hello, i recently purchased an out of box mz-n10. some accessories were missing and i could not recharge. i called sony and they sent me (free) a cradle - very fine customer service. to my dismay the cradle did not solve the issue. i believe i am missing other accessories. i can place theplayer in the cradle and connect the usb cable to my pc. i receive the low battery message and then the player shuts down. there is a dc in 6v input. the plug (adapter) which came with the unit does not fit the hole (ac adapter model ad1805c) is there some sort of ac-usb adapter which i am missing -> which would plug into the cradle and ac outlet or some ac adapter which would plus into the dc in 6v input?? i would return the unit but i like it. also there are presently no mic recording sony minidisc units available in my city (no hi-md - nothing). everyone is out of stock. i will be leaving soon for many months in asia and really want a recorder. grrrrr. if anyone has a mz-n10 unit please enlighten me. thanks!~
