PsychoPimpKiller Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 From what I've gathered on here they're pretty much the same but I was wondering which one to buy. I have only seen the MZ-M200 come in black but I've seen the MZ-RH1 come in black, silver and blue. What is the differences between those 3 colors? Are there other colors available for in each unit? I know it's all about personal opinion but I was wondering, which one would you recommend? Thanks and Happy Holidays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 They are exactly the same. The MZ-M200 comes with a microphone. So go by price. I have only seen photos of the MZ-RH1 in black and silver. The color is just the color, signifying nothing else about the unit internally. If you like shiny, see if you can find a silver one. Otherwise.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychoPimpKiller Posted December 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 Thank you. I was probably going to go with the MZ-M200 because for some reason I can find it for cheaper than an MZ-RH1. I just thought there a difference with the units being volume limited or something to that effect. I read some stuff about that on here so I was curious.

A440 Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 I don't know about volume limits and don't remember reading about that anywhere regarding the RH1/M200. http://www.minidisc.org/part_Sony_MZ-RH1.html Do you already have minidiscs that you want to play back or upload? Or are you just looking for a palm-sized PCM recorder? Because if it's just for recording, the Sony PCM-M10 is under $300, has a 4GB internal memory, does higher-quality .wav recording and--for us minidisc habitues--even does track marking. You can just drag-and-drop recordings onto the computer--no SonicStage hurdles. I love my RH1, but its job for me is uploading old-school MDs.

Azureal Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 Thank you. I was probably going to go with the MZ-M200 because for some reason I can find it for cheaper than an MZ-RH1. I just thought there a difference with the units being volume limited or something to that effect. I read some stuff about that on here so I was curious. I remember reading somewhere here or on the T-Board that the silver RH1 was sold only in Japan and has a cap on the output levels. I also remember reading that this could be modified in the settings via the service mode. Most of the silver ones I see on eBay are very pricey, around $500 US with a high shipping cost bringing the total cost to as much as $550 shipped new from Japan to the US. But they sure look nice! I picked mine (a black RH1) up from Minidisc Canada earlier this year for about $310 US and $15 US shipping. I have not taken it out of the box yet! :-D Here is a link to the site, it looks like they have the Black M200, but are out of stock on the Black RH1: http://www.minidisc-...iDisc+Recorders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATRACunderground Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Do any of Sony's solid state recorders (i.e. non-MD) allow you to record using ATRAC3plus (64&256) like the HiMD recorders did? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Dunno but their line of NetJukes probably will. I'm about to start a thread about the so-called GigaJuke, NAC-HD1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
