Hi all,
A couple of questions about a Denon 5.1 receiver (AVRX 520B) I bought in the UK to bring back with me to Brazil (a nightmare to pack into my baggage, but import costs are so high here it was worth the hassle!). Before I get everything set up I want to make sure I don't risk damaging the receiver due to different voltages in the UK (220V) and Brazil (120V).
The receiver specs say it is for 220V, but I'm not sure how to interpret that... what do you think could happen if I plug it in to a 120V plug socket?
Would it...
(A) just not turn on?
(B) work but with less power (producing lower volume audio)?
(C) explode and leave me crying?
(D) be all cool?
And if the answer is any of options (A) to (C), how can I solve this? Would a voltage transformer do the trick?
