>From what I have read in these pages, and you
discovered this yourself, the Sharp will play using a
4.5 volt input, but will not charge. Also, 6 volts is
too much for a Sharp 5 volt unit. I tried to run my
MD with a 6 volt unit (not realizing it). Thankfully,
the MD unit shut itself off, rather than allowing
itself to be damaged.
Do yourself a favour and seek out a 5 volt adaptor if
you need to charge the unit. Some previous posts gave
some ideas how to obtain one.
