whatsleftofj Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 ...and I'm absolutely speechless. It's so much smaller than I thought it would be. For the record, I've been using my DH-10P as my player unit for the last 6 months at work, then my E900 in the car, but I expected it to be much closer to the other Hi-MD units I've seen. Oh no, this is so small and light and amazing... It's charging now, so I haven't even tested it out yet, but I had to post because no one else I know appreciates such things. The unit is beautiful. I need to go check it out some more. Can anyone recommend a good screen protector, or are all brands the same? I don't suppose a printable template exists? No, silly question.p.s. I'm sorry to make yet another MZ-RH1 post, but I HAD to share this excitement! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

culp4684 Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 from the posts here I couldn't quite figure out, does it show song/artist/album, or does it not give the full 3-lines?Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the 40ELK is as fully functional on the RH1 as it is on the NH1, EH1 or EH930. When you scroll through the track listings, it normally shows the group name with individual songs in that group on the last three units. But on the RH1 with the 40ELK, there is no group name displayed although the songs are still listed in groups. This may not matter to some, but could be a hassle if you like to put multiple albums on a disc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that but you Have rec level meters on the display of the 40 . I have it and I Use it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whatswisdom Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 > just press the scroll wheel inwards, lightly, once: all playback modes available through scrolling up or downwards, including group play, which shows the group title when selected.I'm thinking of picking up one on eBay for just under $60 shipped (China). A lot cheaper than regular retail (Minidisco etc.). Is this a wise move? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whatswisdom Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Please , do you have an instruction manual for the RM-MC40ELK REMOTE Or do you know where can I find it??ThanksHi everyone, I'm a new RH1 owner (relatively new to minidisc in general; I'm a musician and teacher). I'm beginning to love minidisc--especially for the editing capabilities. I've just took a shot at one of the RM-MC40ELKs discount from China. Hopefully all will be good. (See below.) I don't think the manual is included. http://frame.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?CompareItems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(usually one of my re-mixed albums of course)..to pick an album on that RM-MC40ELK,, without seeing the three lines;; i have to do the wheel scrolling (IN DA DARK);; like playing Russian Roulette;; hit & miss;; "see Dick Run-See Jane Run";; Spot has a better change to find an album than me (rayzray)..with the stock remote next to my bed;; i just use the album up and down;; round and round;; find the sound;; it's no frown..

kentek Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Will this answer your questionWell, you've certainly peaked my interest. Where does one find the 40ELK and how much should one expect to pay?Thanks for busting my budget once again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strungup Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Not trying to break the Wallet ( I got a few freinds who complain of that , I get something , we end up buying the same thing , and then they look at the wallet .....OOPs) just search the net for "RM-MC40ELK" and youll find quite a few places to order from , take your time buy new not used. Its worth the extra dough. The scroll wheel is the Recording level control in record mode , and it is Nice and smooth , plus you will have Dual Level meters in the display when recording.

culp4684 Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 (edited) As far as looking for the RM-MC40ELK, avoid the cheap ones on eBay available from China for around $40.00. You'll regret it later if you don't.Buy from Japan has them for quite a bit less than some of our favorite stateside vendors. I would think they'd be a safe bet.
