Thank you for those results Jeremiah they are very useful, I will add
them to the list.
It looks as if Sony are being a little more generous with their plug-in
power than they used to be, however I am afraid the WL-183 load is not
high enough to be sure, if someone did have a resistor (around 1000
ohms) and a meter that would confirm things.
