being a newbie to him-md, i assume running it in NT MD more means trying to edit the name of an atrac3 (sp, lp2, lp4) track on the rh10? so it just doesn't function properly when trying to edit the name of pcm or atrac3+ tracks?

firmware updates via the web would be a perfect supplement to hi-md and would make it much more competitive! i certainly hope this is the type of fix that's in the works

ahh, that's good to hear! i just received my rh10 and am relieved to hear that there will be a fix for the problem. that makes me more confident that i made the right choice. i think i'll open it up & get going on the learning curve, then two days until concert recording time!!! looking forward to updates regarding the character input issue, as it'll help when i'm recording different acts at concert time. thanks! nikolaus

so after searching a bit on this, i came across a few references to this issue here. one mentioned that this problem doesn't arise with the japanese rh10. one mentioned a firmware hack that resolved the character pallette issue but lead to some new problems with editing. i just ordered a us verions rh10 (which should arrive tomorrow ) and am disappointed to see this problem. i'm hoping that you can help us find some resolution with this, kurisu - via your friend at sony. having had previous md units, i know they didn't allow you to load new firmware, but shouldn't it be less of an issue with the hi-md units? they're drag-n-drop capability seems perfect for loading up new firmware...just like an iriver imp mp3 pcdp. it won't be a deal breaker for me, but i certainly would like to have a fully functional unit!
