Does the Zen Sleek docking station NEED a power adapt

I already have a docking station for my Zen Sleek which is connected to my PC.
I would like to get another one for my hi-fi downstairs so that I can take advantage of the line out socket. Does the dock need power to provide the line-out socket so am I going to have to sort out a second power supply as well?
If I do need a second power supply, would it be ok to just buy a uni'versal power supply (providing the current is sufficient) and plug that in, which would be cheaper than a Creative OE one?
Thanks in advance. The Sleek rocks!Message Edited by manoman48 on 06-27-2006 03:55 AM

The battery pack for the V200 is a different size/shape to the one for the TX, NX, TX FM etc. More important I suppose is whether the actual MP3 module is the same size or not; whether the V200 module will fit in the TX battery compartment or not.
Creative's official answer will probably be that they are different. On first looks they appear different but someone with both players might be able to give you a better answer.

  • What to buy? Does the Zen Sleek Photo have line-

    Hello,
    I am looking for a MP3 Player and recorder that has the following:
    . Quality line-in recording capabilities, preferably built in, but if not at least avaible through and attachment or something.
    2. Quality voice recording capibilities to MP3 files.
    3. Variable Sample Rate
    4. Variable Bit Rate
    5. A very good Signal to noise ratio.
    6. At least 2 gig (perferably much more) of dri've space.
    I am not so concerned about Radio capabilities.
    I am not so concerned about size and weight.
    I am mainly using the player/recorder to record classes that are hooked up to a stereo system (hence the
    need for quality line-in recording) as well as classes that are not hooked up to a audio system, hence the need for quality microphone recording.
    I want high quality recordings, but with some flexibilty regarding things like sample rate if file size becomes an issue.
    I would like not to have to constantly upload my recordings to my PC, hence the need for substantial dri've space.
    I am curious about the Creative Zen Sleek Photo (20 GB). It seemed to have a lot of what I was looking for. Is the bit rate adjustable and is there line-in recording for this model?
    Please let me know what products are avaible that have what I am looking for.
    Thank You, Ezra

    Nope, I havent seen any complaints about the MicroPhoto's headphone jack, and I have had no problems with mine.
    You should be fine with it. And keep your eyes open for the sales, I saw Best Buy selling the 8GB for $30.
    Good luck.

  • Does a speaker system (docking station) exsist for IPHONE?

    Does apple make a docking station similar to the one for IPODS?

    Welcome to the forums.
    Apple doesn't, but other makers are starting to. There was one (in the U.K.) company that is going to release something close to Christmas -- it can probably be bought and shipped to the U.S. if you are interested.
    More and more companies will be taking into account both the iPhone and the Touch and you just need to keep looking both at the store here (which carries products made by other folks) as well as online (a Google for "iPhone speakers" will do wonders).

  • Does the Zen Micro hv tis features? Pls Hel

    Does the Zen Micro support chinese interface?.. Also, does it display songs' lyrics on playback? For example, coming with a tag for every songs.. Lastly, may I noe whether a microphone is needed for voice recording.. or can we juz speak directly into the player without using any other external hardware n everything tt has been said will be recorded?.. Thx.. =)

    Hello, Miss Catherina. I am honored by your attention and reply.
    You must know, Miss Catherina, we who buy your music players are not strictly music listeners. We love music and we love to sing along with our music. You seem to have small regard on this. In fact, it's one of the major features I am looking for in an Mp3 player. My answer might be displeasing if you would ask me why then did I buy a Creative Mp3 player if I knew it didn't have that feature. But I actually trust Creative much when it comes to sound quality and digital products. And if your Zen Micro just didn't really look that nice and cute. ;-) Anyway, I'm saying this LYRICS feature is really great--would be really great. And I'm not actually just saying a lyrics-display feature, I'm saying a TXT-VIEWING functionality, so you can read long .txt files on it from your Notepad. Your player would be as good as PalmPad, I think. Wouldn't you like that advantage? mpio's HD300 (and HD200 firmware upgradable) has that feature...
    Miss Catherina, I hope you can help us get this feature... PLEASE! We beg you.

  • What is the name of the new apple docking station?

    what is the name of the new apple docking station?

    I believe it's a face in the Myriad Pro family. The font used in the text on the Graphics page appears to be Myriad Pro Semibold.
    These fonts aren't included with OS X.
    Hope this helps....

  • Does the Zen Touch show up as a drive lett

    I am trying to replace my Archos Jukebox recorder and am looking for alternati'ves. So far, it looks like the Zen Touch is the best alternati've. I am looking for an MP3 player that records and acts as a portable hard dri've, but I don't want to have to install software on every machine I am trying to interface with. The Archos showed up as a dri've letter and I was able to transfer files easily. Does the Zen Touch have new firmware to allow this?
    Thanks!

  • Does the iPod Shuffle (2nd Gen) need to be fully charged...

    Does the iPod Shuffle (2nd gen) need to be fully charged (green light) to appear in my iTunes. I just bought one on eBay... not sure if it works. It's plugged into the USB port and the light is orange (solid, not blinking).
    Should I expect it to turn green before it will show up as a Device in my iTunes?

    So, the issue on this one was that I was not plugged directly into my computer - I was using a usb hub. Once I removed the hub and put the ipod shuffle (2nd G) directly into my hard drive it opened up iTunes and I was able to synch. It never did show a green light, until I unplugged it and put the ear buds in, turned on the "on" switch and there was a green light. I hope this helps someone else.

  • Does the Zen Vision:M

    Does the Zen Vision:M have the capability to play pod casts or can only Ipods play podcasts?

    That wierd, I've had two Zen Vision M's and they've both came with AC?adapters. I just recently went on a vacation where I was listeing to my ZVM alot in the hotel and on the long dri'ves along the country side. Theres no way my Zen Vision would have made it a whole week if I had not had my AC adapter.If they really wanted to cut back on the freebies they could have kept that stupid pouch and those useless MP3s that come preloaded onto the player. But the AC Adapter was essentional to the functionality of the player.

  • Does the Zen Micro Photo 8GB have Jack Stick proble

    As my title says, does the Zen Micro Photo 8GB have Jack Stick problems?
    Some claims that Creative fixed this issue, and some claims that it still exists, does some of you have experienced problems with the ZMP?

    Since there is no definiti've answer from Creative regarding this issue, I plan in the interim to keep my headphones plugged in as much as possible. My long term solution is to purchase (for approx $5.00) a 3.5 mm male/female headphone jack and use it as the sacrificial phone jack. This way I can remove my phones as much as I like. I am not going to take the chance. I think the long term solution is the way to go even if they fixed this problem. Over time the phone jack is going to loose some connectivity due to repetiti've use. This in turn creates an annoying audible noise picked up by your headphones. Just a thought.

  • Where is the Firmware for the Zen Sleek Ph

    Hi,
    I've been having problems with my Zen Sleek Photo ever since I bought it 2 months ago. Every so often it would freeze on boot-up, so I would have to reset it with a pin to get it to start up. This morning it started going really haywire so I decided to reload the firmware - of course, my disks are at home and when I looked on the creative site here at work, there was no sign of any firmware for the Zen Sleek Photo (it's almost like Creative don't realise this product exists!). Anyway, where can I download the latest firmware?

    I think Creative should add the Sleek Photo to the player list in downloads and add the latest version there (I have version .0.0e). I ordered my player in December (for Christmas). There are a few issues that I have addressed in my "A few annoyances with Zen Sleek Photo 20GB (Request)" thread.
    Sadly there has not yet been an update to fix the artist listings etc. as mentioned in my thread
    I got in contact with another Creative Zen Sleek Photo user who also li'ves in Switzerland and has the same problems (tracks not been sorted correctly even with correct ID3 tags, which work in many many Windows applications).
    By the way, sadly the Sleek Photo gets a load of dust under the screen too, unless you are very careful. I have been unable to remove most of the dust even using compressed air! I would rather not have to get it replaced because of this (unless Creative makes a slightly new casing model to prevent dust under screen) as I would probably end up paying rather a lot for postage (it's going indirectly through another company)
    I hope there shall soon be a firmware update addressing these things,
    Thanks for any response to this,
