Sorry Eric, the air crew hasn't heard anything, as far as they know everything is still normal.

If you Google a bit, you will find a fair number of sites selling Step Down converters for use overseas. Some also seem to sell regionless DVD players.

I didn't want to post any example names because I have no knowledge of these companies and wouldn't want to lead you to one that is less reputable. It does, at least, seem as if there are some options.

Most of the equipment I had in Europe was dual voltage so I didn't have to worry about it. Do you know if any of your equipment is?

Don't think any of it is dual voltage, my manuals just state 110. Although the yamaha lists varions versions, the north american version only lists 110.

That leads me to another question...

If i bring over the tv, and get a transformer to get 110, will the 50 hz thrown a monkey wrench into things? The TV states 110/60hz. I think this affects crt's but im not sure about the DLP.

Thanks!
