zoe25 Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Hi,Does anyone know of a hack to increase the output of my MZ-RH910 from 2.8mW to the usual 5mW or better 10mW?I hear the Japanese units output at 5mWThanksZoe25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ_Palmer Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Click this link for the 2nd generation Hi-MD hack. It applies equally to the RH10 and RH910 (on European models), and you get a full equaliser too. The output will, at best, be 5mW per channel - there's no hack that gives 10mW per channel for any Sony MD unit. You could try using some more sensitive earphones (eg. Sennheiser CX300) if that still isn't loud enough.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoe25 Posted March 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 ThanksFollowed the link but now I'm unsure if I should-you will use the ability to edit and rename tracks right?Please advise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ_Palmer Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Looks like Sony messed up the firmware for the RH10/910. I didn't realise that about the title editing problem, as I do all my editing in Sonicstage. You could always switch the destination code back to the original setting (probably A0 for a Euro model) if you need titling on the unit. It's worth doing the hack anyway for the other features you enable - pitch control, equaliser and the volume increase, but in the end it's up to you.

That I did as first order of business when I got them on eBay out of Europe (both units came from the UK). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ_Palmer Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 (edited) Yep, I've done my 2 RH710's as well... Edited March 7, 2008 by Barock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avrin Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 If you need to volume-hack your European RH910 AND keep the titling function, you may set address 0113 to 20 (US), which removes the volume limitation and keeps the English titling function, or to 23 (Japan), which also removes the volume limitation, and gives the capability to title in both English and Katakana.

Yes, the US hack will give you an EQ as well as full volume, I did my two RH710s with the US specs hack and got both a full EQ and a full 5 mW of volume..

zoe25 Posted March 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Why would you need a remote with a unit with such a great display and controls?It spoils an otherwise great package and saves dropping the device on the floor when you are out and about it you can find and change the tracks without removing it from your pocket.
