MDGB2 Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 All this has probably been covered before, but I haven't visited the forum for a while now so please bear with me. I am in the UK and currently deciding which Hi-MD unit to get to replace my Sharp MD-MT88 portable. I currently use the portable to make MDLP compilation discs from CDs (via an Optical cable & my hi-fi) and have no experiance of NetMD. Will Hi-MD be a big step up for me?? I was going to go for the cheap MZ-NH600, but read a few bad things about it so will probably go for the MZ-NH700. Anyone have any good/bad opinions of this model? How much recording time of LP2 quality audio can you get from a re-formatted 74/80min disc? And how much uncompressed PCM audio will a reformated disc hold? And lastly, when will Sony make a full size Hi-MD Hi-fi deck? I'm still waiting for a worthy successor to my MDS-JB920. :grin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sony_man Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 what did they say about the 600? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDGB2 Posted August 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 Things like it had a poor user interface and not many inputs. (Although I think the European model has an Optical input?) One thing I would like about the 600 is that it takes good ol' AA 'pencil' batteries. Don't fully trust these chewing-gum stick rechargeable things... :whatever: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadeclaw Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 Everything you need to know is in here: http://www.minidisc.org/manuals/sony/Sony_...tion_manual.pdf The NH700 takes AA-cells too. And comes with battery and charger/PSU User Review is here: http://forums.minidisc.org/viewtopic.php?t=5633 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutant1345 Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 well if you make your own compilations and dont need it for live recording then high speed usb transfer is better than optical in ...unless you dont have a computer....then i suggest the 700 but otherwise the 600 isnt as bad a model as what it sounds....it works just fine if you arent really really really picky about every little thing on yer player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDGB2 Posted August 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 Thanks very much for your help. :cool: I've ordered an NH-700 in silver. (For some reason £8 cheaper than the blue one!) :happy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazeybt1 Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 that's probably so because they want all their buyers to look uniformed.. or probably just daring you to be different.. :smile: at your expense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
