Electrical Socket Option for Imported Yamaha Receiver with 10amps Rating

[operosepraba]

Hi , i have bought a Yamaha AV receiver from USA which came with 10amp / 110v rating mentioned in the Power Cable. I have got a Step Down Transformer (16amps)already. So should i change the Wiring and Socket to 16amp to make it complete (only 6amp socket available in hall ) ?

TIA

Not necessary. The current ratings are max numbers.
You can run it off a 5A socket.

5A should suffice,
