These kinda sets were not "designed to" run on DC. It's just that a line-operated power supply using half-wave (single diode) rectification
can run on either AC or DC. (If on DC, reverse the plug and nothing will happen).

The only thing I can figure is Emerson must have meant the set was transformerless.

Many transformerless designs used voltage doublers (with two diodes) and can't run on DC.
