philpem Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 First off, my MZ-N710 (I actually wanted an MZ-N910 but the local Sony Centre had one listed in stock but couldn't find it!) is my first MD recorder of any type, so if I make any silly assumptions or say something that's downright incorrect, feel free to comment I've read various messages on this forum regarding the low output on the MZ-N710. Just out of interest, what headphones/earphones/whatever are you guys using with your N710s? I've got a set of Sony MDR-Q22LP clip-ons. When coupled with my N710 at full volume, the output is downright painful. Sony's specsheet for the Q22LP lists the sensitivity at 103dB/mW. Does anyone have the specs for the "stock" in-ear "blob-on-a-stick" earphones that Sony bundle with the N710? I'm from the UK and my N710 came from a Sony Centre store, so I guess it's probably the European "crippled" version. Only thing worth noting is that it's a refurbished unit, so I guess it might be possible that it was sent back due to low sound output, then modified to provide 5mW output instead of 1.2mW by whoever worked on it... BTW, thanks to whoever came up with the "Nero and SimpleBurn" trick to bypass the check-in/check-out DRM on SonicStage. Very nice Anyone have any suggestions for low-cost microphones suitable for the N710? What about online music services - is anyone using iTunes or Sony CONNECT with an MD recorder? Finally, besides Ebay, does anyone know where I could get one of the Sony RM-MC11EL backlit MD remotes reasonably cheaply? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 Welcome. There is no check/in check out limitation with Sonicstage 2. I suggest you go to the NetMD faq [found in the NetMD forum] and uninstall via the directions it gives. Then install Sonicstage 2 from connect.com. What about online music services - is anyone using iTunes or Sony CONNECT with an MD recorder?Connect should be seamless. iTunes info is in the NetMD faq. Anyone have any suggestions for low-cost microphones suitable for the N710?Check out the Live Recording forum + soundprofessionals.com Finally, besides Ebay, get one of the Sony RM-MC11EL backlit MD remotes reasonably cheaply?Define "cheap".

philpem Posted July 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 Welcome. There is no check/in check out limitation with Sonicstage 2. I suggest you go to the NetMD faq [found in the NetMD forum] and uninstall via the directions it gives. Then install Sonicstage 2 from connect.com. Already have. I installed the MD driver kit off the Sonicstage 1.5 CD I got with my '710, skimmed through the MD FAQ and grabbed the Sonicstage 2 installer. If they've removed checkin/checkout I might give it a shot. Check out the Live Recording forum + soundprofessionals.comWill do - thanks. Define "cheap".Cheaper than the "We might be able to get you one, but it'll probably take a few weeks and cost about ninety quid" response I got from the local Sony spare-parts dealer. I'll keep an eye open - there's bound to be someone who dropped their '810 down a set of concrete stairs, smashed the casing and wants to recover some of their investment Thanks.
