metal Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 (edited) My black EH1 arrived six days after my payment. Yes!!!!But here's my first question.The player comes with a charger ACES605K (input 100V; output DC6V 500mA) which is not suitable for use as the wall AC is 220-240V in HK.OTOH, I have a AC-ES608K (input 100V-240V; output DC6V 800mA) that comes with my NW-HD3. Is this charger suitable for EH1 noting the different output mA (500 vs 800 mA).Btw, I have a step-down voltage converter from 220-230V to 110-115V. Is this OK or will the 10V difference critical??Thx for advice. Edited May 22, 2006 by metal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spindizzy Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 The 800mA is the max. current the charger will supply. It looks like you need less than this so it should be OK (The voltage out is the critical bit, and that's the same). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaylen Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 spindizzy is right. The EH1 requires 500mA and your source supplies 800mA (you need the source's maximum mA to be equal to or greater than what your unit needs). The output of 6V matches. And, the input range of 100-240V covers HK (and pretty much anywhere in the world). Congrats on the EH1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiesto Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 (edited) holy moly, that was quick... man, I just ordered mine today {MZ-EH1-B} I hope it wont take too long to my place. BTW did you get the tracking number? Edited May 23, 2006 by Tiesto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metal Posted May 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Thanks for all the advice and I've used the Sony AC adapter without problems (or it seems at least).BTW did you get the tracking number?Yes, I did but only after I made a follow up enquiry to them after a few days. They took about 4 days to get the unit from the shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiesto Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 It's good to know that they are reliable Another question, the bill (with the product price) was outside the shipping box? well I ask this because I could ask them to hide that info so I may avoid some taxes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metal Posted May 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 They didn't post the bill on the box but did write down the price on the delivery note on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiesto Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Email from PRICEJAPAN:The SONY MZ-EH1-B was sold out in all of Japan:cray: ...only three days, only three days late... If I had ordered it last week anyway I change my order to the silver one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaylen Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 anyway I change my order to the silver oneHope you're not too disappointed that the "silver" EH1 is actually more of a dark grey. It's darker than the silver NH1. Have you tried Japan Direct? They still have the black EH1 for sale, for a price though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiesto Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 I had seen your pics at T-board and it looks like you're right the EH1 isnt that silver. Btw nice poker hand you have I must say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaylen Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Thanks. And oops, sometimes I have a hard time keeping track of who else is on that board. I included an extra one of the NH1/EH1 (the color difference is a little drastic in that pic though). The top pic is the more true-to-life one for all 3 units. Hope you don't have to wait too long for your EH1.You'll find out soon enough that there is life beyond black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at all your pictorials (yep, I did look at ALL) has helped my photography skills a lot. I'll take some pics of the NH3D tomorrow during the day and post a pictorial. The camera flash and artificial light are terrible for taking pics of that particular unit. Going off of Tiesto's comment, once you get the NH3D, your poker hand will be a royal flush. @ Tiesto. Greedy is it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for artificial lighting, you will need to compensate by adjusting your White Balance either manually or using those presets. Going off of Tiesto's comment, once you get the NH3D, your poker hand will be a royal flush. @ Tiesto. Greedy is it!Aye! But don't forget to acquire the RH1.

jaylen Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Thanks for the kind comments. As for artificial lighting, you will need to compensate by adjusting your White Balance either manually or using those presets.lol I'm such an amateur photographer that I'm not even sure if my T7 can do that. You're making me re-read the user's manual now. But don't forget to acquire the RH1.Haha, tempter! The RH1 doesn't give me any functional benefit over my current units and I'm not too keen on its shape/styling; so after getting the EH1, I think I can say I'm officially done with "needing" any other MD unit. But, "wanting" is another matter. Got my eye on the blue EH930.I found one more pic showing a better comparison of the slight difference between the silver NH1 and EH1.

It is funny how we say we "need" to acquire some of these units. I really "need" to acquire a red DH10P, blue NH3D and silver RH1 as well!

metal Posted May 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 I've just taken some pictures but unfortunately the quality is just so-so and nowhere near the high quality of the unit posted by others. As there are already quite a lot of black EH1 pictures, I thought I just simply posted a few in this thread rather than starting a new one in the pictorial forum. Hope this is OK to the mod.[attachmentid=1700][attachmentid=1701][attachmentid=1702][attachmentid=1703][attachmentid=1704][attachmentid=1705] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaylen Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 (edited) You can never have too many pics. The EH1 is a fine replacement for your EH70. Edited May 26, 2006 by jaylen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
