Transfer From Hi Md To Cassette Possible?

[Allyson]

For reasons too mundane to explain, I want to transfer a particular recording I made on Hi MD to a cassette tape. Is there a way to transfer directly from the Hi MD player to the cassette recorder? If so, how? I'd appreciate any help anyone could give me.

This depends on what kind of cassette recorder you have.

If you have a component [stand-alone] cassette deck, this should be simple:

Just plug a 3.5mm - dual RCA cable from the headphone/line out of the HiMD directly into the inputs on the back of the cassette deck. Put a tape in, play the HiMD, set the recording levels for the tape, then start recording.

If you have a midi system or similar, then you might not have the option of plugging an external device into the tape deck.

Do -not- plug the HiMD into the microphone inputs found on the front of some cassette decks. What you want to do is treat the HiMD as simply a line-level source, same as any other audio equipment.

Thank you.

Oh.. another thing.. before trying to record from the HiMD, make sure that AVLS is off; that the EQ is off; and that the volume level is set to around 24/30.

Just to add one note - if you have the NH1 or NH900 Hi-MD unit, use the line out mode on that unit - you'll have to unplug your remote first. This should give you a cleaner signal to record from than the EQ off setting that dex mentioned...
