    Sony Corp. will narrow the focus of its research and development to only promising areas such as next-generation video equipment, mobile phones and flat panel TVs,

    IF they kill R&D on MD, then Sony will screw themselves. The problem w/ MD/HiMD is that there is only 1 manufacturer--Sony, if they withdraw or withheld HiMD R&D, it will kill HiMD, and noone else will pick up.

  2. HELP !!

    I installed SS3.1 like described.. even downloaded WM9codecs.exe

    The installation completed.. rebooted the machine.. and it doesnt recognize my NH1 ???  mad.gif

    Anyone else facing the same problem..? Any solutions on the table ???  sad.gif

    that is exactly what happened to me. The solution is to eject your SS 3.1 CD in the shooting ranch, and scream "Pull".

  3. That may be it...  I could install it when I get home, but then I'd just install it on my desktop.  I was just hoping to get it working while I was here at work.  I may try installing the version that will be with my RH910.  We'll see if that sees my 600d.  (the plan is to use the 600d at home as a data drive, and bring the RH910 with me to work to use for music and video files when connected to my laptop)

    everybody has the same problem, and I'm using the NH1, the software doesn't see it. Go to the software support forum and read the solution.

  4. I have the same problem. SS 3.1 doesn't recognize you have installed your wm9codec.

    The only solution to fix this is when that error shows up again, it tells you in detail that SS is looking for a file under:

    document and setting/administrator/..............

    wherever the location that SS can't find that file. Copy that wm9codec in that exact location. That solves the problem

    However, the bad news is, SS 3.1 is a total piece of &**#$@^%^& sh*t, and it won't recognize my NH1 most of the time.

  5. I have a very similar problem or perhaps the same problem.

    After SS 3.1 loads up, it intermitently recognize my Hi MD NH1.

    The only thing I try so far is plug and unplug USB cable on a different USB port.

    It can then read my MD and its song content, but that is on a SP mode (the old 74 min. MD)

    Once I inserted my Hi MD media inside, it says:

    "Device/Media not Connected."

    Now, I have use SS 2.1 and it works fine. Is that lengthy solution w/ the german ver. the only way?

    As I only need SS to edit / label my song list. So can I just delete SS 3.1 and install SS 2.1 instead?

    I don't use SS for recording. I use my DVD sterero player thru an optical cable for MD recording. I don't have MP3, never do, I don't use CD-R.

    Clearly this SS 3.1 is a piece of sh*t. Correction a piece of @#!@&*%^ sh*t.

    Why would installing SS 2.1 makes it worse? Let me know before I preceed.

  6. SonicStage 3.0 happily supports Minidisc. Perhaps something is askew with your installation? Try re-installing the MD drivers. If that fails, please read the  stickied FAQs for help.

    EDIT: This should be in the software support forum.

    I'll repost this at the software support section. However, there is no MD driver, it is PnP. Never install any driver w/ SS 2.0.

  7. In the old ver. of Sonic Stage, ver. 2.0, I can edit the Group or delete a track on my Mini Disc.

    But I just finishing off launching the new ver. 3.1, it only support CD-R? What's the story w/ that?

    No matter what I do, it does not give me any option to read my Mini Disc, so forget about deleting or labelling those tracks.

    Does anyone has a link to Sonic Stage 2.0 ? I know 2.0 works because I was using it before. But I just installed a new hard drive and I erased 2.0 from the old hard drive.

  8. Stop the unit during playback (to be sure) to set the clock.

    The contrast adjustment feature refers to the RM-MC40ELK's contrast, not the on-unit LCD.

    Both can be accessed by accessing the menu from the remote (holding down the jog wheel for a sec), then scrolling down to OPTION in the menu.

    Thanks, I did it. Somehow I wasn't able to do it earlier w/ the main unit. Now I know there is nothing wrong w/ my unit.

    thank you very much for the info.

  9. I don't think the battery life is ever accurate. Ea. time the unit says there is say 5 hr. left, my battery indicator shows only 1 little section left, and there is no way that's 5 hr.

    I assume when the unit say 5 hr. or whatever absurd no., it meant the stand by time w/o playing the disc.

    1-You need to download WINRAR 3.40 (or latest ver)

    2-Download these files (you can see download links at below)

    3-Extract files into desktop with you winrar.

    4-Execute files after download process (you can see files for execution at below)

    the link with the dot...dot...dot doesn't work. It needs the full link typed out. With the dot..dot..dot..., it won't find the link.

    And the web site address doesn't work neither. It can't find it. http://qw-cx-ssd.sonypictures.com/

    Sony’s finally gotten around to adding native support for playback of MP3s to their MiniDisc players and then what do they do? They go right ahead and add something else that no one thought was missing in the first place: a 1.3 megapixel digital camera. Not that we’re complaining—we fully expect digital cameras to be jammed into everything possible— but it just seems a little late in the game for these sorts of “innovations.” Anyway, their new MZ-DH10P Hi-MD Walkman, which also has a small 1.5-inch color display for looking at all your pretty pictures, should be out in Japan soon

  12. Latest rumours doing the rounds in Japan are

    1. An MD camera will be released this year.

    2. An MD unit that takes two discs will also be released.

    3. Totally new software will be available to replace SonicStage.

    4. A new super HiMD (non backward compatible) of 5Gb capacity.

    As I said these are just rumours and probably unreliable. My main point is - Are we going to be disappointed when we finally get the details? In some ways I wish I was told nothing until the new units became available.

    1. That I can believe.

    2. useless

    4. Only good for new customer. I have 47 old MD, many songs are no longer able to duplicate, so I am stuck w/ a HiMD that support the old format.

  13. I have very similar problem on my Sony Cd portable player. They have these unbelievable spec. that the unit can play dozens of hours. But I can only use it 2 x approx. 2 to 2.5 hr. of each workout, say about 4 - 5 hr.

    As to my NH1, I charge it approx. once every 2 workout, again about 2 - 2.5 hr., because after my 2nd workout, the battery life only have the last light on.

    Although on the manual, it says 14.5 hr. on SP mode of MD. I can't see it came close to 14.5 hr. at all.

  14. For what it's worth, there is no way to generate an ACTUAL random number on a computer.

    There are some pretty fancy algorhithms that come real close to hiding the pattern but why go to such great trouble for a simple suffle routine?

    Has anyone tried turning off shuffle, skip a song and then turn it on again?  Maybe that will clear the seed.

    Never really gave it much thought.

    Well, even back in the old days when I do programming, random no. generator is not that hard to do. And I do agree there is no such thing as true random, but for say 20 songs or so, it is a very simple programming code to scan if any songs that was played by round 1 randomized generated again, then del. it and move to the next random generated no.

  15. Update: I don't think Sony ever change that random function bug. Today, I played the unit with 18 songs, some songs I skipped as I don't like them as much, and I skipped via the Fwd. button. In the end, the player repeats the other songs number as a 2nd round, BEFORE it finish randomizing the songs in the 1st round.

    For e.g., say it play and skip thru, 1,5,13, 6,2,8,9,10,3, etc.

    As I press the FWD button, the unit is already re-playing say, 5, 3, under the random function

    but it still haven't go thru songs like 12, 17, etc. for the first time.

    This is the very same bug as my MZ-R3, almost a 10 yr. unit. You would think for 10 yr. or so, sony can fix a bug, right?
