mmh,.. As you wrote you already tried to record with the R2 itself. I think this is the best test you can have to separate if it's gone or not Another try would be to have a MD recorded (for example with 3 Tracks) with the Nh700 in SP (with its analog or digital in). But this should result in a similar disc like the Sonic Stage option. You said you hear a whirring noise. Does the disc spin? or does it feel that the head is moving? So if not you can try to lubricate the headslider with a sewing machine oil (or comparable). I hope this old buddy is coming back

Thanks Avrin, This thread is been a while, but I really appreciate your discoveries on the RH10. I love that device and the odd limitation of non-SP-Mode recoding was annoying me a lot. Cheers and keep us updated if something new occurs Lutz

Hi Principito just have the same trouble My HDD crashed and I installed everything from the scratch on a new HDD. Now I can't open my analog recording (mostly LPs) anymore. I might have the possibility to start the old HDD again for some seconds, does anybody know if there is a file or something else I could replace on the new SonicStage installation to recover my license?

This is a example about the relation between Soft- and Hardware. The biggest advantage of MD Decks are the better D/A conversion and better preamps for the analog-output. This does more effect to the Sound than the difference between Hi-SP and Sp. And Of course they improved the Sound for lower bitrates. A comparison between Sony 940 or 980 (SP) against the Onkyo 133 (HI-SP) would be very interesting

I'm not shure but think with the EU restriction it's about 3mw and without it (which is pretty easy to change ) it's about 5mW. This sounds poor compared to your figures about the I-audio. But it is enormous, even much more than you can use with normal headphones, realy believe me. I don't know what this figures about the output can realy say about the volume of the Output, but I thought my older MZ-R30 provides about 10mW output and it is has much lower volume than the Rh10. Before deciding technical specs against another, have a try with both units. You will see that the Rh10 provides more volume than you can tolerate ** edit: R30s output is 5mw, but its lower anyhow.

Yes I thought so too. but I read about a difference in the German minidiscforum and wondering about it. He wrote about more detailed sound with the Rh10 compared to the Rh910. And more neutrality in the lower Frequencies with the Rh910. Wich is could be a good behaviour when you use it often on your Stereo System. For my opinion the Rh10 sounds Great, but compared to many MD Decks he provides a slightly bassy and less detailed Sound. For Portable use I'm realy in love with it but connected to my Stereo I miss a Digital out, this feature would nearly been able to get over the gap of Hi-MD Decks.

Of course I can Understand your easy setup and I'm shure it can satisfy. But for me it can't replace a real Deck. I realy enjoy the usability of my S39 Deck although it plays no Hi-MD and the Sound of course. It's much better than my RH10. How do you set it with the Rh910? Or is it related to the Music you're playing. and incidental, do you have experience with an sound difference between Rh10 and Rh910 I heard they are diffrent, but never had a Rh910. **

I suppose that you tried it with different Hi-MD discs. And the Media could be exlude of the problem. Send it to your Sony-Service, it seems to be broken Maybe your motor failed or whatever. They will fix it... And don't worry about the EQ Hack, this won't harm your Porti good luck

Thats perfect, a big improvement.

Thanks for your reply, but does it also effect if the Material is analog/digital recorded stuff from the Rh10?

Hi Forum its an easy Question about DRM wish is maybe answered a lot since SS3.4 is released. but its hard to find with the search function and I hope someone could help me out. I am recording alot radio-mags with my Rh10 in Hi-SP, after I cut out some Songs with the Unit itself (loving MD for that )and transfer the Songs into SonicStage. Now I want to collect them all on one extra playable Hi-MD disc. My Question: Is it possible to tranfer this Songs again into any SonicStage installation? I like to erase the Songs after I put them onto the Hi-MD. Or is it only posssible if I reconvert them into the same bitrate like it was the times before? thanks

Nice idea from bland10000, I realy like it. But it could be more confusing than anything else.. I would vote for Hi-SP 352 or HI-EP for "extra"play

And are your Live events mostly on days with bright weather and it's not going into dark? If not buy the Rh10 because the OLED Display is much more than a nice feature if you want to record in dark surroundings. It's one of the biggest improvement compared to the 1.Gen Hi-MD.

Yes, it seems to..

Yes.. the only "Weird" thing I did was using a lot other Programms during the faulty upload. I'm not shure if my Ventor can help me with that. I will have a look and if this comes up a second time I'll return the Rh10. But for the future i'll let the PC just running SS while uploading files over 60min. What's about your experience in Uploading Tracks or Groups wich contains more than 60 min. of Sound Material?

for shure i did a lot of editing on this stuff i wanted to upload. But i did it the same way like i did many times before, without any similar problems. at your Solution, I'm not able to play my Tracks with Sonic Stage. The file list left blank after inserting the disk and there is shown an errormessage : Disk is not playable and must be initialised...

Thanks Martin, but i don't think that it depends on my Rh10. I reinsert the Disc much times and i also cleaned the Hi-md up. But still there left this errormessage. In the Explorer i'm able to put Windows Data on it or create folders and so on. But There is no contact to my Audiofiles anymore. Looks like the MDfile system is damaged. sers'

I was trying to transfer a Group of analog Line-in Recordings to my SS Library. It was about 2Hours of Sound Material and while the transfer was going i did a lot with Photoshop and Illustrator and let SS in the Background working. This seems to be a mistake because the transference stopped and left me with an 1GB Hi-md wich is now not playable anymore. The Recorder (RH10) displays the Errormessage:"Cannot Record or Play" After, it wants to reformat the whole Disc to restore its functionallity. Does anyone knows something about? Is there anyway to bring back my lost Audiomaterial? Thx e

Thanks Low Volta! That's a shit. will taste that "Fake" so..

Finaly, I'll receive my Rh10 in a few days. But could anyone explain me the Sp feature with the RH10 again? I read a lot about the unit but can't get this thing with "fake-SP" 1. After they cut the build in SP encoder out of the RH10. Isn't there any way to get a real sounding and in every older device playable SP on the Disc? unbelievable!! if it's no: 2. are NetMD units able to transfer real SP to discs? Thanks for reading my "PC<>MD amateur" question

HI Kurisu! So everything stays as supplied before not able to variate the treshold for trackmarksilence is a pity... I will give "TOC Cloning" a try, thanks for the link

Hi Forum I'm using the MDS-S39 for about 3 1/2 now. I bought it used at Ebay and it reached me without the org.User Manual. Whatever, cause recording and editing with an MD Deck is nothing you have to read something about. So I missed no functions coming with my S39. But last week I read about the S39 in the Equipment Browser that it must have amazing features like: - digital recording level control (with fade in and fade out) - User settable LEVEL SYNC threshold - TOC Cloning link: S39 at Minidisc.org/EquipmentBrowser three superfine features I missed a lot (especially the dig. level control). So I Downloaded the org. User Manual and enjoyed the lecture. But no Way of setting the Digital reclevel, the Sync threshold or the function of TOC cloning. So I have to thing the Information on Minidisc.org/gearbrowser is wrong or I can find here someone who can teach me what I have to do for using this nice features. Is it something about Service Mode? Thank a lot all MD-Fans hope that s/o knows something about it. greetz!

oh come on... these are real simple questions and i wish to know the answers... So please if there's somebody with an 2G Hi-MD.... ..tell us about the editing capability of the Hi-MDs. to 1G owners: how is it with your devices? Does titling and editing of all MD Formats work without any limitations ????? :-)

mrsoul and Jonny Minidisc Can one of you post here a little picture of the Display while recording with manual level settings? I am interested in how the recordlevel is displayed.

I've read about the RH10 that it is not able to record directly (Line and Mic) in the old MD-SP Format. That's Pity.... but you have the possibility to record in SP by using Sonicstage or Simple Burner. .. that's something!! My Questions: 1. Is it possible to edit older MD-SP Discs (erase,combine,divide,move..) with the RH10? on the device and via PC? 2. Are we able to write the Tracktitles of any MD Format via PC? Thanks a lot!
