I purchased a Denon AVR-1513 from the US and I want to use it in India. The power requirements are 110V at 60 Hz. What type of step down transformer should I use with this AV receiver? What should be the power capacity of the transformer? I was suggested to purchase a 1KVA capacity transformer. Does that sound right?
Where can I purchase the transformer in Bangalore? I saw a Maxine 1KVA transformer on amazon.in for 4.5K. Is that too expensive?
Once I decide to buy the transformer how can I test it before connecting the receiver, to make sure that my AV Receiver won't get damaged?

Invest in a good quality transformer that will not be noisy or saturate easily. The one you are looking at seems very cheap compared to other available 1,000VA rated step-up transformers, and is not fused or has outlets. Too low a cost increases the likelihood the transformer will have an undersized core and poorly done windings. 15K (approx US$250.00) is probably nor too much too pay for a good quality 1,000VA transformer with encosure, circuit breaker and outlets.
