A440, You said I could put in a disc and hit rec/pause then go into the menus. one other question, I read that with another recorder, you can hold down the pause button then hit record. With my n707, can I hold down the up-arrow part of the joystick thingy, and while holding it down, press record? I just wonder, since if someone's going to read the display to me before we leave, I don't want their voice on my recording. Thanks, Cheryl

Hi. Thanks for the welcome. JAWS, the screenreader I use, is pretty good with most things, it just won't do graphics or pictures. As a result, I'm using the loFI version of the forum when I read it, as I can get around it faster. I just wish that version had the reply and new topic butttons, which I don't seem to be seeing unless I use the full version. If there's something I'm missing, please fill me in Thanks again, Cheryl

ah, that makes sense now. Would you be willing to do me a huuuge favor? Would you, or someone, be willing to write out key sequences for me? Someone has written out the menu structure, but it'd be nice to know how to do all of this stuff. If you can/have time/feel like doing this, I'd appreciate it. you can email this to me, as most people probably wouldn't be interested. My email addie's in my profile, or should be, but if not: cheryl@the-jdh.com Thanks for all of your help.

thanks. With that record position, if I record for a bit, then pause, then record again, I'd just be recording right at the point where I pushed pause, so it'd just add on to my last recording, right? Sorry, now i've just confused myself. oi!

hi. I've got just two more questions. If I do all thesettings beforehand, then record for a bit, then pause, will i have to do all the settings over again? I really hope not. Second, when you talk about using the wheel to put the mic level to fifteen, what wheel are you talking about? only round thing I see is the joystick? arrows? whatever you wanna call it. The volume control is just a two-button pad thingy. Sorry my description sucked, hope you know what I meant.

hi. Thanks so much, that helps tons. Um, only one question. I didn't get the remote with mine. So, could i just take hold off, hit the up-arrow thingy to unpause, then just put hold back on? Yeah, that price tag you gave makes me go ouch too, but maybe they'll be on ebay soon. Thanks again, Cheryl

hi everyone. I'm a new member, I just joined today. Anyway, i plan to do some recordings soon, but need some help first. Before that, A bit of background. My name's Cheryl, I'm from ontario canada, and i'm totally blind. I use a program to read the screen. Now, on to my questions. I bought a sony mz-n707 off of ebay, after asking around on some musical theatre mailing lists and being told that this unit, plus the sound professionals sp-bmc-2 mics give almost professional sounding recordings. I bought the mics, along with the sp-aten1, and now come my questions. My first recording will hopefully take place on the 30th of this month, at the fallsview casino in niagara falls. All I can tell you is this is a fifteen hundred seat ballroom, and we're sitting in the front row. I don't know anything about what kind of sound system the artist will use. my second recording will hopefully happen november 11th, at the cannon theatre in toronto. I'm going to see the musical wicked, and would like to record this. questions: 1. As i mentioned before, i have the sp-aten1, but I can't decide whether or not to use it. Anyone whose recorded either the musical wicked or leann rimes, please let me know if you used the attenuator. I can't afford a battery box right now, so the attenuator is my only option. 2. If i do use the attenuator and end up with quiet recordings, is there anything I can do to boost the volume once i record the files to my computer? I've been told that if I boost the volume I'll get a hissy recording, but since I don't know if there'd be any hiss to begin with, I'm not sure what to do. 3. I can't decide how to set my levels. Again, anyone whose recorded any of the above things, please help. thanks for any help, I'm sorry this turned out to be so long. Hope to hear from some of you soon, Cheryl PS, I need ansers before the 30th of this month, thanks!
