  1. i have tried it too. not possible. the dvd that i tried to record to md was protected. but, you can bypass the protection (i did it), but if you do that you cannot set the recording levels manually.

    hope that helps

  2. hello

    it's me again

    take a look at this post

    http://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?showt...gaps+of+silence

    on one of the latest post of the first page of the topic you will find a way to know if the disc is defective.

    look, i experienced the problem of gaps very randomly and even sometimes i recorded the whole disc and then i playback and there were no gaps of silence, so i contact sony ..bla bla bla.... my unit was defective.

    so be carefull , and keep making test with different discs because youor unit maybe defective.

    bye and good luck happy.gif

  3. hello

    i had the exact same problem as you. i only had that problem with 1gb discs and the gaps of silence were randomly placed. so, i contact sony chat support and phone support a pair of times. one guy at the chat support told me that i should exchange my unit. so i did it. i request for an exchange online. i sent my unit like 2 weeks ago to united states (i'm in chile, south america) and i'm waiting for the exchange. if you have any questions i will help you.

    bye

  4. As I don't need mic-in or line-in, I think I should go for the NH3D cause it cheaper.

    But I really don't know what is the differents between NH1 and NH3D (beside mic-in and line-in)

    Anyone here please help, thank in advance.

    hello

    what do you want the unit for? if you're looking to edit music, it is not possible with the nh3d but if you want a unit just to listen to your downloaded songs you should get the nh3d. it seems that the construction of both units is very similar. tell me what do you want the unit for so i can help you.

    *note that only the nh1 has a lcd screen on the unit.

  5. hello

    i own a mzhn900. there is an available case from sony for all himd 1st generation portables that i own. the model is mdcas4. if you're in england you should take a look at amazon. the case has an arm strap and it's very comfortable. you should know that in this case you could only carry your portable minidisc and not even 1 disc because it's very little. you can take off the arm band and use it attached to your belt. i can say that it is very very comfortable and i'm pretty satisfied with it.

    hope that helps you

  6. hello Woodgnome

    congratulation for the topic. very informative.

    please i need your help . my mznh900 is having problems too. when i try to playback a rcording that i rec in a himd disc the songs have gaps of silence in the middle!. i did the test you describe too. same problem! so i think my unit is defective. i need you to tell me what to do for the exchange. i thought that if you send your unit for exchange sony would give you a refurbished unit. i think i'm wrong because i read in your last post that they will send you a new unit. please tell me everything i need to know to send my unit for the exchange (contacts, and all that stuff)

    thanks a lot

  7. How do you record? If it's software only, try recording via a microphone or optically via the optical in. Do a few tracks of that and see if it does the same just to rule out software.

    i tried with the optical input also. same problem. when the unit is playing back the disc it start to make a noise a little louder compared to the normal one. it sounds like the unit is having problems to read some data. but this never happens with the normal disc and neither with "all" 1gb discs, just some. what should i do?

    sebastian

    this happens to the same part of the disc . for example track 1 in second 10 has a gap of silence of 1 second.

  8. well... in fact i beleive these are unit related problems.

    I've had lots of problems with 1gb discs... somehow I managed to recalibrate my unit using the service mode. It was a heck to do it, i had previous experience with my mz r70 in this auto adjustment mode, so after a few days i was able to figure it out.

    It's something that i don't recomend to anyone, since we still don't have service manuals available for the units... After clearing the NV i had my nh700 completely dead for a few days. I've managed to recover it back, restoring some service mode values that i've read in a list made by the user aiox and running successfuly all the auto adjustment modes.

    After that i had no problems reading and writing 1gb discs. There was one particular disc that was almost full of errors, and with this adjustment i was able to fill it in, and copy the data back, and all the bits were in the right place (md5 hash checked!) smile.gif

    So, just a thought... i think that some units aren't properly adjusted, not the discs that are defective.

    hello

    thanks for the answer. what did you do? is there anyway you can help me?

    please!

  9. hello

    i own a mznh900 and i'm having problems recording on some himd disc. when i playback the recorded songs there are some gaps of silence in the middle of some songs. this is not happening with the old md 80,74,60 discs, only with 1 gb discs. i read a couple of weeks ago a pair of topics about this problem , but i want to know if anybody is having the same problem, or maybe my unit is defective?

    tell me your experience. please help

    sebastian

  10. That's correct. If you select SP in Sonicstage... you end up with LP2 rebaged as SP.

    As for line in recording, the general concensus is that SP is better, but only MARGINALLY so. There was a thread about ABX tests on SP vs. Hi-SP a while ago I believe - SP was the victor, but only by a very slight margin. You wouldn't be able to compare the two just on a single listen.

    If you have a Hi-MD, why not take advantage of what Hi-SP has to offer.

    i thought that in sonicstage 3 the sp mode is really sp not like older versions of sonicstage where you had an sp file but it was really a lp2 file. am i wrong?

  11. hello everyone

    i have a mznh900 and i'm recording some complete albums in 80 minutes minidisc. i want to ask you which format has the better quality : the old SP or HI-SP?

    ohh another question: is there anyway that i could edit my recordings that i downloaded from the computer with s.s 3 ? it doesn't matter if i have to edit them before i download to himd , but how?

    thanks

    sebastian
