bertrik Posted November 9, 2003 Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 There are indeed a lot of things you can add through the service menu, like melody timer, personal disc memory (pdm), pitch control (dpc), 6-band EQ, virtual sound, katakana editing, line-out option. However some things simply don't work properly (like pdm), while others look weird because the MZ-N510 LCD cannot show enough characters (like melody timer, dpc, 6-band EQ, virtual sound). Personally I find that most of the extra features are just gimmicks, not really useful. I think the only useful features (without any weird side effects) are katakana editing and line-out.

JeffS Posted November 9, 2003 Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 I've got a 510 and I personally love the extra features. As for not working right, there are a few glitches, but most of them can be worked around. Yes, the LCD is too small for them, but if you have an lcd remote, you should be fine. Otherwise, you can figure out your position by counting from each button press. 6 band eq. works fine this way, melody timer is great (I'm a train commuter so I use it daily), others like Line Out, vs. headphones, are great. good luck Besides, it's easy to change it back if you don't like it. -Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertrik Posted November 9, 2003 Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 Besides, it's easy to change it back if you don't like it.Ok, but changing stuff in the service menu is not exactly without risk. You may accidently screw up some calibration setting. Some settings cause the functions of the buttons to change, making it hard to get back into the service menu again. Anyway, each person should make their own decision if they try it or not. I made a list of bits for F-code 61 and 62 hacks for the MZ-N510. It's at: http://home.kabelfoon.nl/~bertrik/netmd/mdhack.html B.T.W. There is a bit that adds a DISP/TITLE menu and I read that it does something with the remote display. Have you tried this bit?

JeffS Posted November 10, 2003 Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 In my display options, I have the option for Title. However it doesn't do anything on the main body lcd. I'm assuming that it will show up on the remote. I haven't gotten around to getting an lcd remote yet. I agree, that there are risks, and each person should make the decision based on whether or not they can deal with the potential outcome. Never gamble with something you aren't willing to lose. -Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
