Those TDKs are among my absolute favourites.

I was wondering if they had discovered perpetual motion, actually...... but didn't want to spoil things by my scepticism. Bought some HQRP (not labelled 3000mAh) a while back and they seemed to be ok but not DOUBLE the capacity. Beware purveyors of snake oil, I guess.

Hi guys You may see this behaviour with a lot of sites, as this is what you may observe in the event that SIF changes its address whilst you are browsing or between visits (the second of which you attempt to resume earler acivity). I've been seeing it a lot lately with things like eBay, paypal. I think (but not sure) that this is a consequence of sites being in the cloud. Not sure how some DNS get around this; in my case it's clear that my own local DNS server doesn't signal my browser of the change, so I end up doing "ipconfig /flushdns".

I bet y'all forgot about this My original plan was to get the MDM7 fixed myself (the usual belt problem but I verified that it plays and records MDs just fine), but it looks like I won't make it to Sunny Surrey until at least September. It's way too heavy and too much of a nuisance to be posted, but if you UK-resident MD gurus want it, it could be picked up. I saw it and it's in better condition than the unit I have here at home (which is incidentally a JPN version). The CD was very slow to play but it was stored somewhere quite cold and I bet just taking inside would make quite a difference. It even has the tape deck that goes with it, TX-MD595, complete with the interface box. Currently we don't know where the remote is. But it's pretty clean, and apart from the belt and/or possible CD issues (I was able to play a CD after it warmed up), is in excellent shape. (*Note: there's also an MDS-S707 which I didn't think was of any particular interest. But the speakers and tape deck go with the main unit, they should stick together, I think).

Yeah, it's dated to expire on something like 31/Oct if you take a look. There must be a setting......... https://www.technipages.com/google-chrome-bypass-your-connection-is-not-private-message

I think I may be the one that (indirectly) caused this. I am the proud possessor of its previous incarnation which is a simple 1->2 Toslink splitter, designed and built by Kevin. The idea of adding the direct (coax) out is great, too. But I am happy with my gizmo regardless.

Today after many weeks of waiting, I finally got a battery for my NW-ZX1 (as opposed to NWZ-ZX1, which does not speak ATRAC). With quite a fight to get it in the case (it was a teeny bit oversize) and a considerable effort to get the terminals correctly soldered (all the while wondering if I was going to melt the circuitry to death), it finally came up and started charging. They sold me a slightly higher capacity battery than the original, which is excellent, and it only cost about $20. Apart from the original one (the unit was second hand) this must be the third or fourth battery I tried. None of the previous ones would both charge and hold a charge reliably. Finally (touch wood) something that functions as it is supposed to. I think the key is the third lead (white) which obviously passes sensor information (to or from, I've no idea) between device and battery, as I read somewhere that the different versions reported different information. Be that as it may, this one followed a normal charging pattern and seem to work.

I fear that those files are stuck. If they're ATRAC3+ there's more hope but I think the design of ATRAC3/NetMD was that it was a one-way transfer.

The cert is out of date, and if I remove the exception then I get the usual warning. But apart from that.....

I can at least post replies, but not pictures. I'll see about linking to the pictures I took.

Anyone in the UK who would be interested in one of these, let me know immediately. It forms part of my father's estate and is in very good condition. I personally have one of these and it's a terrific combo unit. At this point I need to check if it's got speakers but I think it does. I will also make sure the CD and MD both play (and I'm pretty sure the MD will record). I'll check everything else about it whilst here (for the funeral) such as the remote. I'm guessing it might need a clock battery. It's way too much hassle to send abroad. Best of all would be someone willing to pick it up from my sister's in Surrey. I'm thinking 80 quid.

I'll PM you. No great mystery, we simply haven't seen him for a while.

Jim had harsh words for this competitor of his, back in the day.

Indeed Has anyone else noticed eBay acting strange, page not rendering quite often?

There's no way the OWH is bust or you would not be able to see the track listing on the destination. This looks more like something in the sound path is simply not connecting through, as the data path and hardware look to be working To confirm, the disk you write with the NT1 has a table of contents and can be played in another machine (with no sound)?
-
Great, you got the driver, all is good. That's a 100V adapter. Are you in Japan? I didn't check but I didn't think there were many places outside Japan that used 100V mains. Kevin would have a better idea about this, but putting a 100V adapter in 120V (that's ours here, right now) might WELL cause some overheating possibly just in the power supply itself.

Indeed interesting. I gave up on owning a pro deck the day I got my Behringer 2496 Ultramatch Pro, which allows you to take any S/PDIF signal (coax or Toslink) and set whatever bits you want in it for output. Mind you, I don't have Kevin's use case (remote control in real time). -
Good morning Aaron. I need to understand something. Where is this sound (your recording) coming from? When you play a NetMD track, the sound cannot travel over USB to anywhere at all. You must connect either headphones or an analog cable to one of the two 3.5mm jack sockets on the back of the device. This appears to be a severe limitation for the NT1. See page 6 of the MDS-NT1 user manual. BTW no need to upload the manual, everything (Service and User manuals, both) at https://minidisc.org/part_Sony_MDS-NT1.html OTOH, if you can record something on it successfully, the recorded disk should play wherever you want. But..... this presumes that you got the connection TO the NT1 correct, flowing with USB data from PC to MD deck. How did you do that? Did you set up the 64-bit driver in Windows? If not, expect some very strange results..... Kind regards Stephen

I'm definitely here. A bit quiet as I am recovering from 3 weeks' hard graft after the ransomware attack (thankfully not my own systems). The only odd thing is, no sign of a PM (nor an email since you know my address). Try again? -
