Asking for advice from experienced MD users

[tbger99]

Hello everyone,

I'm in a situation where I want to digitally convert a few old minidiscs to PC files. Most of the discs were recorded in LP (LP2).

What I would like to get is a deck, not a portable unit. And it got to have a digital output.

I figured minidisc decks with digital output that also support MDLP are significantly expensive. Also, I've been told to use an MZ-RH10 (RH1 maybe ?) but it looks like it transfers USB data, which I assume it cannot do for my discs ... (?). No idea about all that really.

I've put my hands on a cheap MDS-JE500 but then again, no MDLP support which is necessary for reading most (about 5 ?) of my discs.

What would you recommend me to do considering it's only for a few discs ?

Lots of confusion and ignorance here indeed.

Thanks for reading. Any help appreciated

You should be able to get an MDLP deck with optical out without too much trouble.

I've listed them somewhere but here is a list of models that should not be TOO expensive:

MDS-JE640 (you can also convert an MDS-440, or an MXD-D40 or an MXD-D5C without too much trouble, to have optical out)

MDS-JE770

MDS-JE780

MDS-JE980 (this is on the upper end pricewise)

Also the MDS-PC3 is a wonderful machine. Solves many many problems.
