teralens Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 With my eye on the SONY mz-nf610, a couple of questions: [*]Is the unit's analog line handled in a standard cable? If so, what type of connector do I need on my shelf-audio equipment? [*]What setting of recording on the MD unit (SP or LP or the like) is appropriate to recording of vinyl records? Experts, my apologies if I overlooked the necessary information which resides almost certainly elsewhere on www.minidisc.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeriyn Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 Is the unit's analog line handled in a standard cable? If so, what type of connector do I need on my shelf-audio equipment?Yes. It uses a standard 3.5mm stereo miniplug. The headphone out of the NF610 can be used as a pseudo-line out if you set all DSP effects (mega bass and EQ) to flat or 0 and turn the volume up to 30/30. It's somewhat close to a line output. What setting of recording on the MD unit (SP or LP or the like) is appropriate to recording of vinyl records?SP mode is the best quality. It has the best sound and compresses the least amount out of all the ATRAC codecs (292kbps bandwidth). However, it has the shortest per-disc record time at only 74-80 minutes depending on the disc used. LP2 mode might be sufficient for recording from vinyl if your equipment wasn't the best in the world, and your mileage may vary. Personally, anything I've recorded from vinyl I've always found that SP works best even with any old setup. ATRAC3 is just not as good. (132kbps bandwidth.) Hope this helps you out. :happy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
