viiv Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 (edited) Too make a long story short I lost my black RH10 a little over a year ago. It was purchased for me by a relative while in Japan. Anyways, since I miss it, I'm planning now on maybe getting a new unit, maybe the newer M100, especially to take advantage of its better battery life. Since I obviously didn't lose the cradle since that was safe at home, I was wondering if the RH10 cradle is compatible with the M100. And if it was it would be SO perfect since the RH10 model I got was black and hence a black cradle. And since the M100 is black too, it would be SO perfect if it works.Also, thankfully I wasn't using the supplied black LCD remote that came with the RH10 the day I lost it. Since I have it will it work on the M100 instead of the supplied LCDless remote, backlight and all buttons?Infact the only thing I lost other than the actual unit was the supplied carrying pouch. Does the M100 also come with a carrying pouch? Thanks, Edited February 17, 2006 by finalcoolman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Ok good news is the RM-MC35ELK remote from your JP RH10 is compatible with all Hi-MD units, MZ-M100 included. Also the MZ-M100 should also come with the pouch.The cradle on the other hand I am not sure about as I thought I recalled some owners of US model RH10's saying the US version did not have the appropiate connectors on the bottom the unit for connecting to the cradle. This may also be true of the MZ-M100 especially as this model is only sold in the US and not in Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viiv Posted February 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 (edited) how big is the difference in battery life finalcoolman?I don't know, but that's what Minidisc Canada says about the M100:"Similar to the MZ-RH10 Hi-MD Recorder but but has an extended life battery, and the ability to upload PCM mic recordings to a Mac with the included software."So basiclly it seems like an updated version (but cosmeticly similar) of the RH10 but with Mac uploads and extended battery life.http://www.minidisc-canada.com/shopdisplay...iniDisc+PlayersEdit: Comparing the specs, seems to be only one additional hour of playback (33 hours on the M100 vs 32), but hey it's better than nothing and I sure could use the included Mic.
