Ranger0 Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Hi all. I have been a lurker on this forum for a long time and I am thankful for all the wonderful info provided by all! I am in need of some help and my searching the net did not turn up much... I just picked up a nice mz-nh600d to use to reduce wear on my rh1. I saw a post about adding the surround sound and speed options on another post here and now the menu button no longer works and to enter service mode I have to it play twice at the end of the button sequence. Has anyone run into this before or can anyone tell me the default value for 941, 942, and 943 in the service menu for a us mz-nh600d? Thanks for your help!

sfbp Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 can anyone tell me the default value for 941, 942, and 943 in the service menu for a us mz-nh600d? What???? There's no such thing in the service manuals for the 600,600D,700, or 900. If you managed to navigate to anything beyond 920 your firmware is truly blown, most likely. In my (not humble) opinion. Perhaps you wrote down the wrong numbers. What values were you trying to change? Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger0 Posted June 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 The full values are 1941, 1942, and 1943. From service mode press vol up twice to go to nv1 then press right until you hit 941 and the others. There is another post on this forum about it. The nh600d does not show the one. The player works fine with the exception of the menu button.This is the post I was referring to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 Sorry, mental lapse on my part, I had seen this before. They are an alias for some other entries (yeah 113 is 1941). But nothing in the manual. My values (for 600D): 08, 00, 00 I note that no one refers to the 600D in the thread linked-to. The 600 and 600D are, of course in fact different machines.

Ranger0 Posted June 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 Thanks so much for checking, it is appreciated... I have them back correctly now. I must have knocked another setting out of whack. The other strange thing is that when I turn the jog dial I can't press play to change the track it just pauses... I don't suppose there is a reset procedure or a document with all the appropriate settings? Thanks again for your help! Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 Faults with the jog dial are usually associated with increased contact resistance. Ah - some 600D's doesn't have a remote as an option (mine does however) - in which case you cannot double check by plugging in the remote and testing the same things. If the remote works to do the same things, then the problem is simple and electrical with the jog dial. Jim Hoggarth here on the board can give you the best advice about that and how to clean.

sfbp Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 The best way to restore settings esp. on HiMD is to do an automated alignment (they call it Servo Overall adjustment). However you may need some special disks. Stick around here and Jim and I will help. I am not going to be particularly useful for a few days, but if you've not got it sorted in a week or so, we can dig into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specials disks or specials tracks only ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger0 Posted June 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 Thanks again for the replies... I thought I would provide an update I found the reset all in the service menu and reset the unit. Then I got EE Error when turning it on. So after much digging around on the internet, I stumbled upon this treasure... http://aoix.free.fr/...ompare_HiMD.txt This document contains default values for several Hi-MD units including the NH600D! Using this I have just about returned the unit to normal and all buttons are working as they were before I messed around with service mode. The remaining issue is with HI-MD discs not playing and I am working on that now. I will keep you posted. More Good News! After reading through the document linked above and matching MT, NV, and Design my NH600D is backing to normal working order and fully recovered! Lessons learned, I will be staying out of service mode especially on the RH1. I must say after listening to the NH600D I am very impressed with the SQ. I was a little worried about the lack of an HD Digital Amp like the RH1 has but I got to say this thing sounds amazing! Thanks again for your help. I hope maybe the document I linked above can help some other folks as well. I take no credit for it I just stumbled across it during my googling last night.

sfbp Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 After a 911 reset you are supposed to do the (automated) Servo Overall Adjustment. If you got lucky and put someone else's values in, you may be overdriving the optical block to a premature demise. Recommend you learn how to do it. You need a. 1 Regular MD 2. Regular MD full of HiMD music 3. 1GB disk full of music. 4. The service manual for the NH900. Good luck! PS many folks actually would take the analogue amp over the "HD digital" version.

Ranger0 Posted June 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Thanks for the info sfbp... I took a look at the nh900 service manual and located the procedure. Where can I get the special disks that are mentioned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 They're actually not that special. You can make them as long as you have a functioning unit that is properly aligned. It's probably a mistake to use your NH600D to create them, however. Jim Hoggarth seems to say he has the process down pat....

Ranger0 Posted June 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 If you can let me know how to make them that would be great. I have an RH1 here that I can use to make the discs and I have plenty of MD's and Hi-MD's. Thanks again, Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 IIRC (Jim, where are you) the first disk should be blank 80m. The second should be HiMD formatted 80m, and filled with music (256kbps, Hi-SP seems to work ok). The third is a 1GB disk completely filled with music. I don't think it matters much.
