national Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 (edited) Long time listener, first time caller as they say...I've used Sharp minidisc recorders since 2000. Just bought my first Sony a few days ago--a used mz-nh1. Everything is in perfect working order, except I can't seem to be able to edit my recordings from the unit.When I hit the "Menu" key on the unit, I'm given a choice between "Display", "Option", "REC Set", and "Useful". According to the mz-nh1 manual that I have, there should be a fifth option--an "Edit" option. Well, it's just not there. For what it's worth, I am in "Advanced" menu mode, so my undertanding is all the available options should appear.What am I doing wrong? How do you get to the "Edit" function on the mz-nh1?Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. Edited August 31, 2007 by national Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hungerdunger Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 The simple answer is that you can't use any editing functions (except "Format") on the unit itself.You can only access them through the remote by holding down the jog dial for a couple of seconds. Have a look at Page 53 onwards in your manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the transition from Sharp to Sony is going to take a bit of fiddling around with the unit, a careful reading of the manual... and a new mindset. I use minidisc for mic sound recordings and I always have my rec volume on "Manual". Well, it looks like each time the recodring stops, the mz-nh1 resets itself to "Automatic". I'll probably have to go into the menus a lot more with the mz-nh1 than I was used to with my Sharps.And I guess I'd better not lose that remote control (I don't use them with the Sharps) if I want to edit my tracks from the unit.

The one thing you will find is the Sony Mic pre is much nicer , a bit of change yes , but for the sound quality it is worth it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
