Guest Anonymous Posted May 2, 2003 Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 Hi, Had an mz-r70 for 1.5 years now, but it just developed a fault where there's obvious distortion in the basses. Even more obvious when mega bass is turned up. Like crackling sound that you'd get on poor quality tapes. Changed battery, changed headphones, tried recording with optical cable on 2 different devices (live drive and cd player) tried analog cable from pc. The distortion is distinct even as its recording (listening to it as it records). Volume doesn't seem to make a difference, connected the new head phones directly to the device bypassing the remote. Some repair center said nothing was wrong with it. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmore Posted June 14, 2003 Report Share Posted June 14, 2003 Could it be that the original songs/music that you were recording have bass levels that were too high for the player to take ? I do encounter bass such bass distortion with my MZ-R500. Actually not exactly a problem with my player, its more of the music that i'm recording it. I think appraently the bass levels of the music was too high. So what i did was to do some low frequency filtering before i actually get it on my MD. That helps abit. Does your bass distortion occurs on all the different types of music you record on it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted June 29, 2003 Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 hi thanks for your comment, but it does happen on all sorts of music not just very high bass tunes, obviously it's less apparent, but it's not 'normal' distorsion, I was wondering if there was a fix going through the service menu or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 I have the same problem..and I'm talking about a brand new MD (MZ-N910). Dunno what to do with it really...about 1/10 of the tunes I tried made clipping sound. That's not so good. Should I try to replace it?

Guest Anonymous Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 I wouldn't make a big deal about it. Probably even the latest ATRAC version still doesn't equalize the bass like Lame MP3. Just replaygain your recordings to a lower level before transferring to MD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
