Webmaster Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Hi-MD operation manuals appear: Duane Galensky and Jeff point out manuals for Sony's MZ-NH1, MZ-NH900, MZ-NHF800, and MZ-NH700 Hi-MD portables on Sony's documentation site. Sony has a special note there concerning recording power consumption when using Hi-MD media. http://minidisc.org/manuals/sony/Sony_MZ-N...tion_manual.pdf http://minidisc.org/manuals/sony/Sony_MZ-N...tion_manual.pdf http://minidisc.org/manuals/sony/Sony_MZ-N...tion_manual.pdf http://minidisc.org/manuals/sony/Sony_MZ-N...tion_manual.pdf http://minidisc.org/manuals/sony/MZNH600D.pdf http://www.docs.sony.com/release/MZNH900note.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrZhivago Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Only 3 mW headphones output on MZNH900 european model while US model gets 5 mW. Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 French law prohibits Europe from having what is considered a "high" output due to regulations. Search for this, we've discussed it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doclloyd Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Thanks for posting these! I read up on the model I have on order (the NH900) and am excited about it's arrival sometime this month. What's interesting is that there is still little to no information about what happens when you transfer recorded material (in Hi-MD mode) back to the computer. It just mentions that it can be uploaded to the PC... and then silence from the manual. I would have to imagine users would have more questions about this functionality. Why isn't there documentation about this anywhere? Does anyone think some of that info would be updated with the supposed 2.1 update coming this summer (which may include updates to the Connect store as well)?

aaron_ximm Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Re: the question of what happens when you transfer your own recordings to the PC using SonicStage, I would fear the worse: no access to them as normal (ie WAV files) even if recorded at PCM. Notice the section "On Copyright Protection" that says "SonicStage encrypts audio files in OpenMG format and stores them on the hard disk of your computer to prevent unauthorized distribution." Sounds like Sony is, as we all fear, going the extra mile to cripple their very capable hardware. I will be very, very sad if I'm right about this. and will go out of my way to avoid purchasing any Sony product ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Do you think I know how to decipher Sony's madness? No clue, buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|/|3 Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 Maybe they decided that having weak, weaker, and weakest outputs was a good selling point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrZhivago Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 Ok!Cool then. Everything is here. Hype is here, manuals are here. So when do we get to see/buy these "fine" :wacky: devices. I have been waiting for MZNH1 or MZNH900 to be released, for 4 months now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
