unlike some Denons, for Sony Discmans IR sensors and remotes had to be purchased separately I was so impressed by the weirdness of Toshiba docking stations (like TAC-210) that made a few for my own collection. Provides regulated 9V for the Discman and incorporates IR sensor Sony D-250 playing some oldies: and here is the most reviewed Discman EVER (Optimus CD-3400), playing some newer oldies: now trying to determine if M'pingo Disc at its most effective with logo facing Up or Down and before you ask - Yes, by now I have a few working Dick Sequerra PS1 power stations for CD-3400
The IR remote only works when the Discman is powered from an external AC supply. It took me a while to give up and read the manual to discover that my DM-1K was fine it just doesn't work when running your Discman on batteries
Silverera. You're probably right. Never looked it up. Only use the Discmans at home using the AC adaptor.
so true! quite a few 1st Gen Discmans would have been saved if we followed the instructions: 1. When the unit will not be used, be sure to disconnect the AC power adaptor 2. Do not attach the BP-100 and BP-2 at the same time and, of course, the most important one: Use only the supplied AC power adaptor... Polarity of plugs of other manufacturers may be different. because it WAS different! Wish I could hear the explanation why Negative (=Ground) was selected as a center-pin. Using Positive as a shielding just does not make any sense. It took Sony and Kenwood a few years to realize, probably at the expense of quite a few Under-Warranty returns, that it is cheaper NOT to 'think different' Last production run of Sony D-10 even had a very ingenious fuse which saved the Discman when Center-Positive adapter was plugged in
