Std SP with Hi MD

[ssiewlede]

Hi all

I am looking for advice on how to record Std SP discs.

I have an MZ-NH700. And wish to create 'conventional' Mini Disc's for use in my car system. My car system does not recognise any form of Long Play/Hi MD, so the disc's must be formatted to the original Std SP.

Am I right to say that this is not supported by Sonic Stage or the simple copy software?

Is there another way?

thanks

You have two options:

- Record in real time using an analogue (line) or optical cable, as appropriate, attached to your stereo equipment. You need to make sure the Disc Mode is MD (not Hi-MD) and the the REC Mode (Under REC Set menu option) is set to SP on the NH700.

- you can use sonicstage (but not simpleburner for SP) to transfer your library files to NetMD/SP (=292 kbps). Just choose that option in the Transfer screen, but note that SP transferred in this way is actually only LP2 'dressed' up as SP for compatibility (ie. at best you'll only get LP2 quality from Sonicstage). That may be OK for the car, though..

Thanks Kevin, I'll try option two.
