Mikami Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 If, you use Windows 7 and own an MZ-RH1 you will happy to hear that sometime in the middle of August an update is coming your way. So, in August we should now be able to use MZ-RH1 with Windows 7 without the need for virtualization software to run Sonic Stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 that's great news. I actually picked XP for one new computer because of this; happy to hear I can now move forward with the rest of the world. Out of curiosity, is the development team in Aomori? Or, how do you know this??? Regards Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stargazer_tom1 Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Why does it not work on windows 7? My nh1 works on windows 7 x64 but net md mode does not work as there is no x64 driver for net md. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfbp Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 I use my RH1 with Windows 7 without a problem...? Perhaps you are running the 32-bit version of W7. Many (if not MOST) are finding the manufacturers of new computers are providing W7-64. They will find the Home Basic edition which does NOT have the XP 32-bit subsystem (provided in the premium versions) which WILL run SonicStage. In any event the big problem is with the NetMD drivers. So if you stick to HiMD format (whether 80m or 1GB disks) you won't notice any difficulty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikami Posted July 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 ...Out of curiosity, is the development team in Aomori? Or, how do you know this???RegardsStephen EFL instructors(and other types, too) here often use MiniDisc/recorders, CD's, and sometimes Cassettes so we are occasional debriefed on the latest news from different providers. For, a while it had been mentioned that Sony was thinking or that they were 「未定」(undecided) if they were going to provide official support for those using the MZ-RH1 with Windows 7. However, recently it was mentioned that Sony would update information for the MZ-RH1 in the middle of August. On, Sony's web site the following post concerning the MZ-RH1 and Windows 7 will be found stating the above information: 8月中旬に情報を更新する予定です。 I use my RH1 with Windows 7 without a problem...? I was under the impression from threads like this: that some were having difficulty using SonicStage with Windows 7. However, it is encouraging to hear that you and the poster named Stargazer_tom1 are able to use Windows 7 and the MZ-RH1 without problems. When I last visited these forums(actually the older version of them) about two years or more ago it seemed that some here were prophesying the death of the MD format was at hand and that the MZ-RH1 was going to be discontinued and I am happy to see that those predictions have been proven false. It is also interesting to see that more than a few here haven't made the transition from MD to PCM-M10 / PCM-D50. I recall hear/read many complaining that MD recoders usually have small buttons and too many menus, small screens, no built in mic, and no drag and drop ability, however, it would appear that the PCM series has addressed those problems. Yet, people are still hanging on to MD, and that is kind of nice, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, another way will be found to add Windows 7 support for the MZ-RH1.

uncleboko Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 I have been trying to use Sonic Stage 3.4 (which came with my RH1) in Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium. I installed the driver update and ran in administrator mode, but it keeps telling me to verify the database (??) In frustration I am using my old XP computer to transfer RH1 recordings to Sonic Stage. Should I be using a newer version of Sonic Stage with the driver update in order to transfer music from RH1 to 64bit Windows 7 based system please?

sfbp Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 1. Forget 3.4 2. Use the 4.3 Ultimate from our downloads section 3. Download the 64bit drivers from our downloads section (see the previous posts in this thread). Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncleboko Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 I get an error message when opening 4.3 Ultimate - same as I got with 3.4 - Selected music content cannot be played back because the system information has been changed Also tells me to start the System information tool, which seems to fail as the next message box is blank but has a large yellow exclamation mark.
