Tomdigital Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 Well I received my NH 900 yesterday. It is great, but it looks more like the old 700 models, sounds great. But there is a huge minus. The disply is so tiny and it is nearly impossible to read when the lighting is not perfect. This is especially bad when you want to set manual recording levels - in a concert or so. It is absolutely impossible to read. Why does one still have to click through so many levels to set rec volume? The display on my RS 900 was much better. Wel all in all it is a good machine, but that to me is a huge minus.

bigland Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 It's not just my machine then! I bought the a NH900 yesterday, and have also found the recorder's display hard to read - it's not the size so much for me, but the background is so dark. At first, I was relieved to see you could adjust the contrast, but that doesn't make any difference to the visibilty. I've been contemplating exchanging it for an NH1, which appears to have the equivalent display on the remote, but I prefer having the option of a dry battery power supply. Of course, now I've seen this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ppk3000 Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 The NH1's unit display is almost useless at a thin 1-line dimension, plus it's somewhat hard to see and its contrast cannot be adjusted. The 3-line remote is easier to look at, as long as you don't hold it in an angle against bright light sources where a glaring reflection would show... which isn't hard, I got used to it rather quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 I agree about the display on the 900 and wish it had playback meters like some other models Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes some type of sound after a set number of minutes from 1 to 99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
