MDX-400 Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 I don't think the R500 had recharging capability... (I could be wrong on that but I'm pretty sure). The R500 was a value (low cost) unit that, unfortunately, was TOO stripped down. In addition to no mic jack, it lacked both recharging and the remote port on the headphone jack. Neither a rechargeable can be charged in the player or a remote be used, even by "adding them at a later date". I believe Sony realised they made the unit a little too featureless and they corrected that in the MZ-N505 low cost unit when they "added" recharging and the remote port to the non-microphone unit in the line. Eventhough in most locales the remote and battery were not provided, they could be added later. So anyhow, it looks like the R500 can't recharge a battery. You can always use a rechargeable but you'll have to charge it with a separate recharger... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
