Those M-Audio BX5 D2 have professionnal connectors, XLR and TSR, so best thing to do is to get - 2 adaptators RCA to XLR if you don't find that RCA to XLR cables - or if you have a lot of money, a pre-amp with optical in and XLR out, or better a very expensive DAC like Naim . - if the TSR accept a classic audio jack, a minijack to minijak / adaptator (with your headphone accessories set) is Ok also.

I wrote the owner's name (member here), didn't I ?

Yeah ! No kill after all.

You will be a MD deck cold murderer

This is not the exact answer you are waiting for but in case you don't get it : if you have a Net-MD unit. Listen the MD using >> to the last seconds of the album and press T-mark. Then edit the MD with Sonic Stage and delete the small track you have created wyth the T-mark.

Good trick, I will be this on my own gumstick batteries as they do the same. Please feel free to find a similar trick for LIP-4WM...

same same

I am not sure that the Atrac version of the player have any matter if the record has been done with type R Atrac 4.5. Not sure but is this not just a question of the generation of the Digital-Analogic conversion ?

qualia017 can get 1000s of MD metal stickers, so why not one in gold or silver ? As this is so easy to get in Vietnam my own design, I say why not...

Now as my NH900 unit is back after a complete checkup by Jim it is time to try this trick. I have 5 gumsticks to revive.

One track of each will be enough !

You will need 2 of it to trade them for an MZ-RH1/M200 at any point Contact jonathanpotato, he may be of some help.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MiniDisc Audio data compression[edit] The digitally encoded audio signal on a MiniDisc has traditionally been data-compressed using the ATRAC format (AdaptiveTRansform Acoustic Coding). This is in fact a 'psychoacoustic' data reduction system. It omits some of the musical content. It is claimed by Sony that the content that is omitted is inaudible anyway. Some original sounds have been known to defeat ATRAC which introduces (typically) a crackle or whistle onto the data stream. ATRAC was devised for MiniDisc so that the same amount of audio a CD can carry can fit on a disc far smaller than the CD (which contains uncompressed 16-bit stereo linear PCM audio). ATRAC reduces the 1.4 Mbit/s of a CD to a 292 kbit/s data stream, roughly a 5:1 reduction. ATRAC was also used on nearly all FLASH memory Walkman devices until the 8 series but is now only used in Sony's MiniDisc devices (as of November 2008) as ATRAC is fundamental to the MiniDisc specification. Sony's ATRAC codec differs from uncompressed PCM in that it is a psychoacoustic lossy audio data reduction scheme and is such that the recorded signal does not require decompression on replay. Although it is intended that the reproduced signal may sound nearly identical to the original as far as the listener is concerned, it differs sufficiently that listening on a high quality audio system will betray the difference (other true compression schemes generally share this characteristic to a greater or lesser degree). There have been four versions of the ATRAC data reduction system, each claimed (by Sony) to more accurately reflect the original audio. Early version players are guaranteed to play later version ATRAC audio because, as stated, there is no processing required for replay. Version 1 could only be copied on consumer equipment three or four times before artifacts became objectionable (the ATRAC on the recording machine attempts to data reduce the already reduced signal). By version 4, the potential number of generations of copy had increased to around fifteen to twenty depending on audio content. The latest versions of Sony's ATRAC are ATRAC3 and ATRAC3plus, both of which are true lossy compression schemes and both require decompression on replay. Original ATRAC3 at 132 kbit/s (also known as ATRAC-LP2 mode) is the format that used to be used by Sony's Connect audio download store (now defunct). ATRAC3plus was not used in order to retain backwards compatibility with earlier NetMD players. In MiniDisc's latest progression, Hi-MD, uncompressed CD-quality linear PCM audio recording and playback is offered, placing Hi-MD on a par with CD-quality audio. Hi-MD also supports both ATRAC3 and ATRAC3plus in varying bitrates, but not the original ATRAC.

If you want another mode than SP, you can use SS. - LP2, LP4 - Hi-MD modes Using SS to get a SP disc will give you LP2 quality, even if the disc can be read by ALL MD players. So, to get a real SP quality disc, you must record in real time. Just use a special plugin to create two seconds blanks between tracks : Wincue in you use Winamp, Post-Track Silence in you use foobar2000. I use a Net-MD recorder (my JB980 deck mostly) to edit the MD (naming tracks and groups, and deleting silence tracks that sometime can be created)

Works with RH1, Motorola mini USB wall charger. I say netherless that as my pins have not been charged during a long time I do not have now a lot of success with this Motorola charger (could be faulty also).

Except SP only deck with type R ?

The Nh1 need its charger, does this explain why direct a USB plug will not work ?

I got the same cable in Vietnam. For my phones. And yes, It can charge my RH1.

Exactly what I am in front of. My 2 RH1s and my NH900 have spent more than one year in France + UK (Jim Hoggarth) before I could put the gumstick batteries inside once again (1 Sony original + 3 fake Sony chinese for the RH1, 1 Sony original + 4 Panasonic for the NH900). Nope for the NH900, Not one has accepted to be charged again (not sure that the batteries themselves are the problem) using the NH900 on his stand. But I did not try everything (another wall charger for example). I am lucky because the NH900 accept the AA at his side. Any idea ? Only one fake Sony chinese has problem to charge. I am afraid for the RH1 : what will happen if the batteries failed ? If new ones will not be available, the only solution will be to have a portable external charger (with a very short USB cable).

As the RH1 and the M200 have a too sensible and fragile joogle, I prefer to do that my other units, specially my decks (even if after that I choose a Hi-MD recording format).

This kind of thing exist everywhere in the street in Vietnam since everyone has a phone. Plastic has been used for years to protect any electronic unit (brand new and "sida" - second hand - units were sold totally wrapped years ago) when shops were directly opened to the street. The vietnamese even used to let all stickers on their TV, their fridge, glasses (!), etc.

For this topic, this is all about lenses for decks
