I have noticed this also, however my EX71s are not much older than my EX81s so I don't think it's related to the age of your EX71s. The sound is far more pleasant.

A question for those in the know about the MZ-DH10P... Is the camera in the DH10P a CMOS type (like in most camera phones), or a CCD type (like in many digital cameras)? Because the former does not provide very good image quality regardless of the resolution.

Yes that mostly works, but you may find digital errors in your audio files once you've ripped them, especially in those tracks from the beginning of the CD.

#2: Go to Tools-> Options... then "Location to save recorded files", I keep library in a non-standard location myself. This won't move the files that you previously recorded though, you need to use the backup tool for that.

I get round this by recording in real-time from the optical out of my Playstation 2, do you have anything with an optical out such as a DVD player, or a portable CD player?

*Sigh* I'll leave this up for another week. Here you go Simple Burner 2.0.04.18080.

Edit: Whoops, damn connection.

I've never heard of this before, but it does sound like the remote control. However the MC11EL was never designed for that unit, it was originally supplied with the R900 back in 2000.

I've sent the zipped installation files to you.

This does indeed sound like your battery has reached the end of it's useful life, I experienced this myself not so long back with an R900. That battery type is relatively common fortunately, but since I don't know where you are on this ball of rock flying through space, I'll point you here and here in the vague hope of being helpful. Edit: And here as well.

Sonicstage 2.3 should work with SP1 as long as you've got the Windows hotfix for fixing the OpenMG problem. This hotfix equally applies to Sonicstage as it does to OpenMG Jukebox. It may be a good idea to get rid of OpenMG Jukebox totally before installing Sonicstage because OpenMG Jukebox leaves remnants that interferes with the Sonicstage installation and (from my experience anyway) prevents Sonicstage from working even if you do the upgrade. If you can't find a full installation for SS 2.3 then try to find 2.1 then upgrade to 2.3 from there, I found this a more painless upgrade path.

I'll try it this way. Edit: I hope everyone got this Simpleburner 2 version who wanted it.

If somebody would like to PM me with somewhere to upload the archive of Simpleburner installation files then I can upload the zipped installation files, then that person could figure out a means of distribution. I have no means of hosting the file myself. I can also email the archive to somebody. The archive is slightly under 2Mb.

I had a rumage around on the Sony Asia Pacific website and I couldn't find Simpleburner 2. I only found the Connect free Sonicstage and the Wav Converter. The version of my OpenMG Secure Module is also 4.0.05.10290.

Yes it came with my NH1, which came from Singapore.

This is the version that came with my NH1, which came from Singapore. So it might be an Asia-Pacific thing perhaps.

They are pretty good consumer-level ear-phones. The E888's don't over emphasize bass like the EX70/71/81 family. But they provide very little insulation from the outside world, and I find them a little uncomfortable after wearing for an hour or more.

I have PCM downloading also on Simpleburner 2 (version 2.0.04.18080 incidentally), it's probably version dependant.

You are correct, but I think it depends which version of Simpleburner 2 you have perhaps, I have version 2.0.04.18080 and does it provide the PCM option (and I use it incidentally).

Hi Well, judging by the CES picture there isn't NH1 replacement amongst them. They all appear to be NH700 to NH900 equivalents. But if you can wait, I should until a feature list appears, then you can make an informed choice whether to hold on or to get an NH1.

I'm not familar with that mainboard (it's a NF2 isn't it?). It might be that the Dolby Digital encoding is on, this would prevent you from recording from the optical SPDIF. The option is probably buried in the control panel applet that accompanies the audio drivers, I don't know exactly since I don't use my onboard audio.

Hi Are you using the software that came with your NH600 or is it a combination of the software that came with both NH600 and your Discman. If the latter is the case I suggest remove all the SonicStage / OpenMG / Simpleburner software, and then install it all from one source, your latest source, from the NH600 CD-ROM.

The ATDATA file expands or contracts when you add or remove music files to / from the disk with SonicStage etc. so it's possible to store other computer files on their at the same time if there's the space that is.

As I understand it is the ATDATA file that contains the music data. I think all the files in the HIMDHIFI folder provide a file system for the music data (which sits on top of the FAT file system), which is only readable by the Hi-MD unit and SonicStage (and Simpleburner etc). As for being unable to defrag the volume, I think its because due to the ATDATA file being so large that there is insufficient room on the disc to rearrange this file.

There is another issue here, defragmenting a disk causes a lot on stress on the recording head (as a result of the constant reading and writing of the files that are moved), and therefore shorten life of the recorder. So in the long run it may not be worth it.
