Not compatible [Posted on 2007-11-21]
The Sony AC-E45A AC Power Adaptor is presented as being compatible with the Sony ICF-M410V portable radio. The web site advertisment encourages you to buy the adaptor if you buy the radio by offering a package. Reality is that the adaptor causes the radio to have unacceptable noise and static. What is worse is that the notes on the reverse side of the Sony AC-E45A power adaptor carton say, "Do not use this adaptor with a radio as it may cause some noises." Obviously, had I been aware of the notes on the backside of the carton, I would not have purchased the adaptor and probably not the radio as well.
Do Not Buy for AM Radio [Posted on 2007-12-04]
Had same problem as others with this power supply as it imparts loud interference due to being a switching supply. It will not work with AM radios yet this is the accessory that Amazon lists for the Sony ICF-M410V portable radio. It even states this on the package but not in the ads.
Alternative models for the Sony radio [Posted on 2008-01-13]
After reading these reviews I decided to try a different adaptor for the Sony radio I purchased from Amazon. The first one I purchased from RadioShack produced the same type of interference as was reported by several people here. I returned that one and purchased a different model which works fine with the Sony radio and produces no interference. The model that works is RadioShack 273-1765. It is a 4.5 V - 700 mA AC-to-DC Adapter. This model costs $ 22.99.
Great, but some static interference [Posted on 2008-02-08]
Product does everything it says. It does tend to have a little more static interference than just using it on battery power, but not all the time and not enough to make it annoying.
Noisy on am [Posted on 2008-04-19]
This adapter was noisy on am stations when used with the sony radio.
Found a generic at Radio Shack , however, that worked just fine and was quiet for about the same price.
