    Hi, I would love to have this shipped to my country in Asia/Singapore

    Can someone help on these or provide pictures?
    I would like to know if:
    1. Power Adapter
    - is it international voltage range?
    2. Power Plug
    - does it provide for different international sockets in the box?
    3. Warranty
    - does it cover you when your travel abroad?? or just USA?
    4. Ext HDTV Tuner
    - Is it hardware specific to USA? NTSC or PAL or both?
    or software switch-able?
    5. HDDVD Drive
    - Is it writeable?
    - Is it region-coded in hardware to only play US DVDs? or software selectable to any regions?
    6. HDMI + other outputs etc
    - are these outputs region-specific as well or internationally-usable? i.e. NTSC+PAL

    and any additional suggestions/comments?

    Many Thanks.
    Dan.

    1. 100-240v, 50-60hz

    2. You can probably buy a converter from an electrical store in your area or something.

    3. You should be covered

    5. CD/DVD writable

    4 & 6. If there is a problem, you won't be the first one, there is probably something that help you
