## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it come with the AC plug?  I ordered one and sent it to my aunt and she's not sure if there was a AC plug with it.  Thanks**
A: The AC plug comes hard wired into the radio and stored in hidden compartment.  If using AC the manual says to REMOVE the batteries.

**Q: Size ?**
A: You can look it up on the Sony web site, but it's actually the size of a small table radio.  Small enough to be portable, but large enough to sound pretty good.

**Q: can earphone jack be used for accessory speaker?**
A: Hi Amazon Customer,Yes you can. Thanks,>Joffrey

**Q: does it have a headphone jack?**
A: yes, the headphone jack is located under the volume knob.  it only provides mono sound (one ear), but it works fine if you don't need stereo.
