Digital camera reviews of Sony AC-E45A Worldwide AC Power Adaptor with Folding Plug Blade
Digital camera Review: Adaptor
Summary: 5 Stars
The Sony Adaptor works well and is handy to have. The folding plug makes storage easy. We keep it at the bedside at night so that we can plug the Walkman in before bedtime and, during the day, plug it in near the easy chair for easy listening. The adaptor saves more than its purchase price on batteries.Digital camera Review: Alternative models for the Sony radio
Summary: 1 Stars
After reading these reviews I decided to try a different adaptor for the Sony radio I purchased from Amazon. The first one I purchased from RadioShack produced the same type of interference as was reported by several people here. I returned that one and purchased a different model which works fine with the Sony radio and produces no interference. The model that works is RadioShack 273-1765. It is a 4.5 V - 700 mA AC-to-DC Adapter. This model costs $ 22.99.Digital camera Review: Amazon got this WRONG! Won't work with Sangean SG-622
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought a Sangean SG-622 12 Band AM/FM/Short Wave Receiver and Amazon had this AC adaptor as the one to buy for it. Well, it doesn't work with this radio so don't waste your money. Amazon needs to contact all customers that bought this item for the Sangean radio and apologize and offer a REFUND!Digital camera Review: Caution
Summary: 3 Stars
...although this may be approved by Sony for use with their radios, the front of package reads "Not recommended for AM radio" and the back of package says "Do not use this AC adaptor with a radio as it may cause some noises". ...I tried it with my Sony ICF-M410V portable radio and learned that my favorite AM station (650 Khz) was accompanied by a significant high pitched whine which is not present when operating on batteries.
Perhaps all power supplies cause similar interference.
Digital camera Review: Completely Worthless When Used As Recommended
Summary: 1 Stars
Both Amazon and Sony present this power supply as suitable for the ICF-M410V Sony Radio. (Check Sony's web page)
Only when you receive the wretched thing and go through the slashing, cutting and hacking that modern packaging requires, do you find that this item is completely useless with the radio, emitting a loud hum that drowns out any reception.
Now I have to package it up, write and explanatory letter to Amazon, and try to get my money back. Then I'll have to find a power supply that is suitable for the radio. I have a feeling that I am not going to be successful, as one of the other reviewers has found.
So now I'm stuck with a radio that will only function with batteries, after it was presented as being compatable with a charger - why else would it have a female input for a DC jack?
To say that I am annoyed is putting it mildly. What a bloody scam!
