Guest Anonymous Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 HI ive got a portable sony net MD and a hi fi with md playing and recording capabilities. However the HIFI only plays minidiscs that are either recorded in normal or monoraLP format, thus does not play LP2 or LP4. What i want to do is copy a LP2 minidisc from the portable to my hifi as a monoural recording. Im using a digital toslink cable. I set the hifi to digital-in but the phrase 'unlock' is always displayed. Why is it locked? How do i 'unlock' the hifi? recording using optical cables on the setting: optical-in works fine. However, this type of recording does not transfer track marks so i would like to record digitally. Hope someone can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ_Palmer Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 Unless I'm greatly mistaken here, you can't record digitally from any current portable MD - only analogue. You can't send a digital signal from your portable to your hi-fi, you can only get an analogue (line) signal from your loine/headphine out. Only some decks have digital outputs, and even then you might be thwarted by SCMS copy control restrictions. What you need is stereo line cable and then you can record in analogue. Hopefully your hi-fi has a line/aux-in - usually found on the back. Get a suitable cable from an audio store - either an RCA/minijack or minijack/minijack lead depending on the type of aux/line in. If your portable has a line out mode, use that, or set the volume to max and bass/EQ off. Start recording on your hi-fi, play your portable. You'll need to make your own tracks marks, unless your hi-fi has a sync record mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
