I have a Casio CZ-230s and nowhere can I find any information on it. The darned thing was given to me (without a power supply) and I can't find what type of 9V power supply to buy, when I went to radio shack they asked me do I want "300 watt", "500 watt" etc... I've no clue.. all the back says is "9V"... HELP!! Thank you in advance!

Only buy a 300 watt supply if you plan to use 15 of these synths in parallel :) Seriously, make sure the supply is AC vs DC as per markings on the synth, the polarity (sleeve/core) is correct, and that it is indeed 9 V. Maxim darlenemccoy wrote:

> they asked me do I want "300 watt", "500 watt" etc... I've no clue.. Did you mean 300 mA or 500 mA? I can't see why you would need more than 300 milliamps. But you could just get a 500 milliamp adapter just to be on the safe side. That'll be more than enough power for your synth.

Greetings, Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I believe you wont hurt anything having a power supply with more wattage than you need. <Important> However, make sure you have the polarity right. My CZ1000 didn't have any polarity markings on it. Polarity markings look, roughly, like this (+) --( o-- (-) . Luckily, the CZ1000 takes batteries, so the guy at radio shack was able to use the battery terminals to determine the polarity of the power supply plug. I seem to remember reading somthing about the 230s but I can't remember what it was. Make a joyful noise, Nathan

I used to have a CZ-230s and I'm fairly certain it used the same power
pack as the CZ-101:
Model AD-5U: 9V DC 850mA output

Actually, I just looked up the spec for the CZ-230s, and it says it uses the AD-5/AD-5E adapter. I'm not sure if that's the similar to the AD-5U or not.

Just a thought, there is one of these up for bid on eBay, do a search on your Casio, contact the owner and ask him if he could give you the info off of his power supply ............ hambug --- Maxim Potekhin <maxim.potekhin@...> wrote: > Only buy a 300 watt supply if you plan to use 15 of > these synths > in parallel :) > > > Seriously, make sure the supply is AC vs DC as per > markings > on the synth, the polarity (sleeve/core) is correct, > and > that it is indeed 9 V. > > Maxim > > > darlenemccoy wrote: > > > > I have a Casio CZ-230s and nowhere can I find any > information on it. > > The darned thing was given to me (without a power > supply) and I can't > > find what type of 9V power supply to buy, when I > went to radio shack > > they asked me do I want "300 watt", "500 watt" > etc...
