RE: MD: Car journeys and I'm bored!
The Sony cigarette lighter socket adaptors should be very easy to come by, I would imagine. As for extending the battery performance of the R55, the only way I can see without actually modifying the unit as such, would be to make a battery pack out of larger cells (like C or D size, despite their bulky nature) and plug it into the DC socket of the R55. Ensure that the battery pack is assembled to supply the appropriate voltage, of course.

After I eventually subscibed to this list I've now got a few questions = to ask (in the vague hope they'll be answered...). 1.) For us English people on this list, does anyone know where I can get = a car adapter for long journeys - I'm going to France this year and I = have no desire to try and recharge batteries while on the move. I'm assuming Sony will stock them (go to a local Sony Centre - beware, when I asked about a mains adaptor for my Discman, the quoted 23 UKP..), else go to your local Maplins/Tandy and try out their power adaptors until you find one with the right size plug and the correct specs (good luck!). From looking at the error messages in the manual, it should tell you if it's out of spec (the "Hi DC in" message). 2.) How can you extend the battery life of the Sony MZ-R55? Please make = it easy, I don't trust myself with a soldering iron... Either use the supplied battery adaptor (and some pairs of AAs), or buy yourself a spare NiMH battery or two. Superfi ( http://www.superfi.co.uk ) stock them for 10 UKP each. Simon - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello people, After I eventually subscibed to this list I've now got a few questions = to ask (in the vague hope they'll be answered...). 1.) For us English people on this list, does anyone know where I can get = a car adapter for long journeys - I'm going to France this year and I = have no desire to try and recharge batteries while on the move. Try The Sony Centre or anywhere selling Sony stuff. You can use virtually and cassette adapter with your MD (the ones that are designed for portable CD players are ideal) but you will need to check that any power supply system (plugging into cigarette lighter) is the correct type. I would be better to get the proper Sony adapter designed for use with their MDs for this. 2.) How can you extend the battery life of the Sony MZ-R55? Please make = it easy, I don't trust myself with a soldering iron... Well the simplest method is to attach the supplied AA battery pack. You can also swap batteries whilst the unit is running without it stopping and without risk of damage.
