I think I can take a stab at this: my GUESS is that your abttery pack is set up to deliver 4.5 volts DC twice, that is, each bank of 3 AA cells delivers 4.5 VDC to the player, because that way you can double the current of the AA cells, and still keep the package fairly slim ( as opposed to say, using 3 "C" cells). That would explain the 9VAC supply, which when rectified to DC, will deliver 4.5 VDC as well. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it... : ) -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
