Sony MZ-RH710 DC Adapter Current Rating?

[fatmuttony]

I have a Sony MZ-RH710, but when it was bought, it didn't come with the AC to DC (3 Volt) adapter. I checked at the electronics store locally, and they have 3V DC adapters with 200 mA current rating and 500 mA current rating. Does it matter which one I choose for my RH710? If it does, which one should i get?

THanks in advance.

I would get the higher rated one. Even if the unit uses less mA it will only draw what it needs. This said, I have a 1 amp universal unit that I use without any problems on my NHF800. IIRC Sony stock units range between 300 mA and 1 amp.

Right, I kinda figured that out, because the unit would have a fixed impedance/resistance, and supplied with a fixed voltage, would draw as much current as needed. Right?

I just wanted reaffirmation I guess.

Thanks.
