Bigsby Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 I was one of the lucky few who got "upgraded" by amazon.co.uk to the NH1. Initially I was absolutely delighted with it - who wouldn't be for £69.99? However I can't get the thing to work properly. I'm reluctant to send it back to Amazon as I'm not convinced they will send me a replacement, so I'm hoping that I am just doing something wrong.Basically the unit seems to work perfectly when connected to a computer via the USB or when it sits it the charger cradle. On it's own however, nothing happens. Pressing any of the buttons on the machine itself or on the remote ilicits no response.Any ideas? Having bought my first MD unit in 1997, I thought now was an ideal time to upgrade to HiMD, but I'm not having much fun with it at the moment.

Bigsby Posted April 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 OK, having investigated this further I think I may have had the battery inserted the wrong way round. D'oh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedge Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Is there a Sony store near you where you could get someone to have a look at it?Also, the obvious question arises - is the battery is charged?And something else - check the Hold switches on the NH1 itself AND on the remote.

Wedge Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Ah - you beat me to it.In fact - I was just about to add another question - have you put the battery in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsby Posted April 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Inserted the battery correctly and everythuing is working fine now. In my defence I am used to machines where the battery will only fit in if it is inserted correctly, and I also didn't expect the unit to operate on "phantom" power via the USB lead from the computer - I thought I had already charged it.Great machine though, especially for £70!

clarkeda Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Sony could do with improving the manual. The diagram showing the battery insertion on page 17 only just about makes it clear how it should be done. Like you I inserted it incorrectly the first time. Inserted the battery correctly and everythuing is working fine now.
