1kyle Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 There's been some confusion here as to what exactly the RM-MC40ELK remote displays with the RH1.It seems to work exactly as it would on the NH1 -- you get a proper 3 line display (not 1 line as people have been suggesting) and whilst I haven't navigated every possible menu choice certainly on playback it works fine.I rarely use a remote on record so I haven't tested it yet recording.Incidentally it's not worth volume hacking the RH1 (European) since the 4.5mw o/p is fine and you've also got a proper line out.Cheers-K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully someone else here can officially confirm it, take a picture and in detail explain what it can or can't do. To be honest, why do you want to see everything on a big fat remote? Why anyone can't everyone be satisfied with the one line remote, I don't know.In terms of the volume hack, I've done it. Hasn't done any harm to my unit and I can hear a slight difference (I use headphones all the time for broadcasting and sound levels are important). If you're not confident in doing it don't. If you are, then do it. Simple as. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1kyle Posted June 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 It's really only useful on playback -- if you are looking for a particular track / group / playback bookmark.It's not that fat (RM-MC40ELK)On playback I use Hi-MD a lot at 352 -- that's roughly equivalent to 5 CD's worth of music. On 256 that becomes 7 - 8 CD's. At lower resolutions a LOT more CD equivalents.Unless you are happy just popping in a disk and playing it sequentially from the start Navigation is really fiddly with the standard remote.If I'm using standard MD's (77/80 Min one's) I never bother with the remote as I stick to 1 Disk per CD. I'm still using an excellent Legacy shelf unit at home and I'm actually surprised how good SP (292) sounds on the RH1.Cheers-K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully someone else here can officially confirm it, take a picture and in detail explain what it can or can't do. I actually took that picture for the MDCenter.nl review and that is my remote on there. I just had a couple of hours to review the RH1 with Marck but the first thing I tested was the 40ELK remote. Like 1Kyle says I didn't go through every option for recording, but as far as I could see every display mode was the same for the RH1 as for the EH1 / DH10P which I also took with me. You'll see that photo also highlights the "dn" sound option for Dynamic Normalizer (exclusive to the RH1) so I would say it works pretty well.[attachmentid=1818] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1kyle Posted June 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 I wondered what the DN was I got that on my display as well-- thanks for the answer.Cheers-K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raintheory Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 (edited) I noticed something while using the RM-MC40ELK on my RH1... The font looks different when playing an Mp3 track versus an ATRAC one.I'm not sure if it does this with the RH10 or not. I'll have to check that later.EDIT: Here is one display screen I have found that will not display with the RH1. I was using my NH900 at the time... Normally this screen is accessed by pressing "display" 4 times.[attachmentid=1819] Edited June 30, 2006 by raintheory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Low Volta Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 indeed raintheory... that option for display is unavailable with the RM-MC40ELK and the RH1, just as it is for the RM-MC40ELK and all 2nd gen HiMD so no 'real' difference there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Low Volta Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 granted, I did miss that one, but then again... the DH10P really IS an exception in all ways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1kyle Posted July 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 granted, I did miss that one, but then again... the DH10P really IS an exception in all ways Hi guys -- I could only compare the remote functions with what I could display on the NH1 and the RH1. There might be all sorts of other displays available only for specific models - . As a lot of people got the remote with the NH1 they probably will be quite happy that it appears to function identically with the RH1. It would be interesting to know if this also functions with the M200 as well.I haven't tried it on an RH10 -- there seems to be no point using a remote anyway on that model with its display screen.Now off to look at the World Cup --Eng V Portugal so cheers everbody-K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
