john wiltshire Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Greetings Minidiscers!Hi Everybody! This is my first post on the minidisc forum. What a great resource it is! (and please forgive me if I've posted this in the wrong place!)I have a MZ-NH1 Hi-MD that I use for recording my singing lessons. I then use Sonic Stage to burn to CD that I then listen to in the car.I've found an Alpine MDM-7741 Car MD deck for a reasonable price. I have a similar Alpine unit to this in my car now (but with the cassette player instead of the minidisc). This is the unit: Alpine ReviewMy question is whether this will play discs recorded by my H-MD unit?Many thanks in advance!John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it has an aux input jack you could also just plug the NH1 into itBob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrooper Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 They have not produce Hi MD Deck for cars just yet. I wish they do though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john wiltshire Posted June 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Thanks guys for the responses. I'm still a bit confused - am I getting it right t say that the Alpine unit should probably play H-MD discs if they're recorded on SP? Has anybody tried this?Many thanks in advance!Cheers,John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However the specifically HiMD disks (1GB capacity) cannot be formatted or read by an SP player. They're physically different.If you inherit a standard (60,74,80) disk with HiMD music on it, it can be erased and reformatted as SP quite easily. And most if not all HiMD units such as your NH1 will record in SP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john wiltshire Posted June 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Thanks guys for the feedback.Looks like I won't pursue the Alpine unit, as my intention was just to be able to pug the Hi-MD discs strraight in to the unit and play.I might look at a new head unit with an aux-in and then I can just plug the MD straight in.Cheers,John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
