Hi, New to this forum and MD in general... sorry if this question's been asked before, I tried the FAQs and searching the forum, but I couldn't find an answer to my particular "problem". On top of that, I'm in Japan right now with a new MZ-RH10 and a japanese manual, which I can't read, and no way of viewing PDF documents... so I hope you can help me out. The question is simple; I noticed that when placing the unit in the charging cradle, the display will show "Charging...", and so it does. However, when I connect the AC adaptor directly to the unit, it doesn't show "Charging...". So, do I need the charging cradle to charge the unit? Or will the AC adaptor also charge the unit, and just not show anything on the display? Thanks for your help, Immortal
