I have a Polaroid portable DVD player and the power supply recently went on me. I was looking to get a replacement and I wound up buying a Jensen universal AC adapter. It comes with various plugs and I'm sure one will fit my DVD player to power and charge its battery.
I haven't opened the package yet since I want to make sure it would be compatible. It states on the front of the package that it is "ideal for portable DVD players". Now, I don't understand a whole lot about electronics, but the Jensen package states the following:
This universal AC adapter converts 110 AC to 3, 4.5, 6, 7.5, 9 and 12 volts DC. Power electronics devices requiring 1700mA of current or less
Now, I looked at my failed original DVD power adapter and it says the following:
INPUT: 100-240V~50/60Hz 1.5A Max
Output: +9.5V --- 3A
Will this new universal AC adapter work? I was more concerned about it requiring 9.5V (volts I'm assuming) and I don't see the universal adapter saying it can handle 9.5 volts. Only 9 & 12. Or does it not matter?
