PaulV Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 if i was to buy a DVD player with an optical output, could i hook my minidisc upto it and record from it?for exmaple, if i bought an ordinary DVD player with an optical output, connected my Nh600/JE480 via an optical cable and inserted a music cd, would the minidisc be able to record digital audio?it works with my PS2`s optical output, but i am wondering about the DVD players output.

bug80 Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 (edited) It works with dvd players.←Is it? Does it also work when the DVD only has a 5.1 or DTS track?EDIT: Oh, PaulV meant music cd's. Yes, that works, I've done it in the past. Edited May 15, 2005 by bug80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zathura Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 Is it? Does it also work when the DVD only has a 5.1 or DTS track?Yes. It downmixes to stereo however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latexxx Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 Yes. It downmixes to stereo however.←It works if your player decodes the signal to pcm. No md units can decode ac3 or dts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrius Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 Sorry to burst the bubble. If you are trying to record the audio track of a DVD, it comes flagged with SCMS, and the MD will NOT copy it. Believe me, I have tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebastianbf Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 i have tried it too. not possible. the dvd that i tried to record to md was protected. but, you can bypass the protection (i did it), but if you do that you cannot set the recording levels manually.hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerodB Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 True, but you can get round this on your PC. Grab a copy of DVD decrypter, and you can get pass the copy-protect encryption, grab the AC3 stream, and the convert the resultant AC3 file to WAV with a program like Nero, and then burn to CD.However, I think PaulV was reffering to the digital copy of Audio CDs to MD using the optical out of a DVD player.

Guest NRen2k5 Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 Also, you will not be able to record using an NH600D because it does not have an optical jack. The JE480, however, does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
