I know my Denon portable (Sharp MS200 clone) will not work without a stepdown
transformer). You get an error message on the LCD saying "Power?"

There have been many reports of Sharp based units being very demanding about
having the exact power supplied to them. My voltage is 120 (measured with a
DVM at the wall). Can you think why my R-90 or R-900 wouldn't give the "Hi
DC in" error message they are capable of if the voltage is really a problem?
It seems to me, the manufacturer would only put this kind of message in if
they were able to detect when the voltage would cause damage.
Anyway, I suppose I haven't really put it to a rigorous test. I usually use
an offline charger for the batteries. Since getting the R-900 however, I
have recorded about 45 hours worth of material in the last 2 weeks using the
100V adapter and have not noticed any problems, no error messages, unit stays
stone cold (LP2 recording runs cooler as one might expect, 2 x the time for
heat to dissapate). Do you really think there might be long term effects?

Leland
