stonent Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 I was disappointed when buying an MD recently at bestbuy (not sure the model) but it said record from radio, cd, or pc. So naturally I assumed it had an audio jack. Nope, it has an optical in jack. What a bunch of BS. So what I need is this: Analog in USB uploading Portable (AA battery preferably) I can't wait for HI-MD so this has to be one that is out currently. Purpose: Recording ghosts/paranormal activity Regular casette causes too much background noise and hiss, and I think this would be perfect.

stonent Posted February 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 I'm looking at the MZ-NF810CK but it comes with a bunch of stuff I don't need. Now that I did some reading, it looks like USB uploading may not be possible, so I might leave that feature out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mAjEsTiC Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 USB uploading as u are aware is not possible yet...not until the Hi-MD's come out neways no current portable MD unit has this feature...but have you taken a look at the Sharp range of units??? they offer practically what you are looking for and they're pretty cheap as well...

Guest Anonymous Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Hi Sharp is the way to go. In terms of value for money, it is better. The dr420 is the best recording unit for a lowish price compared to sony. It has a built in mic jack and comes with an optical cable and analgue cable. Just buy a cheap electret mic if you want to do live recording. http://www.sharp.co.uk/products/range.asp?id=58 check it out here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 If you want USB uploading, which seems to be an important feature for you, wait for Hi-MD to come out. Only a month or so away.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
