Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Sony AC-E60A is an appropriate AC adaptor for home or while traveling abroad. The slim profile makes it a nice accessory to pack away in a small bag or backpack. Sony has made this adaptor about one-third the weight of previous models, which will make the backpack tourists very happy. With the foldable AC plug blade, the adaptor becomes a straight-lined package, further enhancing its convenient storage capability. The adaptor is worldwide voltage capable. The low waiting-power consumption is a nice energy saving feature, while the large current capacity is a plus for its wide range of uses. With the 6.5 foot cord, reaching those ill-spaced outlets is made a bit easier. The AC-E60A has a rated output of 6V DC and a rated input of 100-240V AC.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a good adapter for the Sony 7600GR Shortwave Radio, December 8, 2004

By	James K. Bess (Cookeville, TN United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought the AC-E60A adapter to use with my Sony 7600GR shortwave radio. I knew that it would cause some interference with the signal, but purchased it anyways just in case I was in a pinch. Trust me, the adapter adds a lot of noise to the AM Bandwidth, drowning out all of the weaker stations. It even says "not recommended for use with radio" on the package. It works fine with FM reception, but AM/SW reception really suffers when you use the adapter.

The best approach to take with the 7600GR would be to use NiMH rechargable batteries. You will save money in the long run, and you will not have to deal with the interference caused by an AC Adapter. The adapter works, and will probably suit a portable CD player fine.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor choice for Sony ICF-SW7600GR, April 24, 2005

By	Mikey from Michigan - See all my reviews

I purchased this adaptor thinking I could use it to power my 7600. I was wrong. It makes so much RF noise I wonder why Sony even makes it. Still looking for a clean adaptor.

1.0 out of 5 stars Using this Power Supply with a radio., December 4, 2006

By	J. March (Newark, DE) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I read the other reviews before I purchased this power supply. The one review stated that for Short Wave radio use, the power supply created significant interference, but for FM use it was probably fine. Most of our use is for FM, so I purchased the power supply. Locally, our town is considered to be "radio free". Our experience is that for "the one" strong local radio station reception overpowered the interference.
For the rest of the stations there was significant interference. We've opted to not use the power supply when we are listening to the stations
we want to listen to. And, just decided to send the Power Supply back.

The package clearly states in the first note "Do not use this AC adaptor with a radio as it may cause some noises". Information on web did not sufficiently declare this weakness.
