devcoder Posted March 20, 2003 Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 Hey MD Users I am about to purchase my first mini-disc player/recorder and Im thinking about going with the N505. I have a few questions regarding it first though. Does the MD N505 have a remote for it like the N707 does? I have been confused on that topic b/c you dont see it in the pictures but people say its there. Also does the N505 have a backlight for when your listening to music in the dark? Next, can someone explain this new format MDLP that allows you to store up to 5hrs of music on an 80 min mini-disc. How much longer does it take to convert record 5rs worth of music to this MDLP mode? Last but not least is the MZ-NE410 better then the N505? All these factors will help me make my decision. Thanks In Advance -Devcoder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted March 20, 2003 Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 neawyz, i got an mz-n505, pretty good, i say iz worth it, i wouldn't get the 707 because iz more expensive. BUT, the 505 does NOT come witha remote control ( at least mine didn't newayz, i'm sure other don't either), there is no back light, in terms of the MDLP there two modes, 1 is lp2, and the other lp4, lp 2 allows u two record up to double the mindisc capacity, and the lp4 up to 4x. but it doesn't take any longer to record, and there is no conversion involved. but from what i hear, lp4 sounds terrible on this MD, not sure about others though. I haven't tested the lp4 on mine actually. hmm, neawyz other things i'll tell you about it, if you're gonna buy this MD and u want to record CDs direct using your cd-rom u can only do it in LP2 Mode, but it's still good quality. If you wanna record mp3s, there's a software that comes with it and it converts the mp3s in ATRAC mode(not sure exactly wut it's called), and that's how u record. It's good software, a bit buggy but works. the conversion from mp3 to atrac is wut takes long, but other than that. I'd definately recommend this MD. unless you're Loaded with money, dont' buy the other ones, i mean why d'u need a back light or a remote control. i have a remote control that i have from my old md and i don't even use it 'cause it's annoying. so save yourself that extra 100-200bucks and get the 505, about the mz-ne410, i have no idea...

devcoder Posted March 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 Great. Thanks for all the info. on the N505, your probably right might as well go with the n505 cause i didnt really want to spend more then 125 bucks on a MD right now (since this is my first) and the n505 is in the perfect price range. If anyone else out there knows if the mz-ne410 is better then the n505 voice your opinion. Thanks -Devcoder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
