Is there an AC adaptor available for this instead of batteries? Also, can you turn the volume off if you don't want to hear the audio?

Yes there is an ac adapter available. Just don't use the astronometer portion of the menu-stick to your own selections. However, you can turn the volume to off.

It has an optional AC adapter kit. I bought the unit without this. I use batteries because I need to be portable.

I believe mine came with an AC Adaptor. I don't USB would be enough even if it was an option.

Yes, the batteries can be used instead of the AC Adaptor, I do not know how long they will last though.

No, you can not turn off the sound, there is no switch, but you could take the batteries out of it.

Yes, there is an AC Power Adapter that comes with the CD player. It strictly runs off electricity. It is not equipped for batteries. I gave this as a gift to my aunt (age 77) and she loves it. I was surprised it does not take batteries, but she is very happy with it.

Hi. This unit does not run on batteries. It's AC power only. The sound is OUTSTANDING for the price and size. I have had mine for a couple of months and have zero regrets.

Headphone port, not bad sound if batteries are fresh and its just for background. It doesn't have a plug in to the wall, so if your batteries start to go it is a bit of an issue. works great if you just use it for a couple hours.

For the transmitter, there is a socket so you can plug in a 3 volt AC adaptor. For the headphones, no - I use AAA rechargeable batteries for it.

It has an AC adapter. I don't remember if it has a battery or not, I think it might take AAs.

Hello.There is no AC adaptor. The device requires 2 AA batts. It has brought me huge peace of mind. I highly recommend this.Getting Mom to use it, is a whole other issue. :) Good Luck!

Hi Keri, no it does not have an AC adapter for home, nor did I notice any place to connect one. It has no on/off switch, so after using it once (and forgetting to unplug it) and burning out my car battery, I never used it again.

The power adapter is listed as 110-240 plus it comes with the necessary adapters to cover most everywhere. Unless you need the extra volume, usually one just runs it on the battery and recharges overnight. The volume is pretty decent with the battery but playing with the charger will give the volume a nice boost when the unit is several feet away.

You get a set of ear buds, and cable to connect to your computer. No ac adapter.

Can use the A/C adapter instead of batteries. Have not tried to power it with just the USB, but it might work.

Mine uses AA batteries but quickly drains them of power 1-2 hours - if I'm lucky. I've tried using a ac/dc adapter with it when I hooked it up (via a patch cable) to my Boombox, it (CD player) shut down after an hour. I am disappointed - to put it mildly.

Thanks for the response but that's ok. I already got an ac adaptor for the dvd. I needed it. So, thanks.
