My first post here... hope it´s in the correct forum. If not feel free to move it around. I have been reading here a lot lately, my fascination with MD seems to have returned after abandoning it in 2001 for PC based audio. For years after first reading about it I have been curious about Wide Bit Stream and equally curious if my MZ-R 30 would be able to record in 20 Bits. Turns out it can - only from the digital input of course. I´ve written an article about this, complete with measurments and stuff: http://marlene-d.blo...c-wide-bit.html I´d like to have some input as well as experiences someone else has made with other ATRAC versions like 4.5 Type-R. The MZ-R 900 will be featured in the next article, but I can already tell you that it´s equally Wide Bit Stream capable. Wide Bit Stream - is that even interesting today, with Hi-MD and all?? -
I have a small problem with my MZ-R 900. Playback works nice, recording doesn´t though. Recordings made with it create problems like silence for our Kenwood DM-5090. In extreme cases it will just jump to the next track. I opened it to see how the Kenwood reacts to such discs and watched the mechanical gear that moves the laser sled turning back and forth, as if the wobble groove of the MZ-R-900-recorded MD would be flawed or inconsistent. The MZ-R 30 behaves the same during playback but apparently it has better mechanics/optics; it doesn´t show any errors. Of course, this problem happens with any disc so I assume the mechanism of the R 900 has some problems. Any idea how to fix this or if it´s even possible?
