Sony_Fan Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 To my surprise my Xbox 360 has an optical out. I hooked up to my RH1 and did some real time recording in SP (292) and the music sounded great! It was also a little more "bassy." For any of you who have an Xbox 360 and like to do SP recordings, I highly recommend this. You would probably get better sound quality from the Xbox compared to optical outs from other music players. The Xbox also allows you to change the settings for digital output which is why you would get better sound quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sector001 Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 are there any problems with copy protection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kardon Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 I used to use my Slim PS2 because I found the PS3 did not send track marks, not sure if I tried the 360, does it send track marks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sony_Fan Posted September 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 are there any problems with copy protection?No none at all. I laugh at copy protection, there's so many programs out there to remove protection.I used to use my Slim PS2 because I found the PS3 did not send track marks, not sure if I tried the 360, does it send track marks?Yes, i recorded 2 tracks but you can set the Hi-MD player to sync recording so it will count tracks.

tekdroid Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 I used to use my Slim PS2 because I found the PS3 did not send track marks...Playing a CD in the PS3 doesn't put track marks via optical input on the Hi-MD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kardon Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Couldn't seem to get it to work unfortunately, perhaps because it was off HDD, but I can try and check if you're looking into that as an option, let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wouldn't be surprising since Microsoft owns that codec. This may be the cause of why track marks are not recorded. Try direct CD -> optical out -> SP recording. That should work fine.

darrencouch Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 that's excellent! Now I don't need to go off looking for an optical-friendly cd player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have an optical sound card on the PC, you get similar issues, regardless of format; no trackmarks auto generated when tracks change.
