KJ_Palmer Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Thanks Dave, let us know how it goes. T.C.R. = Tottenham Court Road (London) for anyone wondering... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveOooo Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 yeah the having to use the ac adaptor is a pain - especialy if you want to record on mobile. I recorded loads of video recordings of concerts etc and am pleased with the hi-sp facility - obvioulsly im getting the tape noise but still alright for listing whilst traveling. mp3s converted to hi-lp sound crap! not very loud and very flat. btw. do you think i could sell my hi-blank on ebay and get a tidy sum?

jadeclaw Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 btw. do you think i could sell my hi-blank on ebay and get a tidy sum?Nope. Not worth the effort. I say, keep it. And speaking of using AC for recording on a Hi-MD-disc, it isn't that critical. Using a good quality, high capacity NiMH-battery gives well above 5 hours per charge on my NH700. The NH900 with internal battery plus a high capacity NiMH will definitely give even more time. Remember, AA dry cells give way much faster than NiMH batteries under high current load.

dave_bass5 Posted August 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Ive just got back from rehearsals with my band. i recorded the whole 4 hours in hi-sp using just the supplied battery. im happy with that although i cant edit the disc untill i recharge and the indicator is down to 1 bar. I wish i could see some sort of play back level indication on the tiny display as ive got the volume at max and its just loud enough with the headphones i normaly use with my Mz-N1. so far im sort of dissapointed with the 900 but ill grow to like it.

steveOooo Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 well ive had my nh900 for exactly a week now and havent had the need to recharge the nh-10w battery yet! - it goes to one bar then two days later its back to the full three bars ??

dave_bass5 Posted August 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 Im just trying out the battery from my Mz-N1, its a higher capacity so i hope ill get more out of it. I understand what you are saying about staying at 1 bar for ages in play mode but the battery is to low to do any edits on a 1gb disc, this is my biggest complaint. Dave.

dex Otaku Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 About the battery stuff: I've been using the 700mAh NiMh that came with my MZ-NH700 and even with it I can run about 2 hours straight recording with a Hi-MD disc. Mind you, I always carry a bag of spare alkalines with me. I'm just saying that I don't know about that AC power warning - I haven't had any problems at all yet and I have only swapped the NiMh out for an alkaline once so far. I need a few more rechargeables though. It would be nice to have some 2400mAh batteries to go out with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
