Tiesto Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 Hi there, I want to know if any remote for the NetMD works with the MZNH600D. Thanks in advance. d()b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeriyn Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 Hi there. Two remotes that I know of will work with the NH600D. First off, I know positively that the RM-MC33EL will work with the NH600D, having tested it myself with my MC33EL (my N10 remote). It's a nice little remote, too. Easy to use, easy to read, lightweight and has a reversible clothing clip. Audiocubes carries the unit for around $50. I imagine that the NH1's remote, the RM-MC40ELK will also work with the NH600D, but I don't know if the 3-line functionality works properly with the NH600D. The 600 has a 3-line main display, so it may or may not work properly. I don't know. Audiocubes also has this remote, I think for around $65ish.

Tiesto Posted August 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 What about the tuner remote RM-MC37LT (from the NF610 :smile: ). I wondered if it works I might buy the NH600D instead of NH700. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 That remote is only compatible with the unit it came with, and will not provide FM/AM/TV functionality with the NH600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiesto Posted August 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 yes, you're right, but the playback functions is what Im concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latexxx Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 Just to remind everybody, the European version of mz-nh600, which has line-in, doesn't have any support for remote controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeriyn Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 yes, you're right, but the playback functions is what Im concerned.Yes, but that remote is big, bulky, not backlit, and has a weird dongle attached to the cord near the miniplug and remote connector. On top of all that, it has two small plastic tabs on the underside which prevent it from physically fitting on units without small niches, which means units designed for that particular remote. (My little brother has an NF520D, which has this remote, and it will not fit in either my old N505, N10 or my R900.) Also, it's EXTREMELY expensive... Audiocubes carries it for $230US (?!) and I still can't figure out why. Personally I'd go with either of the remotes I suggested, but I know for a fact the RM-MC33EL works properly. Also, the UK version of the 600 is not labeled as a Downloader, because it does have an optical/line-in jack. Latexxx is right, however, it does not even have a remote port and thus will not accept any sort of remote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiesto Posted August 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 :ohmy: is that so?... I guess I have to get extra money for the NH700 (damn! :whatever:). Thanx anyway. ps. Im from SouthAmerica and the NH700 will be the official HI-MD for LatinAmerica. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdy Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Just to remind everybody, the European version of mz-nh600, which has line-in, doesn't have any support for remote controller.Hi, I bought the MZ-NH600 some weeks ago in Norway and this unit has line in and does infact also have support for remote controller. It is also possible to connect an AC power adapter or adapter for use in the car etc. I still think it's very strange to strip the US model of the 600 with all these features, but that's Sony's decition.... Anyway I'm very satisfied with my unit, and I'm eagerly wating to get the 1GB media when it finally comes to Norway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeriyn Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 I think maybe Sony assumes a lot by region. I believe that since the most heavily-marketed MD units in the US are generally the low-end NetMD only models, they don't think the average consumer would record the (good) slow way. Judging from most average people I know, I'd say they probably have it right. Most of the people who buy a NetMD capable unit are not going to record via the optical/line-in jack. I just bought an NF520D for a great friend of mine; she loves it completely, especially being able to use MD Simple Burner to quickly throw her CDs on MD. Anyhow... real quality is obtained from MD deck-based recording in SP. Most of these average customers aren't as interested in audio equipment as a good deal of us are. :happy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiesto Posted August 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Anyone knows where might I get the RM-MC21? I want to know if that is cheaper than the RM-MC33EL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vova Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 The remote that came with my Sony EJ-2000 discman works fine the MD player too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krismorgan Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Just quick note, The remote from my now defunct MZ-R700-model number RM-MZ4R seems to work fine with my european MZ-NH600S, So does the mains adapter from the MZ-R700. I have not gone in to depth with titling etc yet, But the basic,HOLD,PLAY.FF,REW,VOLUME UP/DOWN ETC work fine. Not a big deal to me however as i never used the remote in the 1st place which is why it was left in a drawer & forgotten about. But this may be of use to someone if you only require the remote for basic functions, Kris M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the european model doesnt have any remote jack... does this S model have it? http://www.minidisc.org/images/sony_mznh60...silver_mymd.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krismorgan Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 Yes it does have the remote jack & ac power jack too, The s on the end of the 600 denotes the colour, In this case my model which is silver, Kris M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeriyn Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 I thought the european model doesnt have any remote jack... does this S model have it?Apparently the prototype photos of the NH600 UK variant showed the device without a remote port. :sleep: But the actual production models seem to have a remote port.

sony_man Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 aeriyn's idea is so cool: using the nh1 remote on the 600d! you can get the coolest part of the most expensive and put it on the stylish cheaper minidisc. i might as well do that.

aeriyn Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 I'm not entirely positive that the proper 3-line functions would even work on the NH600D... they might, they might not. But you could always return it. :rasp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiesto Posted August 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 NO, the remote (RM-MC37LT) that came with my MD does not have any light... hmmm... wait, I think the remote of the MZN520D, which doesnt have AM, has back light Im not quite sure though. **I look up and think: that was a straight answer?** Ok, the tuner remote RM-MC37LT does not have back light.

See the features about the remote from this link: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detai...ronics&n=507846 misleading publicy or misprinting? The customer reviews clarify that.

aeriyn Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 That would be a prototype photo. Note where the remote cord plugs in, and note the lack of the dongle box which hangs on the actual NF520D remote cord. I have one of these units, purchased at a pawnshop for half the normal price, that I gave to a great friend of mine who wanted to get into MD. She liked the long battery life and the radio function also. The remote that is shipped with this unit, the RM-MC34LT, is NOT backlit. In fact it is virtually identical to the RM-MC37LT, with the exception that it doesn't support AM-band radio (unlike the previous radio-tuner equipped MD units). It's also big, ugly, and it has that strange thing attached to the remote cord which I presume is part of the antenna for receiving radio signals.
