igor Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Does anyone know if Sony will be releasing a full-size Hi-MD deck for a component stereo system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDGB2 Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 This is becomming a pretty common question, and the answer at the moment is no. Only Hi-MD decks currently available are from Onkyo.Maybe Sony has something up it's sleeve for 3rd generation models.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwakrz Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 I just wounder if Sony are trying out the various options for Hi-MD with the portable market first before commiting to a deck. This would make sence but then knowing Sony it will never probably happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igor Posted August 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Only Hi-MD decks currently available are from Onkyo.Actually, I guess I should've asked if any company had released a component stereo deck. I just assumed that Sony would've released one before their competitors! Have user reports about the Onkyo been positive?It's really a shame that Hi-MD couldn't have been ready for the public a year or two earlier. It addresses most of the shortcomings that were keeping people away from MD, and it seems like a really great format overall. It just seems to have come on the market at a time when there's too many competing formats. I'm not sure it's going to become a standard. Guess I'll wait and see where it goes before I take the plunge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bland10000 Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Does anyone know if Sony will be releasing a full-size Hi-MD deck for a component stereo system?←Yes, the Onkyo mini-decks are nice but the original post asked for a full-size deck, which there aren't any yet.

igor Posted August 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Guys, Onkyo has released two Hi-MD Decks so far:. . .Thanks. These look really nice. They may not be full-size, but that might be a good thing in that they'll fit in places a full-size deck wouldn't (on top of a computer, etc.). They're pretty pricey, though! Are you sure the Sony one you pointed out (MDS-JE480) is a Hi-MD recorder and not just a normal MD deck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommypeters Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 He didn't point out the (non-Hi) MDS-JE480 but rather pointed out that the only non-portable Hi-MD Sony makes are the "Home Systems" CMT-AH10 and LAM-X1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great to see Onkyo made a couple, but I don't see them on their website.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
