolby 5.1 and Dolby Ex (7.1) is different, same case for DTS.

can just use your 2000w stepdown transformer, thats the max power rated, not your actual usage. if you still want to buy, just look for electronic shop. Danga Bay mall shop might have it

Actually I buy a wrong thing. Its not a step down. It is a phase of transformer. So I want to search a new one. And thanks btw. Hope I will found better one.

my receiver does support dolby 5.1 and dts as tested with ps3 blu-ray movie and games that have dolby( metal gear solid 4).

i do know that xbox one does not support surround via optical at launch(surround via hdmi only) but i thought its already patched?

seems like it's not yet patched for dolby. but according to MS it still can output DTS through optical.

another way to get dolby is if your tv support optical out. then you can connect the optical cable from tv to receiver.

im using optical out for audio, connect to my pc creative x-fi optical in. still only get sound when set to stereo, no sound from DTS.

I choose this setup because im using a 5.1 system that doesn't have optical in >.>

my bad...i found out my cheap(panasonic) HT actually does not support DTS through optical in, it only support Dolby Digital surround.
