FergusF Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Hi all, after the good advice I got on this forum last week, I am back looking for more. I have decided to join the mini disk community and I had decided on the RH910 recorder, it will be available this week at my local store. I live in Ireland and we use a 220V electrical supply. The RH910 is far cheaper in the USA but it comes only as a 110V unit. I could just but a 220/110V convertor but my question is this: are there any other technical issues that could arrise by using the USA model in Europe? for eg, Sony's software, Sonic Stage, is so complicated that I would not be surprised if I ran into difficulties, I read somewhere that there were some kind of adaptors that were region specific that came with each unit?After all that, I could buy the RH10 in the USA cheaper than the RH910 in Ireland, would it be worth it over the RH910? is the only difference the lcd screen?thanks in advance,Fergus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veezhun Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 dont worry.. i have the US model rh10 with a 110V input.. here in india, the voltage is 230v.. just use a converter and you should be fine..make sure the converter does a step-down of the voltage.. if that doesnt happen, you might smell something burning in some time..get the rh10 IMHO.. the OLED screen is fan--bloody-tastic.. specially since its also cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My next dilemma is this: I can have the rh910 tomorrow (or the next day) but I will have to wait 3 weeks for the rh10! My brother is coming home from New York and can bring it. It might be a good exercise to wait as nobody wants to wait for anything anymore (not in Ireland anyway).btw: the US rh10 has a remote control (the us rh910 does not but the UK one does), where does the remote plug into the rh10? does it use the microphone connection?thanks again,Fergus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veezhun Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 wait for the rh10.. it will be worth it..the remote goes into the standard remote jack of all sony md's... there is also a mic input, line/optical in plus the headphone out which is also the place where the remote jack is...http://www.minidisc.org/images/Sony_MZRH10.jpgsee the top for all inputs... cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
