XM-R2

JVC's only portable entrant.

Comes with a rechargeable battery (BN-R123), headphones and an adaptor for 100V supplies only. The LCD screen makes for very easy titling in either Roman or Japanese characters. The manual has no English at all, but the machine's labels and LCD messages are in English only. Odd. Nevertheless very easy to use. The LCD screen is touch-sensitive and there is a plastic stylus in the machine housing.

The machine takes 6VDC power at 800mA. There is a Sony multi-voltage adaptor that delivers at this level, the AC-E60LA.
