Using Rm-mc40elk As Recording Remote?

[A440]

Has anyone been using the MC40ELK for live recording? What does it control in that context?

Specifically:

Can you get into the REC SET menu to set Rec Volume to Manual?

Can you read the recording level backlit?

Can you change the recording level?

Can you insert track marks from the remote?

Thanks.

IF that is the remote supplied with the MZ-NH1 then yes, I've used it for live recording.

From memory (please check the manual):

To answer your general question:

Once you do the manual Record/Pause thing on the MD unit, you can access any menu and option from the remote that you can on the unit itself (I think).

Specific answers:

1. Yes. Press the volume wheel in for 2 secs I think, takes you into menus. Roll up/down to select menu. Etc.,..

2. Yes. Just tap the wheel whilst recording will redisplay the backlight. Alternatively, you can set it to permanently on, should you wish. The recording meter is shown (a stereo level meter).

3. Yes - whilst recording, (and in manual record level mode, and not in any menus), simply move the volume wheel up and down.

4. I think so, but I've never tried it - I always remove any track marks and do tracking on PC after conversion to .wav

Incidentally, there is a HOLD switch on the remote too - handy once you've got your recording going to stop you accidentally pausing / changing record level / etc.,.

If you press the "P Mode" button while recording, you can lay down track marks. I use it while recording shows to do a rough split-up of the tracks as best as I can, then later on I clean them up and make each mark more precise (at the beginning of each song) before transfering to Sonicstage.

These responses are specific to the NH900:

1. NO...you cannot enter the REC SET menu to set Rec Volume to Manual from the remote. This must be done on the NH900.

2. YES, you can view the recording level on the backlit remote.

3. YES, you can change recording level on the remote by simply rolling the wheel up or down.

4. YES, as previously answered, simply pressing the P Mode button once enters a Track Mark.

Can you use the remote to set track marks while PLAYING (rather than recording) a minidisc? Pressing P-mode just changes the playback mode (in different ways depending on whether you do a short or long press).

I hope so but I fear not.

I've checked my MZ-NH1 manual and it would appear not.

That's a negative...at least on the NH900. Setting track marks by pressing the P-Mode button only works while Recording, not while Playing.
