Query on power cable with IEC C13 and US 2-prong


Hi, I just received my CEC TL5 CD transport,  I noticed the power cord 

that come with is IEC C13 on one end and the other end is US  2-prong.

Shouldn't the power cable come with 3-prong as IEC C13 configuration is 3-wire (live, neutral and earth) ?

Read your owner's manual. If the list of "what's-in-the-box" states 3-prong power cord that means the unit is made for sale in the US and Canada. 

If the unit is double insulated (I doubt it) then there will be no continuity between the IEC receptacle's ground pin and the chassis. If there is (which I am sure) then you got the wrong power cord.
