Works like a charm for me. No problems so far. About 5 months of usage.

This was a small pub/bar with a makeshift stage in front of one of the long couches on one side of the room. Sound was mostly off the stage direct, with only vocals and mild amounts of the instruments on the PA. How far is mostly determined by where you can hear the best sound. Usually this is very close to the mixing desk. After that, irrespective of how loud it is at that point, you can use the manual rec level setting to get the peaks in between the -12 dB and the 0dB marks on your MD Recorder. I hope I've understood your question correctly?

Have begun download. Great work! Thanks.

Yeah, that would be uber cool. But, I'm sure people will then want to decide how many min left should trigger this. Some people may want it to trigger at 10 min left or something. So, it becomes very arbitrary if not completely flexible?

The one-point stereo microphone. I'm currently scrounging up to buy a decent set of binaurals... Hahahaha, indeed. I have the stereo microphones that have both mics on one single mounting. So, I guess I will have to scrounge up to buy a good pair of binaurals before I can rectify this.

Hi all, After owning my RH1 for the past 3 months, I finally managed to record a live gig. Lessons learnt from the evening out: 1) Try to position the mic at head level. 2) Get a good seat. 3) Prepare for the entire evening before hand. This includes knowing where you blanks are, how much time you have left on your current disc etc. 4) Always prepare for an encore. 5) A good source matters. If the sound engineer has mixed the output well, then 90% of your job is done. Have a listen: http://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?act=m...si&img=3526

What works great for me is this pair of tights that has a pocket sown in with a zipper at the back, level with the base of my spine (or slightly below that LOL). As it is flush against the body, and located at a place which doesn't swing much when you walk/run, it works great for me. Maybe you could try sowing in a pocket at this point?

Finally got around to hacking my RH710 after procrastinating on this for many months. However, I switched to 20 from A0 instead of 24, so that I could still edit track titles. Do I lose any functionality (or could any other problem arise) because of the 20 (US/Can) setting?

Wonderful news, thanks!

Another important query: I also have an RH710. Will SS 4.0 work just fine with that unit as well?

I've never heard this band before. What kind of music do they play? *scoots off to Wikipedia* Getting the torrent presently. 4 seeds and counting. Thanks.

Either way, i have to upgrade from my MDCF downloaded SS 3.4. Would you recommend one over the other? Or is the same whether I upgrade to the SS 3.4 that came with the RH1 or the SS 4.0? Also, any more things I should be doing beforehand (other than what I mentioned in the initial post)? THanks for your help Richyhu.

So, if I don't use Connect there's no problem right? MP3s on my computer that I import and transfer to an MD disc (80 min) won't be affected?

From what I understand SS 4.0 in combination with the RH1 achieves higher transfer speeds, is that correct? I really don't need SS 4.0 for legacy upload because I'm a Hi-MD era user. So, if the higher transfer speeds is not true, then I won't be upgrading I guess. What's a BSOD? And, if I may ask, why did you choose to upgrade?

I have SS 3.4 installed, and I plan to shift to SS 4.0 at the end of the month. However, I don't want to lost my library. I will back it up, and try to restore it. Is there anything else that I should do to prepare to change from 3.4 to 4.0? I already have: 1) Backup my SS library and save to a different disk to restore after 4.0 installation. 2) Uninstall 3.4 before installing 4.0. Anything else? Any registry cleaning or manual deletions necessary before installing 4.0?

What speaker outputs does the player have? Most I've seen have RCA outputs. Get an RCA - mini cable and go into the line in of your MD recorder. Mic-in is for unamplified inputs. THe speaker output of your turntable player should be giving you a line-level signal, in which case, you need to go into the line in and not the mic in. Also, it goes without saying, that you need to switch recording level to MANUAL and then set the recording level such that the loudest passage of music you are trying to record peaks well within the two sets of dots on your MD recorder's recording level indicator. Hope this helps.

To add to the above comments, I think using the LOW setting on Mic Sens will make the ambient noise less prominent on your recording. Are you using Mic Sens = HIGH? It's worth a try to turn this to LOW and use Rec Level = MANUAL and set the recording level so that the meters are peaking between the middle and upper dots on the MD's recording level indicator. Also, cardioid microphones usually reject ambient noise and are more suitable for voice recordings as you don't need to capture the entire sound spectrum, just the range of frequencies covered by the human voice. You could try out recording your own voice with different mics (shotgun, cardioid, omnidirectional) at a store, if they allowed you, to see the difference in recordings. I hope I am not unnecessarily repeating any information that you already know. Best of luck.

Hi all, I checked leibflea's store and the Li - Ion batteries listed there have only the MZ-NH1, MZ-NH3D, MZ-EH1, and MZ-DH10P listed as compatible models. Does this same battery also work with the RH1? Also, the seller seems to have multiple listings for Aus, and US, and the UK. If I belong to none of the above countries, which one do I choose?

Sounds a bit dubious, especially since it says that this RH710 can recharge through USB. The RH710 does not come with rechargeable batteries, and uses the standard AA cells. Also, it does not recharge through USB. I know this because I have one. Definitely inconsistent info...

I was just browsing through the RH1 manual again, and I noticed that under the Format function, it has notes that says: The Format Function: When formatting a disc: When I disc is formatted, the number of transfer authorizations for the transferred track is as follows: For 1 GB Hi-MD discs, the number of transfer authorizations for the transferred tracks is restored when the disc is inserted and the recorder is connected to the computer.For 60/74/80-minute standard discs, the number of transfer authorizations for transferred tracks decreases by one. To prevent the reduction, restore the transfer authorization by transferring the tracks to the computer again before formatting the disc.What the heck does that mean in English? Is there something that one needs to do before formatting a disc? This is different for 1GB discs and 80 min discs? (I have both) Please help.

I second that. Also, try two different recordings with: 1) Mic Sens Low + Rec Level in the higher regions. 2) Mic Sens High + Rec Level in the lower regions. You should get a reasonable idea which one sounds best for your needs.

Why is transcoding so bad? Yeah, it's 128. Good catch, my bad.

I rechecked this, and I was wrong. THe line out is indeed a high level signal, and may be achieved by volume - max. Though I don't know that this is true of the RH1.
