NIGHTS

yeah Ive had the same problems. Im probably going to take it in for a service under warrantee tomorrow. lets just hope it relaly only does to 2-7 days (as the servicing shop claims) for it to get fixed

ABSOLUTE RUBBISH! Go and buy the Bose Triport with all new redesigned Super Hydrolic Interharmonic Termination headband assembly for added comfort and more BASS!!11!!

thats interesting, my charger is for the V3x outputs 5V 850mA I just assumed it was the same for all V3 models. it'll still work fine but perhaps it may charger a bit slower.

850mA according to the charger supplied by Motorola.

does the ms907 come with a foam windshield as well?

yep Ive been using my RH1 with the v3x charger since I got it. Im glad Sony put a standard USB plug on this unit, saves having a million chargers lying around the place

I second this, although I have only ever heard ATRAC 2.0, which sounded very tinny I'd imagine that ATRAC 1 would've been even worse. still I'd love to have an MZ-1 someday just as a piece of history, what are that chances of Sony actually still servicing those units?

if memory serves me correctly the eh50 and eh1 are player only units. I think essentially any MD unit by Sony that has a E before an a number e.g. E75, E900, E710 is player only. There is however the NH3D which is a download only Hi-MD unit with no screen and which comes with the 3line remote, although Im not sure if you can still buy it anywhere.

now THAT is very sweet... now all we need is a Hi-MD head unit that supports mp3 and Im sure someone'll stick that in their computer, and it shouldn't be too hard either if it's the correct dimensions.

how in hells name did you wipe out the EEPROM?? I seriously doubt anyone has managed to dump the EEPROMs of any MD recorders in the history of the format. Time to go looking for a new recorder I think

1. Well there could be depending on what recorder you're using and which version of ATRAC it has, you could definately hold a little more music on your disc using Hi-MD mode and uploading in Hi-SP. I dont think there's any difference in quality between the two programs, although I REALLY would like to have the option to encode at High Quality like the ATRAC plugin for Sound Forge does (it does actually make a difference). 2. Nope nothing new here, can only use 1 dsp at a time and that includes the dynamic normaliser, which kinda annoys me cause iI really need to use EQ and have that feautre going. So I manually replaygain every single track before I import it into sonicstage and then transfer it to my MD, so now I have every single track on my MD at roughly the same volume and I can use the EQ as well.

Sony = VAIO (PC platform) obviously Sony would want their products to interface with their own products a little more seemlessly than anyone elses, including Apple. Or perhaps it comes down to a slight arrogance from Sony's powers that be, considering all the stuff the Sony has created in the past I HIGHLY doubt it'd be very difficult for the engineers to create seemless compatability with Mac and PC.

THANK YOU

Hmm thanks for the tip... I dont suppose that little ferrite core could help with that could it? Sorry about that I guess Im just a tad bit anxious to see whether i should buy one or not as it'd make recording just a tad easier holding the remote instead of the actual unit in my hand when making a live recording (I kinda dont want to drop it )

anyone?

quick question: does anyone know if the mc40elk will display recording levels while plugged into the rh1?

hmm interesting. Well my RH1 has been behaving since I first posted this so hopefully it won happen again. But I think I'll definately be taking it to the service center if it keeps up. Luckily Sony HQ isnt too far from where I live.

Perhaps Sony has made some redesign of the charging circuitry used in the RH1. Perhaps they want to sell more batteries

Its good to see MD fans with such optimism . I also agree though, we're currently very lucky that Sony even decided to make the RH1 let alone keep the MD format going for so long considering it's rather fledgeling popularity among the general consumer.

Ok, so I recently got my RH1 after an agonising month long wait for the pre order to come in. Everything has been mostly fine and dandy (except for SonicStage, how does Sony expect THAT to compete with iTunes exactly?). Anyway back to my point: Occassionally the sound will just randomly drop out while Im playing back a song, no clicks, pops or noises etc the sound just stops. Then all I have to do is press pause and play again for everything to go back to normal. So my question is, is this some sort of undocumented 'feature' from Sony or should I be heading over to the service center to atempt getting this fixed?

I second that.. What was that about a 3 line remote Sony?

they also have on display there. I had a little play around with it there a little while ago, which kinda made me want my RH1 even more just a few more days....

So. Any news on Sony delivering yet?

as Ive never owned a sony portable recorder(yet), I cant comment on having these experiences but perhaps it's time to get it fixed under warrantee (if you still can).

if you want to play mp3 on your hi-md be aware that the 2nd gen units (RH910, RH10) have a very noticeable roll off of the high frequencies only on mp3 playback (perhaps just to make atrac3plus look that much better). Besides size and mp3 playback I dont really think there's that much difference between the first two generations. If sound quality is of real importance I suggest either save up for the RH1 (GREAT sounding unit btw) or, if size matters more, buy the RH10 (basically an RH910 with bigger OLED screen) and convert your songs to atrac3plus. To my knowledge the RH10 and 910 both use a standard USB mini plug on the unit. Personally I'd buy the RH10 just cause it has a really nice screen. But ive already pre ordered an RH1.
