Help With Chinese Support

[jaczhao]

Hi, I just bought the north american MZ-RH910 from sony store in canada. I want to add chinese support. Is the chinese only viewable from a remote with a K and not from the unit itself? What about kanji? is that also only viewable from remote and not the player itself?

I'm actually debating about gettign a remote,.....I don't really need one.....but I might get one because I mainly listen to chinese and need the chinese titles.

Thanx

if you want a unit with Chinese support. do yourself a favor, just go and return that NA RH910 unit which you just bought. after that, get on ebay and look for anyone who is selling RH910 (Japanese Edition). Then, you go ahead and purchase that particular RH910, once you done that. come back to the forum, I am sure there is thread about how to set up RH910 (JE) to display Chinese characters.

As far as I know, the units, especially US versions, cannot display kanji at all. You need remotes that have ELK at the end of the model number. However, note that Sony Japan only design them to display Japanese, meaning although it will show most Chinese characters that are available in Japanese kanji characters set, not all chinese characters are supported. Furthermore, Sony USA does its best to prevent US units to display kanji by disabling kanji support in US install of sonicstage (you have to do multiple registry edits to enable it). Search the board for them. There is an additional region setting edit in the registry for HiMD units in addition to enabling multi-byte support.

As for the remotes for the RH910, you could get either the 35ELK or 40ELK. Note that although the 40ELK has 3 line display, for some reason, it seems the RH910 won't show 3 line info (artist, album, title) like the 1st gen HiMD units. It will show track#, time, and the last line will togle between the artist/album/song title.

This is a major drawback for Sony USA, as Apple, Creative, iRiver, and even Dell, allow kanji support on their MP3 DAPs.

There's no need to import one if he's going to get an ELK remote. All you need to do is some registry edits to enable kanji display on the ELK remote. Besides, foreign version of the RH910 doesn't include a kanji remote anyway, only a non-LCD remote.

Thanx, just wanted to confirm that the unit itself can't display chinese. I will probs try to get a remote later.

I think this is real shame. Apple's iPod can show Chinese characters and so does iTune. What's up with SONY!?
