I called Sony USA and was told that they would send me a newremote. I received it on 7-30-06 and they sent me the WRONG ONE! It was a RM-MC60/SM, who knows what unitit is for-but it certainly is not the right one! I will call Sony tomorrow and see what gives. I'll keep you posted. 8-17-06: Recieved second remote today from Sony....AGAIN they sent theWRONG ONE!Lots 'o luck,DennisDallas, Tx.p.s. If you pull the plug out part way-you get stereo Edited August 17, 2006 by Dennisaa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaylen Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 It was a RM-MC60/SM, who knows what unit it is for-but it certainly is not the right one! lol That stinks. The MC60 came with the DH10P (North American, at least) and who knows what else since your Sony rep thinks it comes with the RH1...... Maybe they have no more spare RH1 remotes because the Chinese are selling them all on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smkranz Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Same problem discussed in this earlier thread (below)...be prepared to receive the *silver* remote and not a black one. When you contact Sony, it helped me to use as a reference, the fact that it uses the same remote as the MZ-NH900 (different color, but...). This way, they were able to pull up the correct remote...maybe now that it's been a couple more weeks, they can find you a black replacement remote.And don't forget to take the ferrite core off the defective remote and put it on the new one in the same location.http://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?showtopic=16285 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobA Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 If you use your your rh1 mainly as a player then why did you pick the rh1? It's a model geared toward recording. I'd strongly recommend returning it and getting something you would really like for playback like the rh10 or dh10p. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What on earth happens if you use the rh-1 as a player?. I wouldn't change the rh-1 for none of them, neither RH10 nor DH10P.Regards Edited August 2, 2006 by dogville Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't change the rh-1 for none of them, neither RH10 nor DH10P.RegardsFinding a song on the RH1 using just the unit is like trying to find a needle in a haystack with a disc of say 100+ tracks (I currently have 315 on my main 1GB disc). It's even annoying with the remote as well, just because the lack of a jog dial, even though the remote can display track titles which makes it a little easier.

I'd strongly recommend returning it and getting something you would really like for playback like the rh10 or dh10p.Firstly the rh10 and dh10p are not available in australia. The main reason for getting the mzrh1 was so is upload sp recorded music ( which i have about 300 ) to my pc...I just assumed these functions would be standard on the unit as they have been for almost enery unit released since md was born...But anyway i forgive sony now as i have just discovered that everything that i have dumped to md using md simple burner in net md mode is also transferable to my pc...very exciting as sometims i havent had the time to import cd to pc then burn to md...i have a md player in my car that does not support himd....if anyone knows if you can get car md head unit that does support himd please let me know...

Roamer Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 HiMD car units don't exist, so there is no other choices than using regular MDs.@RobA : Why can't you understand that some people don't fit hundreds of tracks on a single media, making the RH1 a good choice for them ?

I'd strongly recommend returning it and getting something you would really like for playback like the rh10 or dh10p.Whats the point backing to a 2nd Gen model for crying out loud? The RH1 is perfect for playback (Why do you want the fancy toys/features like a jog-dial? Leave them to the fancy-nancy iPod fans that all love a good looking player, which personally think it isnt). If you group songs, there's no problem. Spending a little less for a lot less for the RH10 or DH10P, and they're far more difficult to get hold of them new now. The RH1 is the dogs bollocks in terms of MD technology. Stop trying to drown it in mud.Azza: Why don't you group the 300 tracks on your 1 GB disc in some way (Artist seperation by alphabetical order A-E, F-J etc etc) or by album. Thats why the group function is there. I do wish there was a way of jumping groups on the unit, thats my only little niggle. But I have a spare remote from my N510 if I need it.

And you can hardly fit more than full album on a regular MDs recorded in SP (or 2 if this is the fake SP from SB / SonicStage).
