read my post!!!!! it depends on how Sony wants to interpret things. Some employee probably thought that the more warranties they deny (and the the more money for Sony) the better he is doing on the job. A loose interpretation of Power Supply Device allows for a surge protector to be included, although i wouldn't include such a thing myself.
I have heard of other companies denying warranties because of surge protectors, so this isn't all that far fetched.
