Bazirker Posted December 11, 2002 Report Share Posted December 11, 2002 Meaning these recorders are in development right now? Hmmmm, perhaps me buying an N10 should go on hold, especially since I have yet to investigate atrac3plus (although I certainly have many doubts.)

MDpower Posted December 11, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2002 Yeah, i bet those units are already developed. Sony is just waiting for a profitable time to launch the units. Anyone checked the .inf file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDpower Posted December 11, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2002 It seems there is also going to be a MZ-NE/NF 610 W model, with 'W'irless remote control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redslert Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 lol yeah, i think these units already exist! i bet sony is just holding it back, waiting for everyone to buy the expensive n10 units and then release the cheap versions later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

einolu Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 a 510, 710, 910, and the NF units, what up, sony has never released THAT many units, unless they are planning something VERY special! ~EO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darK (aka Tharaka) Posted December 16, 2002 Report Share Posted December 16, 2002 what does 'NF' mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazirker Posted December 16, 2002 Report Share Posted December 16, 2002 I don't think anyone knows what NF means yet, but here's my guess. (If anything I say is wrong, please feel free to correct me, cause these are all observations that I haven't exactly gone back and double checked.) MZ-Rxx means, basically, first gen minidisc recorders. MZ-Rxxx means MDLP recorders. MZ-Nxxx means NetMD MDLP recorders. So, MZ-NFxxx or whatever likely adds a major function because it adds another letter to the name. MY GUESS would be atrac3plus, in which case I'll likely avoid NF recorders like the plague. I like my current atrac3, thank you very much. Lower bitrates usually means lower sound quality, and crap on that man. I dunno, if they can still record and read normal MDLP, I'd consider one, but otherwise, no damn way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostChordSearcher Posted December 16, 2002 Report Share Posted December 16, 2002 So what does everybody think MZ-NExxx means? Recorders that only have NetMD capability (no line/optical in), maybe? I'm hoping NF means it supports high speed upload! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darK (aka Tharaka) Posted December 16, 2002 Report Share Posted December 16, 2002 high speed upload on Normal Play not LP with NetMd would be good.. considering 1.6X is a little bit slow... anyway... yeah... what could the E in NE mean? anyone got any ideas? maybe i'll check the Minidisc T-Board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leland Posted December 29, 2002 Report Share Posted December 29, 2002 Just a guess, but the cycle in Japan for recorders is usually in the fall, so that might be done. The cycle in the US and Europe seems to be spring. In recent years, due to differences in the geographic markets, the available models in different countries has become diverse. These could be springtime new models for the US and Europe. Could E mean Europe? For instance, virtually none of the AA battery only models has ever been marketed in Japan. The N505 and N707 are not available there. So far, in Japan, the only N models have been the N1 and the N10 (I speak only of Sony here). I suspect these will be updates to the US and European models that will have some of the features of the N10, but not others. The built-in LIon battery for instance might give way to a single AA with a bump, etc. There might be less focus on the extremely small size, which plays best in Japan. Who knows, perhaps the N10 will be a Japan only product and that is why it comes with Japanese only software, unlike the N1. Very interesting!

Guest Anonymous Posted January 11, 2003 Report Share Posted January 11, 2003 here's the link for some of the specs for these units and pics too http://64.35.93.160/digitalimages/album?al...album_id=137904 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDX-400 Posted January 11, 2003 Report Share Posted January 11, 2003 what does 'NF' mean?Well I guess from the new introductions of the new units, it appears that the F means that it is equipped with a tuner. But why they didn't stick with the G and call it an NG610 or NG810 is beyond me. Perhaps the tuner is different in some way than the previous units? The remote IS different I suppose. So what does everybody think MZ-NExxx means? Recorders that only have NetMD capability (no line/optical in), maybe? I'm hoping NF means it supports high speed upload!The NE does indeed appear to stand for NetMD downloading/recording but not "real" recording. As for the N910 (?!) perhaps that will be the model the US gets instead of the N10? But what Leland says makes the most sense of all the different models. Not all of them will be available everywhere, they will probably just be different models for different countries... Roland M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doclloyd Posted January 11, 2003 Report Share Posted January 11, 2003 If you look at the link posted by OBI1, you'll find that the N10 is indeed being released in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
