Guest Anonymous Posted December 5, 2002 Report Share Posted December 5, 2002 I'd like to keep my md protected while recording. Input is via external microphone. Is it possible to start/pause/stop recording using only the remote on Sharp MDs? How about control record levels? Yep, I'm clueless...

Mystyler Posted December 5, 2002 Report Share Posted December 5, 2002 Clueless, what model Sharp are you using? If it is the newer MT770/MT888/MT880/MT899 then you should be able to record from the unit and adjust the levels(? I think), but there is no VU metre on the remote - you still have to monitor these on the unit itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazirker Posted December 5, 2002 Report Share Posted December 5, 2002 You can't keep your MD protected while recording. If the disc is protected, it means that it won't allow a recorder to make any modifcations to the disc at all whatsoever, i.e. no recording is allowed. So, protecting the disc while recording is essentially not only paradoxical but impossible by definition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystyler Posted December 5, 2002 Report Share Posted December 5, 2002 I believe he means keeping the unit itself protected, in his pocket or case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what he actually meant that he likes to keep the actual MD UNIT protected/hidden while recording--like being in his pocket, bag, etc. Clueless, you might want to check out your manual for your MD or check your model on the minidisc.org equipment browser and see if it makes any mention of it. Not many recorders had this feature in the past. I remember my Aiwa AM-F70 was pretty much the only MD to allow record starting from the remote when I bought it, but most of the modern Sharp units do have a red record button on the remote like Mystyler mentioned so if don't see the record button on the remote you probably can't do it I don't think.

Bazirker Posted December 8, 2002 Report Share Posted December 8, 2002 lol! oops. well, then you could always start your recording and then quickly bubble wrap your recorder, then put it in a safe, then hide that in a secret compartment in your house...naw, j/k. I'm a little slow...sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
