ASM1

Hi I've just got a new car and it has the obligatory 3.5mm jack point for connecting an Ipod or something similar to play through the in-car stereo. Now as the proud owner of both an RH1 as my main unit and a "backup NH-1" I'd like to know what I can use to power/charge the MD in my car. Would a Sony DCC-U 50A and USB cable be appropriate. Just noticed that the NH-1 has a strange shaped connector for charging on the cradle, but have looked in the box again and found a USB cable with the appropriate "end-bit" (go me scientific terms ). Advice much appreciated Andrew

Hi I'm thinking of transferring some of my Vinyl on to minidisc. I have an MZ RH-1, and the appropriate connectors to hook it up to my amplifier. I will be using 1GB discs, and may, if necesary transfer the music to PC for "tidying up" although I probably won't need to do this very much as I've had a listen and the vinyl seems very clean. Which recording mode should I use ? any other advice appreciated. Andrew

Thank you so much If it was a black one it would be perfect but still looks pretty damn cool

I have an RH-1 Bought it in January and am in the UK, thought it was about time for an upgrade from my trusty MZN-707 and couldnt be happier Its my first Hi-MD unit and am well impressed, although I haven't got my head round all of the features yet Bought an RM-MC40ELK remote for it almost straight away. Have since acquired a second HiMD in the form of an ebayed NH1 for either the Hifi in the living room or to take with me in the car - so the RH-1 stays in my flat lol. Funds wouldn't stretch to a second RH-1...I daresay I will get another one before they disappear completely (unless sony improve it and release another version) when I have the cash but at the moment alas no. Great bit of kit - I dont know why someone doesnt like the controls on the RH1, for me it is much easier to get around than the NH1, and thats me speaking as someone who has a disability which comes with fine motor impairment (i.e fiddly buttons are not for me lol) cheers Andrew PS does anyone have a decent Avatar Pic of the RH-1, as I cant find any in the gallery ?

Hi Have just bought an RM-MC40ELK remote for my recently acquired MZ-RH1 and am more than happy with them both. However I cant seem to get the playback menu for speed control to work on the 40ELK. if I press "Display" (and hold it in) on the remote the display merely cycles through Artist, Track,Elapsed, Format etc, much like if I pressed the display button on the unit. Has anybody successfully got speed control to function with the 40ELK or is it just not supported?... it works with the standard remote if I plug it back in. Edit: - Found it! Downloaded the NH-1 manual (the MD that comes with the 40 Remote control) and found out how to access the menu/options through the jog dial thingy..... cheers Andrew

Raintheory I have about 4 MD's worth of stuff I'd like to transfer, not a massive ammount and I have the time so analogue will be fine. Have just remembered I used to use WinNMD to get lectures from my minidisc when I used it at uni. It means putting all the stuff on PC but might give that a go too, at least it would maintain my track breaks. Will be watching out for the "guide" cheers Andrew

"Adventurous" isn't the word I'd use..... sounds painfully complicated Any guides around for such a task? Edit: having done a few searches on here, it would appear that TOC cloning isnt possible with the 707... so unless someone knows something I don't then it would appear I'm stuck with analogue recording.... oh well... Andrew

Hi First post on here so be gentle I have a trusty MZN-707 Net MD, and a few 80 min MD's that I would like to put on to a single HiMD, having just bought an MZ-RH1, now I know the limitation insofar as you cant upload to PC from anything recorded by older versions of sonicstage and NETMD (this track was not transferred on this computer) However I was wondering at the easiest way to do the transfer? I'm not desperate to put the whole library of songs back on my PC (I can always upload them later using the transfer) Would it simply be a case of connecting the two portables together via the headphone/Line out socket on the 707 to the Line/mic in on the RH1 (which socket, am a bit stuck as its a while since I have done any analogue recording?) The 707 has had the 'Hack' applied a while ago which apparently allows for several functions of the N1 to be used, including the option to use the headphone socket as a Line out (should I enable/use this option?) I realise that the tracks will be recorded continuously without the track breaks but I can add these later. lots of questions, hope this is the right place
