An inverter typically generates a square wave or a sine wave at the same frequency as mains power in your area (50-60Hz). It has to use that frequency because that's what the transformer in the DVD player or TV was designed for. Higher frequencies driven directly into the transformer won't work. For example, if you drive a 20kHz square wave into the 50Hz transformer, very little power will be produced at the output of the transformer (not enough to run the device). The inductance required to run on 50Hz is too high of an impedance to the higher frequencies. If you want to use high frequencies to drive the transformer, you'd have to modulate them. This would be much more difficult to do.

1 - Buy a powerplate amp
2 - Build a 50Hz oscillator
3 - Use a transformer (mains) in reverse at the powerplate output to get your 50Hz 230V.

You realise that you are wasting probably 100watts or more to run a 5W device?
