I've got one of these units as well. Probably my favorite MDLP player.

Glad to see you guys and MarC swapping info.. MarC has been here for us MD users for a long time. Keep up the great work guys!

Sony has been known to be able to recover Hi-MD material. If it was NetMD/MDLP I could help you out, but because of encryption keys used for Hi-MD, only Sony can work with Hi-MD (as far as I know). Good luck!

Definitely low mic sensitivity. I have done my fair share of train field recordings.

Chris G might want to buy yr unit from you... J/K Not sure about that specific unit ATM--and this may be a silly question-- but did you go into the menus and check the equalizer?

eek,,, that's a bit frightening... though I guess the price we all pay inevitably for using mechanical devices. sorry to hear though, i'd be heartbroken.

Keep in mind that you won't be able to upload anything you recorded with your N707 using any Hi-MD recorder, you need to use the RH1/M200. Other Hi-MD units will upload Hi-MD recordings just fine, but the RH1/M200 is the only one that will upload older NetMD/MDLP/etc. recordings. http://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?showtopic=7070

I've uploaded the full 4.2 here for the time being: http://drop.io/4eod1ht You'd do best to completely delete 4.3 (including registry entries if you are comfortable finding and deleting them). Before you do so, be sure to back up anything you have in SonicStage... 1. Uninstall 4.3 via add/remove programs 2. Delete the following folders: "Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data/Sony Corporation/Sonicstage" "Documents and Settings/All Users/Sonicstage" "Program Files/Common Files/Sony Shared" "Program Files/Sony/Sonicstage" "Program Files/Sony/Personal Audio Driver" 3. Delete the following registry keys: 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Sony Corporation/Sonicstage' 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Sony Corporation' 4. Make sure your AntiVirus is temporarily disabled, and reinstall using 4.2 5. Enjoy! -Aaron EDIT: The installer was grabbed from this site awhile ago, but to be safe there are various online single-file virus scanners available if you would like to scan the file for viruses prior to installing. I know disabling antivirus can be nerve-racking. ...Alternately you can just point yr antivirus to the downloaded file prior to disabling it to install... EDIT 2: If you still encounter the issue, perhaps try reinstalling/upgrading Windows Media Player?

4.2 is yr best bet if you can find it. Many ppl have reported problems with 4.3 on anything other than Vista.

I've been in the same boat, so to speak... Since then I've just uploaded everything right away and done all editing afterward...

You would need to use an RH1/M200 to do the uploading... As this is the only unit that will upload MDLP recordings... This is provided the tracks weren't transferred to the disc via SonicStage, in which case you are out of luck without using some TOC Hacking / cloning (not a particularly easy task, especially with the NH900). EDIT: Check out some of the links in my signature area for more detailed info...

Let us know the Operating System you are using (XP, Vista, or otherwise), as well as the exact version of SonicStage ... 4.2, 4.3 etc... -aA

Is the disc recorded in NetMD or Hi-MD format? TOC-Cloning only works with NetMD formats... Don't blame ya for not wanting to mess with a perfectly good unit. If it's NetMD I can help you with recovery using one of my own units if need be.

thanks bobt!

i use cassette recorders (and the cassettes) for experimental sound works ("music").
