Reg Price Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 My MK-RH1 is just 3 months old and I think the jog lever is faulty. When I select the next track it sometimes selects another track or goes backwards! Same when in record and I manually adjust the level with the jog lever it's eratic. Anyone else experience this? Should I send it to Sony UK? Anyone know where to send it? Many thanks from Reg Price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Yeah jump on it quick while the warranty is still active. After that don't use RH1 as a player, just an uploader. Sorry. There's lots of players, and the EH70 is of almost exactly the same vintage as the RH1, lacking only the d-Norm setting for playback. That's another whole story anyway, I think d-Norm may be bad for one's ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost never use MP3's. Good point. But the EH70 will play every single MD format from SP(and mono) to MDLP to Atrac3+ (all rates).

PhilippeC Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Using your Hi-MD remote will save your jog lever which you will need anyway to enter menu of your RH1. My NH9 has also button problems so for me Hi-MD units are NOT anymore portable units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 BTW, while you're havering over sending it off to Sony (and anyway if you cannot for some reason collect on the warranty), excellent results for the Jog Lever Problem have been achieved by careful adjustment (neither too loose nor too tight) of the two screws on the bottom of the unit. Mind you the comment above is right on - try to avoid using the jog lever as much as you can Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reg Price Posted August 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Thanks for your comments. I am returning this unit for a refund. Don't get me wrong, this is a great recorder and sound quality is fantastic. However with the jog lever problem happening so quickly and no way to transfer old files onto Mac this is not for me. So now I'm left with a Hi-MD disc that I can't play! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 I think you wore it out testing for the popping sound Seriously, this unit is for one really important purpose - uploading. There are a zillion players/recorders/downloaders available from 50 to 90% off (or more) for you to play with. I'd never part with mine willingly. The #linux-minidisc project will be able to help you out with transfer to Mac. Maybe ditching it is a bit premature? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
