MDX-400 Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Practically speaking any cig lighter adapter that has selectable voltages and an appropriate plug (i.e. a "universal" adapter) would be useable, provided it had a 1.5V connection. However since a lot of "universal" adapters aren't really well regulated or sometimes go a bit out of the selected voltage I'd recommend a genuine Sony adapter to be on the safe side. What you should look for is a Sony DCC-E23 or the newer model DCC-E345. These work with cigarette lighters of most vehicles (12V, negative ground) and output any of [selectable] 1.5/3.0/4.5 or 6V for use with the appropriate Sony portables. (Note: The DCC-E23 doesn't provide 3V output but does do the other 3 voltages). A DCC-E345 fetches usually around $5-$10 US on eBay plus shipping, on eBay.com that is. I dunno about your area but perhaps they have them there too. Buying from Sony, the adapter would probably be a bit expensive so your best bet would likely be to find an eBay.com seller who is willing to ship to Maylaysia...

You can use any one, but the quality varies by adapter. Some of the Sony ones have cross-talk adjustment; and, some Panasonic ones out there actually had Metal tape EQ (70us) which, if you have metal tape selection on your car deck, can improve sound quality. Again, as with the cigarette lighter power adapter, you can probably find the Sony one on eBay for cheap as well. Really you'll probably be able to find both in one auction, from one seller, which will simplify things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
