Never mind. Come back when your head will have cooled down with all those technical problems.

I have it. I prefer the MZ-R30 just because it is bigger and heavier.

Could be more simple than a direct recording with 1:1 speed if you import the MP3 tracks into SonicStage and use the Net-MD function. And instead of VLC you also could use foobar2000 + post-track-silence plugin or Winamp + wincue plugin to create a silence gap between tracks. But the SONY MDS-JE470 is not Net-MD... It could be boring to delete some silence-tracks between real tracks if you do not have the net-MD function.

Try with a credit card

I have a very powerful computer with a rather good sound car "crystal clear" on my Asus Fata1ty motherboard. I will try soon both analog out with mini-jack to mini-jack cable and optical out, using a DSP converter DSD64 to 24bit-48kHz for MD compatibility I suppose (if it work).

I have now many SACD on my computer that I would like to record on MDs from foobar200 + sourceforge.net Super Audio CD Decoder. What could you suggest : - recording analog or with a resampler plugin to get the 24bit-48kHz quality ? - using a high-end optical cable (Toslink to S/PDIF) rather than the basic one ? - buying a high-end DAC... The questions are the same with 24bit-96kHz albums.

Nice pictures...

In case you upgrade Windows (8 + 8.1 + 10)

If Jim is "still there", it is safer to send him a PM because I doubt that Jim still read the forum as often as before.

Precisely, the others Hi-MD recorders are only allowed to upload what THEY have recorded themselves on a MD or an Hi-MD ( audio recorded from microphone or line input ). I suppose they are able to make the difference between THEIR recordings and old ones. I have never tested this so maybe there are subtilities.

The RH1 and his brother the M200 ARE the only way to transfer non Hi-MD files (SP, MDLP) back to your PC.

What is this middle plate ?

or a JA3ES-pro...

Type R or not, you can easily record on a type R unit and then listen the MD at the best with all these ES units. Sadly the JA333ES is not type S.

It is not clear where is the JA33ES among the others. Let us say it is just under JA555ES and that it has like the JA555ES an "analog" sound. JA50ES is consider being more "analytic" than the JA555ES. JA333ES is the alien among them being the only MDLP (not typre R) unit. Clearly a good choice if you can buy it.

Save your money, just format the classics MD to Hi-MD. I have 3 Hi-MD units but I have choose a full compatibility between all my units (SP, MDLP, Net-MD, Hi-MD) and I am fixed to SP for my recordings except for my dozen Hi-MD discs.

Glad for you and azureal. The battery is also new ?

Myself I'm not able to do it (two left hands)

Well you just reinvent the oldie 3V external charger...

Your battery is dead but I suppose (I have the RH1 not the NH1) that you can still use a (small) USB charger for mobile phone.

Jim Hoggarth was the last UK (sadly for you) member who had an as if "semi professionnal" MD repair activity here on this forum. It seemed that his health forced him to stop this so helpful for us job. Anyway, Jim had said that Hi-MD was not his favourite. NGY is a recent member who maybe can give you a help.

That make me rethink of what phamcu (vietnamese elctronic engineer) told me: "There are no spare parts in VN, I cannot buy your MZ-RH1".

totally :>( no use at all

Aaaarrch, kaputt, Ya But du bist gut technizian ar zo nicht ?
