I don't know any specific models available in the U.S. You just need to
look at the specs or manuals of players in your price range.
Figuring out if the player is region-free shouldn't be a problem, as
such players usually have that feature marked very visibly in brochures.
Still, I'm not absolutely certain about the meaning of multi-system, but
if you download the manual, you should find picture of menus where you
can set video output format to PAL or NTSC. If such setting exists, the
player will work with both PAL and NTSC tv's.
Operating voltage(s) usually can be found in the end of manual among
other technical details. Useful combinations for your use could be
marked e.g. as 110/220, 115/230 or 110-230. Frequencies should include
50 and 60 Hz. As the plugs are different, you might want to find a
picture of back of the player, and check that the power cord is not
fixed, but instead it can be plugged off. (And it's always better if the
connector looks same as in many other devices like boomboxes or shavers,
as that makes the cords easier to find in your new location.)
If you want to play .avi files: well, .avi can contain video and audio
in any format, so it's impossible to make a player that would play all
avi files. But if you buy a player that has DivX Video logo on its front
panel, it'll play .avi files where video is in DivX and audio in MP3,
and that's probably most common combination.
