You'd be surprised to know how unstable in terms of voltage most PC USB ports are. So I think any device built to be charged via USB will be protected against damage by varying voltages. At least that's how a good engineer would do it, but you never know with Sony, right ?

Looks like some butchered swedish

I still don't get how to clone/create bootsectors on the Hi-MD to make it bootable. I extraced the data from a Linux LiveCD on a Hi-MD, now how can I get proper bootsectors on it?

That setting is to be made in the mp3 codec you use. You could use ffdshow for example and set it to resample.

have you tried removing the battery from the recorder, waiting a minute or two and then reconnecting?

could you take a few pictures of your unit?

you should have a look at http://koti.mbnet.fi/~gkos/gkosnet/gd-circuit.html it's pretty much self explanatory

Well the only thing you really need to know to build something like that is that the "play/pause" command is given to the player by closing the circuit between pin2 and pin4 on the remote connector with a resistance of 330ohms between both pins. Although you might want to put a second 5ohms resistor inline, otherwise variances in resistors might cause a drop below 330ohms and the command will not be recognised. You are aiming for somewhere around 335-345ohms. basic layout would be: pedal--------------------------pin2 | | 330ohms---5ohms-----------pin4

I built one of those once. Constructing remotes for Sony portables is very easy, anyone with basic soldering skills can do it. If you need any instructions on how to do it, I'd be happy to provide them.

What about emulation with wine? When I tried running the installer with it, it gave me the "cannot install on this windows version" error, but I am sure there are ways to get around this?

trying to figure out DSL - "damn small linux", that thing is a bit**

Same here. I'm gonna wait till there's an offline installer, since my home connection is very unstable.

My collection so far: The Matrix: Behind Enemy Lines: Stargate SG-1: Blade Trinity: Last Action Hero: The Art of War: Wimbledon:

Great. thx hope offline installer for 4.0 will be here soon

Hi there, quick question about the Sonicstage 3.4 Full Installer (and the coming 4.0): do I need any aditional components when installing on a fresh PC ? Like the personal audio driver? Or is this the only file I will ever need to get everything working?

Any word on an offline installer yet?

I just wanted to confirm that this hack worked without any problems on my rh710. Changed the value from A0 to 24 it was about 30 seconds work. I don't really use the extra volume, but the custom equalizer settings are great for clearing up low quality audiobook recordings. Thanks a lot!

Allthough I don't understand a word of what's written there, I sure can read the table -very usefull information- thx for the link MDfreak It also matches my obeservations of old "track mark" being new "group+" and old "pause" being new "group-"

I just disassembled an MZR30MP, hooked it up to some test gear and found the same resistor values as described here. They are: Prev/Back 1000 Next/Forward 3627 Pause 5156 Stop 7050 Volume - 8400 Volume + 9900 Track Mark 11900 Then I connected it to my 2nd generation Hi-MD player (RH710) and found out that: Prev/Back works 100%Next/Forward works, but it does not start playback when in stop modeStop, Volume up and Volume down work 100%Pause doesn't pause, but instead seems to jump through groups in inverse orderTrack Mark also seems to be group function now, it jumps from group to group in forward orderQuite interesting. Does anyone know what resistor values are needed for Hi-MD players to:PlayPause?? Would be great if you could tell me. I don't own a Hi-MD remote and therefore cannot measure the resistances myself.

Just to finish this thread: I bought the RH710 after all, because I got a sweet deal on a new one costing less than a used NH700. Got it today and I am very happy with it.

Hi, great service providing us with these icons. I modified one of the RH710 icons to fit with my RH710/L. Basicly changed the color to blue. Can I publish the icon here, or would it violate someones copyright on the original icons? EDIT: Ok then, here it is: You can download the .ico file from: www.yoda-143.de/rh710-03.ico

I just noticed another difference: the NH700 has USB 1.1 and the RH710 has USB 2.0 How does this affect up/download rates when copying music, or other data files to it?

Ok, so despite the RH710 being 2nd Gen and the NH700 being 1st the NH700 seems to be the better one, I'm gonna go for it then, thx

It would be really great if someone could give me quick advice on the NH700 vs. RH710 issue since there is an auction for an NH700 ending soon and I need to make a decision.

Hi there, I finally decided to buy a Hi-MD Recorder and was looking for one that features upload of line/optical-in recorded music to the PC, as I understand it there is the RH10, RH910, RH710 and NH1 that can do that. Is this right? Since I didn't want so spend a lot of money, I'd go for the RH710 then, any special advice you can give me about that unit? Oh and it would be nice if there was some hacked firmware that added features to it. Is there? //ADDENDUM: I am also looking at the NH700 because of it's Mic-In. What are the differences between the RH710 and the NH700 besides the former not having a Mic-In. Both can be fed music via USB, both can record music via line/optical-in (and mic-in for the NH700), both can upload the recorded music to a PC and both can be used as a mass storage device for .doc files and so on. Is all this correct?
