Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Here's an ambiguous answer for you (sorry): my VZ-8M has a switch on
the bottom like the one you describe; my VZ-10M does not have such a
switch (that I can see)!  The specification page in the owner's manual
for _both_ units has the following entry: 
"Power Supply: 100V, 120V, 220V, 240V AC"
The 8M switch is very evident (slot-head screwdriver fit).  The 10M
has a hole in the bottom of the case, in about the same relation to
the power jack as the switch on the 8M.  But it also has a hole
similarly spaced from the opposite rear corner.
The 8M draws a nominal 14 Watts, the 10M draws 15, so the power
supplies may not be identical.   I'm not inclined to disassemble a
well-functioning synth to see if there is an internal switch.  Perhaps
someone with a borked unit will look at it for you.
Or, get 2 VZ-8Ms!
