sony_man Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 hi i havent used a remote on an md before considering i only had the ne410. so i am getting the newest model from sony, the MZNF520D. this one comes with a remote. i still dont have this model yet but i was wondering how you can use it. like, if i kept the player in my pocket, which you would do if you had a remote, can you move the hold button to stop control on the player but still be able to use your remote? and can you press hold on the remote instead of the player? im sorry.... read my signature.

MDX-400 Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 Hey don't be so hard on yourself. If you do simple stuff before asking like a search and if you can't find anything and ask a question, I'm sure lots of ppl would be more than glad to help As for your question, yes, when you have a unit with a remote both the unit and the remote have separate (and independent) HOLD switches. Setting one only affects that particular peice (either the unit or the remote) the other is unaffected and will still operate provided its HOLD switch is not activated. As for the model number, I kinda have a question myself... Are you sure it is the NF520D? Last I knew it was called the N520, no radio and no D at the end. But it did look like it was a download only unit which would warrant the D at the end... But I've been away from MD news for a while, so it could have changed... But strange that you would consider the N520 (or NF520D whatever it actually is) when that unit is not a Hi-MD unit. I'd consider spending a bit more money and getting a Hi-MD unit. Simply because older std. MD units are coming to an end--the N520 is probably the last one you'll see I think. If you truly don't want/need Hi-MD then by all means; but if I were you I'd wait a little longer and put some more money in and get a Hi-MD unit...

Definitely a radio-enabled unit. Looks like Sony changed their mind on this one. They added the much needed "D" designation (that was absent before) and the appropriate "F" designation along with the addition of the tuner-remote. Such ashame that it is a downloader-only, especially being a non-Hi-MD unit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
