Sony AV Amplifier 'AC Outlet' problem

musicboy

Folks, I have been tearing my hair out at this one.

The link here shows the AC outlet socket on a similar amplifier to the one I have,

I need to know what kind of connection the top right is, so I can make or by a lead which I can plug my subwoofer in.

I went to the Sony Centre and they said it was a kettle lead one (which it obviously isn't)

Any help or guidance is gratefully received,

Marc.

Looks like a 2 pin Schuko socket to me, used in Germany etc.
You may have a plug that would fit it on your electric shaver/toothbrush if its a Philips.

Thanks, yeah I have found that an iPod world charger thingy fits it - basically a standard EU socket but only the hexagonal style fits in, like you have said,

Cheers me old.
