chiragkotak Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 i imported a mz rh 10 from n america i live in india ...the supplied adoptor says 120 volts, 5 wattswhereas the sockets here are 220 or 240 v... i just bought a voltage converter to step down from 240 to 120 v... (i am having difficulties finding a converter specifically for 5 watts..i got one that says 20 watts..i think it means from anywhere between 0 to 20 watts max)i plugged the adaptor and converter together into the wall socket and pressed stop on the player...charging starts and the charging icon is displayed...the question is... the chrging icon and display go off after a while and i have to press stop again to start charging..i have been through the manual..it says that the display does'nt go off while charging but it seems to be going off... i have now changed the display option to on instead of auto off... it still happens...is this normal?? could there be a problem with the voltage converter?? should i discontinue using it?? nothing abnormal seems to be happening apart from going off every 15 to 20 minutes...no error messages...will this damage the player??i contacted sony ..they say to buy a sony universal adaptor..any advise??thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishiyoshi Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 Get this Sony AC-E30A worldwide AC Adaptor and you will be fine. It works with the MZ-RH10 with no detrimental effects.--> you can review its information here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smilesalot2u Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 Get this Sony AC-E30A worldwide AC Adaptor and you will be fine. It works with the MZ-RH10 with no detrimental effects.--> you can review its information here.Works fine for me, I recently moved to Finland and they have 220 volts here, the watts doesnt matter because your product doesnt draw that much current. Of course you can use the battery pack that we discussed in your other question. On that note I was interested in buying the worldwide adaptor but they dont have any in stock and the customer service rep wasn't much help either. Im going to go ask the Finland Sony rep. MondayThanks for the part number Ishiyoshismilesalot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiragkotak Posted October 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 (edited) i would like to add to the question...this seems to be happening with the usb cable as well...after charging for some time..it stops...the manual says that usb is only provisional and will stop after about 6 hrs and charge only half the battery...i understand this...but after the charge icon stops..i take out the usb wire and plug it back in after a few seconds..and it continues charging for another ten minutes or so...before stopping again...has anyone noticed this...soon after battery seems to be charged half or full and the icon disappears.. if you reconnect the usb or ac adaptor..does it continue charging for a while ?i dont understand ... could there be a problem with the player or the gumstick or is this normal??.thank you...

Qwakrz Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 I presume you are trying to charge a flat battery.If the battery is partly or nearly full then the charging icon will come on for a few mins and then go off.I would suggest flattening the battery and doing a full charge, should take a few hours before the display goes off.

sitnt Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Hi!I also have a problem with charging RH10. The problem is when I charg rh10 from the stand, I found it didn't charge at all, but it's fine when I charge it directly from the charger to MD. Did anyone has this problem like me?
