Does the MZ-EH1 display all three: artist/album/track info on your head unit? Like can you "use the Sony head unit Repeat setting function to switch display from Album & Track [repeat disk] to Artist & Track [repeat off]..." where "switching display settings... will not take effect until the next track plays or the Track Up or Track Down button is pressed?" What I have found out with my MZ-NH900 is that under normal working conditions it can only display the Artist & Track info with the press of the Display button regardless if I press the Repeat button. However, if I fool around with the Display menu on the unit and switch it to say "Title 1" or "Title 2" I can get the Album info to display but no Track info, it says “NO TEXT” and I can't switch back and forth. What I have noticed when the Display menu is set to "Lap Time" (the default) the Artist & Track info appears immediately on my head unit. This leads me to believe that the ASONWHD001 has been programmed to read the same variables that the LCD on the unit displays. I would venture to guess that any other walkman device that has the "Lap Time" setting in the Display menu could hypothetically have its Artist & Track info displayed on a head unit as well of which the MZ-RH1 does not have

I took bobt's advice and just picked up the RadioShack Universal Low-Power DC Power Adapter (273-1811) today and it works great with my MZ-NH900 when set to 3 volts. It is a bit inconvenient though when I need to actually charge the MZ-NH900 because I have to actually press the stop button but it's really no big deal since the battery lasts long enough when Quick Mode is turned off. I would like to get the Sony DCC-U50A USB Charging Car Battery Adapter but since in the MZ-NH900 manual it states that it is not possible to charge the rechargeable battery in the recorder while using the USB connection, I don't think I will. It would be a wise investment for the MZ-RH1 but I already use the Motorola VC700 Car Charger, which is a lot cheaper.

I found the DCC-U50A USB Charging Car Battery Adapter on Zalmar.com for $19.90. http://www.zalmar.com/detail-Video-A_V_Acc...es-DCC_U50A.htm Guitarfxr, so you've tested the DCC-U50A with the MZ-NH900? Does it actually charge the battery or just provide the unit with power? In the MZ-NH900 manual it states that "it is not possible to charge the rechargeable battery in the recorder while using the bus power connection." Also, since this adapter has the resistance between pins 2&3 as well as power on pins 1&4 (+/-) wouldn't the unit just say its in PC--MD mode and block requests from the ASONWHD001?

I just got my MZ-NH900 today; I'll post some comments and pictures when I get everything in place in my car. Now I'm looking for a car charger that will work with it. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've tried my Motorola VC700 Car Charger but it doesn't do anything. I believe the MZ-NH900 can only use the power over USB via the computer but not recharge from it; so I guess that is why the VC700 doesn't work with it. Anyway, could you still provide power to the MZ-NH900 via its mini-USB port? Also, is there such a thing as a tip that would attach to my Motorola VC700 Car Charger's mini-USB plug to convert it into the plug that is used by the wall adapter?

Bad News! I contacted Connects2 technical support department and this is what they told me about the compatibility of the ASONWHD001 and the Sony MZ-RH1. Connects2: We have not tested the MZ-RH1 with the ASONWHD001, therefore we cannot say whether track titles will be displayed with this Walkman. It sounds like the Walkman uses different software to that of the MZ-NH1 and MZ-NH900 Walkmans that we do support. Me: Do you have plans to test the MZ-RH1 with the ASONWHD001? Connects2: At the moment there are no plans to test anymore Minidisc Walkmans due to lack of popularity. Solution? I just bought a used MZ-NH900 from Amazon for $175. There are some on eBay too! I hope the MZ-NH900 works with my Motorola VC700 Car Charger and fits my Sony Universal Velcro Car Minidisc Case. I'll let you know when it gets here.

I found this app from Sony eSupport website, it says that the "MP3 Conversion Tool can be used to convert non-DRM protected ATRAC® format audio files stored in your computer to MP3 format audio files." Click here for the article and the MP3CONVERSIONTOOL.EXE download.

What an interesting article. I personally have been using CDNOW.com to find new albums ever since I titled my first MD way back on the MZ-R90.

Well, I can't say I don't get any titles on my head unit; I do get the "(Music Note Symbol) No... (Disc Symbol) Walkman" notice when I disconnect my MZ-RH1, lol.

Yes, the MZ-RH1 automatically stops playing when the ignition/accessory switch is turned off. It also stops playing when a different source is selected or when the off button is pressed on the head unit. I usually use the off button as a pause button since the dedicated pause button doesn't work on the head unit. Also, the group skip and shuffle buttons don't work but that isn't a problem for me. Thankfully, the search/seek buttons work (FR/FF) for both selecting the track you want and seeking to a particular spot in a track forward or backwards. I just really wish I could get the titles to display now.

My new (reflashed, about a week ago) Connects2 ASONWHD001 adapter arrived today directly from jjsteeleuk and it sadly does not allow the titles from my MZ-RH1 to be displayed on my Sony CDX-GT710 headunit. I even swapped the new leads with the old ones and reset the headunit but still no titles would display. Does anyone have any suggestions or a recommendation on the latest Hi-MD player that will allow the titles to be displayed on the headunit?

Thanks for all the comments, it makes it worthwhile. I'll let everyone know when my new Connects2 ASONWHD001 arrives if it will allow the titles to be displayed on the headunit with my MZ-RH1. Since I have my new setup in my car I am selling my old headunit on eBay, which was the Sony MDX-CA680X. Click here to view the auction.

I finally have everything installed in my car to listen and control my MZ-RH1 from the headunit! Click here!

By now I'm sure that everyone is aware that SonicStage and the MZ-RH1 will not transfer music from an MD that was recorded via SonicStage in NetMD mode if the track was deleted from the SonicStage library. A track recorded optically via a CD deck, however, will upload fine to any PC when inserted in a MZ-RH1. My current MD collection is well over 100 MDs and they all have been recorded via one of the two ways mentioned above. All of which were recorded in ATRAC 292kbps (SP) mode or (a few) in ATRAC3 132kbps (LP2). I'm currently in the process of making my collection fit on fewer discs and have gathered all the original CDs that I have and ripped those to my SonicStage library in ATRAC3plus 256kbps (Hi-SP) so they can be transferred to Hi-MDs without another conversion process via the MZ-RH1. Also, for those MDs without their original CDs but were recorded via a CD deck's optical out I have been transferring those to my SonicStage library in ATRAC3plus 256kbps (Hi-SP) format as well via the MZ-RH1 and the USB connection. Now I am left with copy protected NetMD recordings that will not transfer back to my library because they were deleted a long time ago and on another computer. I know that I will have to do real-time recordings with these tracks but I was curious if anyone has ever recorded in real-time from one MZ-RH1's line-out to another MZ-RH1 line-in to strip the copy protection? And how's the quality? I'm thinking of doing the remaining NetMD discs this way because I own a notebook computer that doesn't have very many good options for PC Card sound cards. Plus I want another MZ-RH1, one for the car and one for portable use. I know that once the recording is complete I will have to do track marking myself or is there an easier way? Also, would SonicStage and Gracenote MusicID service still be able to look up the track names if I specified the artist or something?

I just installed my ASONWHD001 today in conjunction with my Sony CDX-GT710 head unit. I can't get the title from my MZ-RH1 to display on the head unit either. Can anyone confirm that getting the ASONWHD001 reflashed will allow this feature to work? Wiz, could you PM me the Connects2 phone number that Car Audio Plus gave you?

I almost have everything ready to connect my MZ-RH1 to my Sony CDX-GT710 CD Receiver. So far this is what I have ordered: Sony CDX-GT710 CD Receiver Connects2 ASONWHD001 Sony Walkman Adapter Motorola VC700 Car Charger Sony Universal Velcro Car Minidisc Case I'm now just waiting on the Connects2 ASONWHD001 adapter, which will be arriving from the UK this week!

Will this fit the MZ-RH1? http://www.minidiscaccess.com/item.html?PRID=1566167

I got your PMs; I'm waiting for pictures!

I just ordered everything yesterday. How did you mount your MZ-RH1 in your car?

I was just curious as I had just bought everything necessary to connect my MZ-RH1 to my new car receiver. This is what I just bought: Sony CDX-GT710 CD Receiver Connects2 ASONWHD001 Sony Walkman Adapter Motorola VC700 Car Charger
