When you use the optical sync recording you have no control over the recording volume level. I have been recording straight from my DVD player to my MD for the best quality. When I record from my PC using the Line-In I can adjust both the level in and the recording level. So with the recording level being unadjustable, I usually have the bass and treble turned all the way up to increase volume and add more bass and treble because a lot of stuff seems to be flat using the optical recording. I mainly bought my MD to do concert recordings as opposed to my main source of compressed audio. In my car where I listen to music the most I have a JVC MP3 head unit so I use MP3 most of the time.

Since you are just starting out with the forums, you should seperate them into permanent subjects i.e. Hacks, Programs, Recording, Problems, etc. instead of monthly news. I am sure someone here goes to VCDHelp.com, but they are a great example of a well organized forum board. Here's a link: http://www.vcdhelp.com/forum/index.php This will make navigation and finding specific topics much easier.

I was messing with the line out function yesterday. It seems that when you go to line out, the player basically strips all of your settings off and puts the volume at max. I have my bass set almost max. and my treble at max, when I used the line out instead of headphones it sounded very anemic. So, yes the function works properly, but whether or not it sounds good is based on your preferences when recording to your PC.

I looked at the Manual for the 900 and realized that I don't have the remote control needed to run that function.

I just used these instructions to hack my MZ-N707. Great job figuring this one out! The only problem is...I don't see how to use the adjustable playback speed (as if I'll ever actually use it). Everything else shows up as described in the menu except this. I plugged in the remote, but still nothing new. Thanks.
