Using a Japanese CD player in Canada?

You'll need to use a transformer that will allow the 100v to run at 110v.

Tomek,

Just buy a small voltage transfomer for it.
I used to have two monoblocks with one transformer each and had no problems or sonic degradation.

Just buy one that doubles the power consumption of the CDP.

Brgds.

An unknown secret is that most premium electronics have different input taps on their power transformers to allow use in many countries with different voltage standards. This way, a manufacturer can use ONE STANDARD transformer, and change the input tap depending on where the unit is to be exported. Don't expect any info from the manufacturer, and you will have to change the internal fuse. More importantly, you WILL have to pay import duties, and a unit purchased outside of the USA may not be covered under the American distributors warrantee (this is what is meant by the term "Gray Market")
