I Brought Sony Blu-Ray player from US. I want to use it in India, so which adapter should i go for?
Answer
India power is 230Volts 50 Hz 3 pin round triangle
US Power is 120Volts 60Hz Typically on a Bluray would be 2 pin vertical flat blades without/with round ground pin
The question is whether you need an adaptor or a converter. You need to look up the Sony power requirements. Sometimes there is a little switch. If only 120V 60Hz, you need a power converter.
An adaptor looks like this: http://www.amazon.com/Power-Bright-PB11-Adapter-Grounded/dp/B002L2DRQE
but does not convert the power, and you would damage the electronics if not designed to accept 230V.
Online shopping for electronics in India is difficult. Just stepping down the voltage from 230 to 120, still leaves the cycles phase difference.
Then of course you may be faced with region coding of Bluray discs
I think you need one of these, and the only question is about the 60Hz vs 50Hz

can you watch blu ray discs on 720p telivision?
Steve
can you watch blu ray discs on 720p telivision?
do regular dvds look better on 720p even though they arent hi def?
Answer
Most definitely you can watch Blu-ray in 720p! Blu-ray has a maximum resolution of 1080p, even 720p will be much clearer than a standard DVD.
Depending on the upscaler and DVD/Blu-ray player you have, regular DVDs will probably not look "better" on a high definition TV. Regular DVDs have a maximum resolution of 480 (PAL) or 576 (NTSC) , so what the player would do is scale and fill in data to populate all 720 vertical pixels.
Some players that has the Silicon Optix REON chip has great upscaling that makes standard DVDs look really good. But remember it is still trying to fill in data that is not there before.
Also keep in mind too, even if you don't have a upscaling player your TV will do the job of scaling the information to fit your TV. Remember that some where along the line, the regular DVD's 480p will have to be stretch to fit the DVD. Higher end TVs will have great upscalers where you don't even need a "upscaling" dvd player. Most Blu-ray players again are pretty good upscalers for normal DVDs as well.
