Screen Protectors for the MZ-RH1

A few folks here have been asking for a template to cut a PDA screen protector to fit the MZ-RH1 screen. I've cut up two screen protectors and I've finally got the dimensions right.

I've attached the template in both PDF and SVG format. Either print it onto the back of your screen protector, or print it on normal paper, cut it out and use it as a template. Make sure you print it at 1:1 scale (select "Page Scaling: None" in Acrobat, or just print it with default settings in Inkscape) or it'll get mangled when you print it out. Measured from the inside of the right curve to the outside of the left, it should be 64mm wide, and 12mm or so high. Cut your screen protector out, wipe the screen clean, then apply it as per the instructions. Little hint - apply it from the left hand side (i.e. the bit of the screen that has the "HiMD Audio" badge) or you'll have trouble getting it around the record button.

The SVG file is in the ZIP file - you can edit it with Inkscape (www.inkscape.org).

I see nobody up to now, has thanked you for the layout, unforgivable! LOL. Thank you very much for creating it for us; I find it very useful.

cheers

i found it very useful you put me onto trying Inkscape :)

Still haven't purchased an RH1.

edit:

tried to open the svg file (in the zip) in Inkscape 0.44 for Windows, and it just crashes the app, it seems (?) Consistently. Not sure what's going on there. Black box for a second then...nothing. Hrm, could be a system-specific issue but I'd be interested if others experience the same.

Edit2:

It turns out the SVG file opened on my second monitor (which wasn't on), lol.

Don't know why it defaulted to that, but all is good.
