    The owners of SZ 330,340,360 purchased in USA..

    Could you please have a look at your power supply adapters for the voltage they show: 100-240V?

    Although Sony site mentions 100-240V ( and my current old Vaio has the same) the descriptions onthe web sites of different merchants mention only 120V which made me confused- and I have to travel a lot to different countries with different voltage.

    Thank you.

    Well, I have an SZ120 and it says 100-240. I've taken it out of the country as well and haven't had any problems.

    Go ahead. Plug it in. You will have no problems. Typically if marketed to higher voltage countries, power converter will be grounded, but even the ungrounded lower voltage adapter will do the exact same conversion job. The output is significantly less than either converter takes in.
