yamagatacamille Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 i'll bet. it would be premature for sony to release 2 hi-md players when Hi-MD is still early in the game; and from the look of this very small pic:this has to be the rumoured "EH10" (if that is the real name) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Tires Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 This is a hot looking unit. Will it playback MP3 discs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishiyoshi Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 any idea what remote this unit will come with?←Most likely, the same remote [RM-MC35ELK/MC33EL] that comes bundled with RH10 and RH910. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfairfowl Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 - three colors: silver, light blue, copper- HD digital amp- 6 band EQ- Type-S ATRAC DSP- VPF Acoustic Engine- Full compatibility with all MD'sClick here for stock pictures for the new unit from Sony.I will investigate into the battery life, keep an eye on this thread!←Fantastic news but Just my luck, as soon is my timer cradle is built Sony bring out new models with buttons in different places. I will have to carry on with my MZ NH-700 for timer recordings in HiSP.I intended to buy a second machine for playback anyway but now I have even more to choose from. Can you guys recommend a machine for play back (mainly) I only record MDs using optical interconnect from the DAB Radio and will continue to use the NH-700 for that.I would however like a new player that has a better quality output DA converter etc.I will be playing back through headphones and HiFi system. I like the sound of the NH-700 but I am sure there are better sounding machines out there now.Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Tires Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 I'm going to guess that there is no MP3 support for this model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrain Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 i'd find it hard to believe there's no mp3 unless it's an orphaned unit from the first gen. otherwise you'd be screwed if your discs were recorded in a mix of hi-sp & 256 mp3, half your tracks unplayable? the whole disc not playingback?

Fat Tires Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 I love the look of this unit. I use a player unit already, so this would be logical new unit for me as well. However, I do not put it past Sony to not include MP3 playback on this unit, thereby limiting it's appeal. This IS Sony we're talking about.

longhair_hippy Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 These units look impressive: If it is possible to load directly mp3's into the unit, without using either sonic stage or simple burner, and the unit sees the mp3's like my DNE-300 mp3 cd player, I would be very happy. I use a macintosh, and I was able to make an MP3 CD using toast, and it worked on the DNE-300 CD walkman I use to replace my bookshelf stereo's built-in cd player that died on me. I prefer minidiscs for when I go outside, they are compact, and much less bulky than a cd player. If the new HI-MD players behave like an external drive, and you can copy MP3's directly from the finder, that would make the unit somewhat mac compatible. No ATRAC but having an mp3 compatible player would be great, especially if it beats the IPOD with its easy to change batteries.Have a nice day,Georges in Montreal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Tires Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Georges, I'm sorry to say that the answer to your question is no. You'd need to run Sonicstage on a PC using a minidisc recorder to make a MD for use with the EH930 (a playback only unit). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted March 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 I have found strict confirmation that this unit does NOT support mp3 playback, and I have also edited the first post with battery life info - additionally, it will take a normal gumstick and have a 5mW output, 103g weight with battery, 73 without.

skmetal07 Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 what was sony thinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted March 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 I'm not really sure - a very poor choice; perhaps a mp3-compliant player only unit will come in the Fall. It sure is light, though, and the battery life is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Tires Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 What are the functional differences between the EH1 and EH930? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted March 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Doesn't use that proprietary battery, superior battery life, an actual choice of colors..only comes with a one line remote though. Seems like they've completely phased out the RM-MC40ELK for second generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sector001 Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 (edited) i think i will wait to see what Kenwood or Sharp has to offer...i believe i will get the RH10 though. Edited March 13, 2005 by sector001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrain Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 so this is official, it's a throwback to the 1st gen of bridging himds? will do all an nh1 can do bar recording?very odd release time imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMPlitude Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 other than the battery part, i would rather go with the nh1 or eh1 in taht case... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynos Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 these are cool looking models and light weight... however I don't think looks can compete other models and mp3 players. Sony we need features! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishiyoshi Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Wheres the screen?The MZ-EH930 does not have a display screen - the display screen is not a common feature for a playback-only unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
