StephenS Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 I have had a HiMD recorder, a Sony MZ RH10 for some time and am very pleased with it. I have been offered a Sony MDS-JE510, old but virtually unused. Will I be able to use discs that I have recorded on the MZ RH10 on the MDS-JE510l?Thanks for any advice.Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDX-400 Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 No. The JE510 can't even do MDLP. I'm amazed at how often this question comes up really. "Can this MD unit made in 1997 use Hi-MD discs [that weren't even invented until 2004]?" LOL.Well what you could do would be to use standard MDs and MD-mode on the RH10. But I don't think the RH10 can stand-alone record in MD mode as it's 2nd Gen Hi-MD. So you'd have to go through SS. But then you can't do "true SP" transfers over USB anyway, and the JE510 doesn't support MDLP (as mentioned). So in other words to get a disc to work, you'd end up with quality less than LP2 (ATRAC3 @ 132kbps) and only 80mins of capacity. Not worth going to the trouble for at all.

Using the JE510 for making great-sounding SP discs for playback on his RH10 sounds like a good plan to me. It'll save wear to the RH10. That's if 80mins per disc is fine for him, though.

ATELETRONICS Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 do you want to sell the deck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the 510 was a decent-sounding SP deck, but after thr thing imploded on me due to the aforementioned problem, you couldn't even give me one.

StephenS Posted December 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 do you want to sell the deck?I wouldn't mind selling it but I take it you are not in UK? Postage abroad would probably be prohibitive. Get in touch again if you are in UK.Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
