gjkendall Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 This is my first post here, so Hi and please, be gentle with me.... I currently own a Sony MZ-R501, I have been really happy with it, but for some reason, it has started to not be able to put track marks in the correct place. I have tried all that is detailed in the instructions, yet it will not track mark properly. It's annoying but I can live with it, it just would be nice to be able to fix it. Any ideas what I can do? I now see that HI-MD is out, I am VERY interested in upgrading to this format, but I do not own a PC (I only have PC/internet access at work). Without PC access is HI-MD still worthwhile or should I wait a while? Thanks for taking the time to read this post, hope you can help Regards Gavin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ_Palmer Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Perhaps your source player needs a head clean - noisy playback can interfere with Sony's auto track marking, which is none too good anyway (at least for analogue recordings). You can use a Hi-MD recorder in the same ways for recording as a standard MD (like your R501) - unless you get the NH6000D, which is a PC "downloader" only. With Hi-MD you just get more choice and capacity - you can even use your current standard blanks. I don't have a PC either, but I can use the one at work for titling etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjkendall Posted August 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Hi There, and thankyou for such a quick response! Hmmm, i'll try giving the source player a clean! So, I am on the verge of getting a HI-MD! What model is recomended, especially as it will not be connected to a pc very often! I'm assuming the cheapest would be the most suitable, but what is the general consensus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ_Palmer Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Hi. I'd suggest the NH700 (or if not available maybe the NHF800) for lower level as this has the advantage of mic recording plus line/optical input. The NH600 is OK too, but has no mic input and worse still no line in/optical in the States (though the Euro/Asia model has). I think the availbility of the machines depends on your area - eg. in the UK we can get the NH600/700 and NHF800, though you might not. If you can afford a bit extra and can wait a bit longer, the NH900 would probably be the best all-rounder in the Hi-MD world... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
