Would Denon 1909 receiver bought in the US work in India


Would Denon 1909 receiver bought in the US work in India?
I know I would need a step down transformer for power. But would the cable signal work fine? Has anybody ever tried this? Any reason why this is not a good idea?

Electricity in India is 240 Volts, alternating at 50 Hz per second. A receiver bought in the US would be designed for 120V, 60 HZ. You would need a transformer that would convert 240V, 50 Hz to 120v, 60 Hz

No, a reciever draws too much current for a transformer to be used, if you try to plug that thing and turn it on, say byebye receiver. Only way for it to work is if you find an outlet in india that has 110- 120V, but i doubt you will because they have a country standard of 220-240v
