scotttlp Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 I used my mz-nh1 to record a 80min MD with ATRAC & ATRAC3 codec music files. But when I inserted the MD in my mz-1 I just heard a long "beep" and the screen showed Hi-MD. I'm pretty sure it's just a regular 80min MD. So, why my mz-1 couldn't play it. Because it's a 80min MD? What type of music file can be played on mz-1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What type of music file can be played on mz-1? for a disc to be able to play on your MZ1, you have to go into your transfer menu of SS( hopefully you are using at least 3.4. if not 4.2 or 4.3 if you're on Vista ), and set your transfer option to SP. If you use a Hi-MD option, even on 80 minute the 1 won't recognize it.Good luck,Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What type of music file can be played on mz-1? The MZ 1 is the very first version of Atrac , and there have been MANY upgrades , and the equipment has kept pace with the changes. So if you record something in SP mode , on say an R50 , it will play fine , if you record something in SP mode on an RH1 it might not play very well , and that is because the ATRAC version of the RH1 , and the R50 are several stages apart . The MZ1 , also will NOT play any LP , LP2 , LP4 mode discs , it must be in SP mode . It would be better if your Recorded , what you want on disc , TO the MZ1 , then it will be completely compatible. Any of the Atrac modes , of MZ-r50 and prior , will play on the MZ-1 , and that with differing results , believe me I have tried.I cant say about Sonic Stage , because I am on a Mac , I am just saying from being an Owner of all the above noted units .stuff I recorded on a Kenwood DCM-F5R seemed to play quite well on the MZ1 but Stuff I recorded on my RH1 , would tend to skip , and the MZ1 would take a lot longer to read and allocate the files.

scotttlp Posted March 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 (edited) um...sorry I'm a new MD user. I don't really understand what you mean by SP. I'm using SS version 4.2 now and the music files imported to my SS are in WAVE format I only know how to convert them to ATRAC, TRAC3 and PCM formats. How do I set the transfer option to SP? (the recorder I'm using is nh1) Edited March 30, 2008 by scotttlp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(the recorder I'm using is nh1) on your NH1 , go into the menu , look at Record Settings ( get your manual out ,and read about Recording and Record Settings) , on the NH1 you have three Record modes SP, LP2,LP4 When you record on the NH1 set it to SP mode for recording , after recording , that disc should play in the MZ1 as is .

scotttlp Posted March 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Finally, I recorded the MD in SP mode. It's my first time listen to my mz-1 since I bought it a few weeks ago. I love the mz-1's sound especially the mega bass! Thank you guys!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THIS SUCKS Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 your sp recording will sound better if you make the recording with a digital input on your new unit then play it back on the old one. sp recorded from sonic stage is really lp2 with padding bits to make it sp compatiable. this makes the sound much worse than a true sp recording Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
