Ok - I haven't been able to test this on 3.4 yet as it appears it is now pretty much nowhere to be found. However what I did do was this. I installed 3.0 JEB Overseas Edition from the disc that came with my DH10P. I then upgraded this to 3.3 from the Sony Vaio UK ftp archive. I ripped a cd and transferred to a re-formatted 80 min disc without initializing the disc in SS. Titles showed up perfect on the X-B8. I then appended another album to the same disc and edited some titles on the first still no problems. Simple Burner also has no problems. On another machine I did the same but upgraded to the UK version 4.0 and got the titles issue. Again I have to initialize the disc in Sonic Stage before transferring to Hi-MD for titles to show ok. This again means you cannot append albums to the same disc as the titles will be messed up again. Simple Burner is still fine. This does not get changed when updating SS. I think therefore that something changed in 4.0 as regards titling and Sony must have stepped outside the parameters of the Hi-MD titling format in some way that leads to titles not displaying right on non Sony equipment. I can't test this on 3.4 yet Osiris but if someone wants to setup an .iso download of the version of 3.4 that comes with the RH1 I'll be happy to test it. If it does work in 3.4 that would be nice as 3.3 doesn't rip direct to 352k...

This system comes in 2 boxes. One for speakers, the other for the main unit.

Can you guys confirm you are both using SS 4.0? If so I'm going to regression-test this on 3.4 over the weekend. (I've had to replace the hard-drive on my laptop and haven't put SS back on yet). I recall I was using 3.4 when I first got my X-B8 and don't remember having any issues. Meantime the workaround that definitely worked for me was to format the disc in SS 4.0 before transferring.

As the EH70 / EH50 is a Japan only model, if you don't live in Japan your best bet is to import one.

Thanks for that "Oz" - I forgot about updating this topic. Indeed it also works fine on the X-B8.

Is your titling issue the same as this? http://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?showtopic=16704 I'm pretty convinced it was something that changed in SS4.0 as I only have experienced it in that version. Simple Burner *seems* to be ok for me.

Not sure if others were aware of this - but Lik-Sang a Honk-Kong based reseller of games and consoles is saying it has been forced out of business by multiple Sony lawsuits brought against it for exporting Japanese edition consoles to Europe and the US (specifically PS3 & PSP). This is sad news indeed. Even more interesting is the claim that many Sony Europe execs actually used Lik-Sang to import consoles themselves.... Story at www.lik-sang.com

Currently playing "Gitaroo Man Lives". Hilarious stuff..
