I have the same issue with my Sony KDL46EX400, which i have shipped to india (currently on the way). The UL label says 110V/60Hz and the stamped manufacturer label says 110-240V/50-60Hz.

Thanks.

Has anyone heard about the "mini-xylo" 5 seater that is supposed to come out soon? I have heard it will be like the xylo (SUV), but with 2 rows of seats and a smaller diesel engine. If so, it will be great for indian roads! I'm going to be looking for a second car in May, so I hope it comes out ...

We used Sky2C. They provided the best quote for a 20Ft container. Will post more updates as the R2I progresses.
Please PM me if you have questions specific to a Pune R2I. When are you looking at moving?
Thanks.
