Peel Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 Hi, first post here I picked up an MZ-RH10 yesterday. The manual is Japanese (I live in Japan), which I essentially can't read. Has anybody seen any .pdfs of the English manuals around? I scoured some of Sony's sites but it was like wandering though a labyrinth. It's my first MD unit, so I'm not quite up to speed yet. But I like it so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishiyoshi Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 Which color did you purchase? I am awaiting delivery of a blue unit.As for an English version of RH10's Operating Instructions, do check back with either Sony Europe or USA at the end of this month.

It also comes with a weird clip-on tubular AA battery adapter which can also power the unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDGB2 Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 It MUST be a better or equivilant Digi amp that is used in the NH900/NH1, yer go forwards not backwards in evolution.....oh wait, this is SONY we're talking about.... I have considered buying a NH900 myself when prices drop, but if older units are not compatible with the features of the 2nd gen I will probably buy a RH10.

Guest tony wong Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 (edited) attention : if u guys do think AA battery support is a good thing, and u guys will be happy if there is AA battery support, so why don't u guys never mention this to Sony?adding a secondary AA battery case just won't add any weight to a portable or make it less slimthe problem is they've got to know what u guys think about itdid u really want it?<---this is the question to them of most concern Edited March 12, 2005 by tony wong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Stamp Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 are you sure? because minidisc recorders/players have just one plug, but theres a menu option within the MD recorder/player that makes it a lineout instead of a headphone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moeman Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 And of course _the_ question:Are you able to playback MP3s that you transfered to the player without SonicStage?

I searched the menus & I couldn't find such an option. But I can't say for sure that it's not there.And of course _the_ question:Are you able to playback MP3s that you transfered to the player without SonicStage? (i.e. by having the player recognized as a regular USB storage device)←Doesn't look like you can play any type of file without going through SonicStage. You can transfer files there thru explorer (or whatever), and you can see them in the MD's file listing, but you can't play them thru the MD.Which is what I expected, but still a shame since I tried to be optimistic but it was immediately obvious why everyone hates the SonicStage application. I can accept that Sony is going to force us to use some kind of system that enforces security/DRM/etc (even if I don't like it), but with this app it's like they went out of their way to make it a hassle to use. My audio files are all perfectly organized on my HD but it takes forever to do anything in SS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Stamp Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 can i ask you one more question?in some document i read, i read that sonicstage would put the mp3s on the disk as mp3... not as one big file. is this true?If they are seperate mp3s, can you execute them directly from the minidisc from explorer? Im asking this read that mp3s dragged onto your HD will be unplayable.. but they didnt say anything about playing direct from the player's removable disk using ie: winamp.thx for your response Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moeman Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 I'm sure it's going to allow that as good as any other regular storage device (after all Winamp is responsible for playing the files .. not the MD player). To the player the files are just going to be regular data.This is a sad day. I actually thought the guys at Sony could've changed their minds .. thinking more about their customer's demands than their own. Pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peel Posted March 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 It appears that MP3s are treated the same as any other audio format -- when added through SonicStage they're put in the big file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hironiemus Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 On this Picture http://www.minidisc.org/images/Sony_MZRH10.jpg you can read the words 'line out' at the headphone jack.But I still wonder if you can create a Disc which can be played back at an older MD or if you only can't record in this mode.Because on the Japanese Sony Site is only said that you cannot record in Net MD mode via optical, line, mic.

SlowMo Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 for the line-out issue, i assume that you have to unplug the remote, otherwise the option "line out" in the output menu won´t show up, because it´s the same way with 1rst gen units.sad to hear about the digi-amp thing, it´s odd that they did that. i would really like to know for what reason.

Hironiemus Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 it could also be there are some variations in different countries which i don't believe at this feature.Sometimes it seems like sony has an extra team to invent some new kind of shit.Why don't they want give you all advantages at once?
