Volume MZ-N10

[Bishop]

Hi @ all,

I have a question about the volume output of the N-10. When I decided to buy one I only knew units with digital mega bass and not with a 6-band equilizer. So here is the point :!:

I got the impression that the N-10 volume output is quiet low and the bass is not that powerful. :cry: I don't understand much about the technics, but is there any way to higher the volume output? The facts:

-i've the european version of the n-10

:!: -avls is OFF

-i use the mdr g72 as headphones which improve the sound already (the earphones which came with the unit really SUCK :evil: )

Is there a way to enter the service mode to enable the output rate of the non-european version, cuz the volume display in the remote could be turned higher (you can see that it is not on top when it say it is, by looking at the remote sidaways) :?: :idea: :?:

Thanks for ur answers,

Bishop

PS: What do you guys/pro's think about the N-10 generally???

I think it's a lemon.

Just got my 710 ad was very worried about what I'd heard about it being so quiet.

Making it loud is REALLY easy.

DOes yours have an Equaliser setting.

If so, then you can change all the settings to make them really loud. This is how I did it on the 710 (I've put this info else where today, but love mini disc so much, I'm really upset for people who find theirs quiet.)

Good luck:

There is NO HACK required here (you shouldn't hack it anyway, or you'll invalidate your waranty. It's a beautiful machine.)

Read p 34 and p 35 in your instruction manual (or the section headed "Adjusting the sound - Virtual Surround 6 Band Equaliser)."

The automatic settings that it came with are quiet so as not to ruin people's hearing (and to stop SOny being sued - I guess).

What you do is:

1/ On your remote Press Sound repeatedly until your display says "SOUND".

2/ Press and HOLD the Sound Button for about 2 seconds or more.

3/ Slide the jog lever repeatedly (either left or right, it doesn't matter) to select the sound mode.

4/ NOTE all of the other options are very quiet (ie HEAVY and POPS etc). SO you have to select CUSTOM 1

5/ Press the jog lever (press it IN, like a push button).

6/ You should now have a row of little lines. This represents your 6 Band Equaliser !!! (Definitely DON'T throw your beautiful new MD away young lady!)

7/ Each little line can be moved up and down to make that particular frequency higher or lower.

8/ Move the volume button repeatedly. Each time you move it up (ie volume higher), the little line will move up, and down for down (of course). TO set that first little line, push the jog dial to the RIGHT.

9/ Now you'll be on the 2nd little line, and so you should do the same again, gor each little line.

10/ Press the button IN when you're done.

Hey Presto! A REALLY LOUD mini disc player.

Look forward to shouting at you all when we're older.
