Asia Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 (edited) HI guys, just wanted to share why I LOVE so much Hi-MD and just wanted to present its FULL potential connection possibilities (with some Sony accessories)I won't talk abotu the upload/download feature as it's the common feature that everybody knows about.Friend #1: The memory card reader MCMD-R1Apart being able to play music, Hi-MD device can also store data, and especially pictures from any kind of memory card, you just require MCMD-R1 device:maybe it's simple idea but very usefull when you tak e alots of pictures and you don't have, or can't have access to any computer or laptop. Especially when you are on, the road or abroad, you don't need to care about free space to take pics, once it's full, just sit down or go to a cafe, insert the memory card into the device and connect it to the Hi-MD device. Click on "Copy" button and all the pictures will be copied into the Hi-MD media. You can then format your memory card and keep snapping the landscape =).just an other snap to compare the device sizes:Friend #2: The mic ECM-MS907An other feature of Hi-MD device is that you can use it as a voice recorder:Just plug in a mic, and if you are a student, will be able to record the long and boring courses you have to attend hehe with new Atrac3+ compression + 1Go, you can record for a long time (just take care of batteries power hehe). You can also let ur your reporter friend borrowing your device and he can go get some interviews in the street or during important meeting.Friend #3: Cable line outYou wanna share your latest tunes to your friends, you can connect to the line out the audio cable and plug it into an audio receiver an denjoy music with your friends.Well I use that cable most of time before the release of the MZ-RH1 to copy the track from regular MD to Hi-MD and being able to upload them to the HDD. INstead of connecting the MD device to the computer, I just let the 2 cousins from different generation "chatting" together heheTha's the original Sony cable that was included in all "old" MD recorder with real line out (my MZ-R30) Edited August 1, 2006 by Asia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heathenmagic Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Hi there,Great set of pics and useful info. Regarding the MCMD-R1, I think this would be quite useful. However I note it is now obsolete, so it is quite hard to get. Are there any alternatives out there? Shame the RH1 can't interface directly with a camera with card! Lol.Great outline of the capabalities of Minidisc.Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaylen Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Regarding the MCMD-R1, I think this would be quite useful. However I note it is now obsolete, so it is quite hard to get. SonyStyle, AudioCubes, and eBay still have the MCMD-R1 for sale, if you're interested. lol Are you thinking of the DS-HMD1 maybe? They look pretty similar at first glance.

heathenmagic Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Hello Jaylen,Thanks for the tips, found them at all the places suggested. Thankyou! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asia Posted August 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 (edited) Thank you guys, glad you like it, there are much more possibilities. I only describe the main ones, and I have the chance in my life to be able to enjoy all those features either for my hobbies or my job. And I don't see how I could do without it hehe Edited August 1, 2006 by Asia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaylen Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Does the MCMD-R1 come with an AC adapter or is it powered via AAA only? This would be a nice setup for my T7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asia Posted August 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 (edited) It requires 4 AAA bateries to work, very easy when you are travelling =) and so, you can transfert the pictures whenever & everywhere you want.

heathenmagic Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Hello there,Maybe a stupid question, but I have a MZ-NHF800 and will be getting a RH1. Will the MCMD-R1 work on both these models by any chance?Thanks in advance,Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

actorlife Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Is the MCMD-R1 still available to buy in the US? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Is the MCMD-R1 still available to buy in the US?When I checked this morning whilst replying to someone else, it seems that it's no longer on SonyStyle USA (strangely it was still on SonyStyle Canada). I'm not too sure about other US retailers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
