    then set DC output to 9V.

    do a google search for 9V 500mA universal power adapter; i'm not sure what jack exactly since i don't own a vci-100, but them universal adapters usually come with the must common jacks used in industry. hope that helps.

    p.s. vci-100 general info can be found here: http://www.vestax.com/v/products/det...33&parent_id=8 under specs, just in case you were wondering where i pulled 9V 500mA from.

    also, the linked power supply mentioned in my previous post has the capability of manually reversing polarity; if you do purchase that one, verify that ground is the outer conductor and 9V is the inner using a multimeter before connecting to your controller, otherwise BOOM!

    Do you think guys is problem if I use 9V 1A power supply, because I can not found 500mA?

    Yeah, that's probably a bad idea, doubling amperage is never good...

    Other ideas, because I ask some technical staff and they say that is no problem if the amperage is more then 500mA.They say the problem is if the amperage is less then 500mA , cause adapter will burn ...I`m not sure about this and I ask you guys ...

    I'm not like totally sure, I'm not electrician, but in general, putting in the past when I've put more current through something than required, it ended up bad. I'm not totally sure about the VCI though. I'm basing mine of of issues I've had with car stereo and some small electronics assembly.

    Using a higher RATED power supply is no problem, it will output what the unit will ask of it. Like said above, the problem lies in using an under rated ps, then it will overheat and BOOM the ps. The reason companies supply the minimum rated ps is that amperage costs, and the smaller the cheaper.

    In short, if your 1A has the right voltage and polarity, enjoy.

    Thanks phil. Like I said, I've had issues using the wrong thing, glad you could clear this up.
