musiclover408 Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Hi guys...Just found this forum and I am in need of some help from all ya experts out there.I am wanting to get a MiniDisc recorder to be able to record good (digital) recordings via Satellite Radio (Sirius) and regular radio as well. I am wanting to record as many hours as possible with the best quality. So I am wondering if there are any home HI-MD units available yet or just the portables? If not, then what's the best unit out there still readily available. I'm looking at the JE-480 for about $130. I notice it only has optical in's and no out. I guess as long as I can bring it in digitally via the satellite radio that would be ok. I have also come across the older 3 CD/MD Changer model which does have an optical out. I am at a loss here as to what I should get. Any help is greatly appreciated!Thanks,Duane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ_Palmer Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 There's nothing really, apart from this Onkyo deck, but I'm not sure if any one's actually selling that...If you go for a standard MD deck, perhaps try getting something like the JE-780 or JB-980, as they have timer functions which will probably be useful in your application, as well as optical outs. Note that you will only get 80 minutes of good quality (SP mode) , 160 mins medium quality (LP2) or 320 mins of low quality (LP4) recording with a standard deck...

musiclover408 Posted March 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Thanks for the reply. Are there any home Hi-MD Decks in the works? And any idea where I could get a JB-980? Nothing on eBay that I found.Thanks!There's nothing really, apart from this Onkyo deck, but I'm not sure if any one's actually selling that...If you go for a standard MD deck, perhaps try getting something like the JE-780 or JB-980, as they have timer functions which will probably be useful in your application, as well as optical outs.
