PDOG58 Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 I am taking a look at buying either the MZ-NHF800 or MZ-NH900 when the come out and I just cant decide. THe 900 has a lot of options, but it doesnt have the AM/FM tuner i would like. On the other hand, the 800 has the AM/FM tuner, but i loose the charging cradle and the extended battery life (all the other functions the 900 has are really of no use for me. I dont need the digital pitch control, digital amp, or line out function). Could I possibly buy the 900 and buy the AM/FM tuner seperatly? I would like your opinions. thanks for your help!

jadeclaw Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 Nope. You have to take the NHF800, if you want the tuner remote. When you look at the pic of the NHF800, you'll see, that the headphone-connector has to extra notches, that are not visible on the other units. NHF800: http://www.minidisc.org/images/sony_mznhf8...800_avwatch.jpg NH900: http://www.minidisc.org/images/sony_mznh90...900_avwatch.jpg The Headphone is plugged into the bottom connector. Round is Audio, the rectangular is remote. However, the alternative is a separate radio. Why? Digital radio! HD-Radio in the US, the better DAB radio elsewhere. Since the radio-remote is analog, it is not really made for the future... In addition, you cannot record from the remote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am here in Chicago and I think only 2 stations are broadcasting digitally and I havent heard of any that will be any time soon. I guess it is a hard choice. I havent had a walkman in 2 years and I was going to by one, but when I foound out there would be a Hi-MD player with one I thought "let's kill two birds with one stone".

crazeybt1 Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 Jede claw..... u know i never noticed that...cuz i got a MZG750 which has am/fm n altho the remote port was the same as the others that was the only unit capable of powering the radio...so i thought it was gonna b the same with the NH800... ne who thanks 4 pointing that out cuz i certainly over looked it..n i was even considering the 800..but i found that i'm not really into the radio..especially as i don't always use my reomte...to much of a hazard when skating.. ne wayz.. PDOG58...if ur gonna be listening to radio for news or something else then it's a good idea to get the NH800..other wise..the NH900 would be just perfect :wink: but as for Kazaa n other p2p apps around ..i doubt u'll be using radio to listen to hits..( altho i do listen to internet radio for new stuff then download :grin: ).....
