RobA Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 (edited) I normally use my remote, but I forgot it today when I went out. So I just used my plane minidisc unit. I go to flip through songs on my 600D and spinning the jog dial did nothing. The current screen just stays, no long lists pops up. I then pressed down hard on it and turned it, and got it to scroll the a couple songs. It only scrolls if I press extremely hard and when it does scroll, it goes really slow when scrolling. I think my jog dial may be busted. There is probably nothing I can do, but any suggestions are appreciated. Or any idea how this happened. I've only had it since November. Also, I'm open to any new unit recommendations. Like the last time when I was looking for a unit, my budget is very limited (my reason for coming to the minidisc format). I really don't want to have to spend more than 80 bucks, but if I must, then 100 max. Maybe something like the blue 600D or the DH710?UPDATE: As stated in the third post down this one below, I'm sending me nh600d to the sony exchange program. I read the terms and conditions and am a little worried. It states: "For all exchanges due to physical damage or exchanges due to damage caused by accident, misuse, abuse, negligence, or acts of god, Sony will provide a written estimate of exchange costs and obtain your consent and credit card information before exchanging the product." Do you think they will charge me extra because it is the jog dial thats broken? Edited March 9, 2006 by RobA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Sounds like the wheel is worn out or broken. Your choice is probably to rely on the remote or get it fixed. How long is your warranty? If it's out of warranty, it's probably not worth repairing. But if you're covered for a year, you can get Sony to fix it or replace it. There are new NH600D on Ebay for $100 shipped--search Hi-MD.

I've had it since november. Also I forgot to mention that I don't do ebay, any other site is fine. Edited March 9, 2006 by RobA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobA Posted March 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Well it looks like I'm going to be in the exchange program. I'm going to send it in to sony in a few days. I got the confirmation email which had a part which said: "Note: Your model is part of a Sony exchange program. However, the directreplacement is not currently available. You can send your unit in and you will be contacted for more information and alternative models available." Wonder what model I'll get, the suspense is gonna drive me crazy. Maybe I'll get an nh900 or something, that would be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercury_in_flames Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 LOL good luck man, it took an authorised sony repair place over two months to fix my Sony micro system. Make sure they are 100% clear on EXACTLY whats wrong with it. The morons that were fixing my hifi replaced the line in instead of thing they were meant to fix; the line out, the first time. I ended up taking it back and for about three times. *edit* oooh getting it exchanged ey, get the nh1 if you can, else settle for the other nh900.

The nh1 looks nice, but I prefer being able to have a full screen on the unit so I don't have to always use my remote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobA Posted March 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 I'll keep everyone posted on whats happening. I just shipped it out today. I emailed sony and they said once they recieve my 600D, they will call me and tell me my exchange options. Crossing my fingers for the nh900.

RobA Posted March 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 (edited) UPDATEI'm psyched, I called and they are shipping the MZRH910 for only 30 bucks! I had a choice between that or my regular 600D, obviously I chose the 910. During the call she said "We have your unit in stock and will ship it for 30.74." Then I ask if any other units were available, asking for the nh700, 800, and 900, none of which were in stock. So then I asked for the rh910 and she said they have it and there is no price increase. I'm psyched, can't wait for it. And one question, will sony ship the niMH battery with it? Edited March 15, 2006 by RobA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobA Posted March 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 How cool is this, I called sony back and now I'm getting an MZ-RH10! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebastianbf Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 why a rh10 now? what happened to the rh910? (you lucky boy!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobA Posted March 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 why a rh10 now? what happened to the rh910? (you lucky boy!)Called back cause I got an email saying they got an estimate and to call in to pay. I was confused because I already payed. I called, they said it was an error and that they were gonna ship my rh910 today. I then asked if I can check one more model (rh10), she said they are in stock and they will send it instead of the rh910. This is awesome, I just hope it doesn't scratch as easily as I've been hearing, as that sounds like the only flaw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
