souls Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 It is a good Hi-md player. sound quality is not bad.I can say that it is better than the flash memory type mp3 player. But there is a problem in NH900. It cannot display any Chinese word both the remote controller or the unit itself. It is very important for me.I am a Hong Kong people,I always put some Chinese song in it. One interest thing is the Hi-md 1GB blank disc in HK is very cheap It costs only HK$51.

sxc Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 What is the model number of the remote control? If it has a "K" in it, it should be able to display chinese characters. How do you title your music? Using the Chinese version of SonicStage? Have you considered taking your NH900 to the SonyStyle store in Causeway Bay and asking them how to make the Chinese work?

I asked them by hotline.They said only NH1 can display Chinese. No matter how you use another remote controller on NH900. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sxc Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 I am in HK, but I can't read or input Chinese. I have a NH1 but I don't use the chinese character function. Is the NH1 the first Minidisc player than can support Chinese? Maybe since the NH900 model is not sold in Japan, they did not give it support for Chinese characters.

I need to translate all the Chinese title into English...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 Maybe since the NH900 model is not sold in Japan, they did not give it support for Chinese characters.It is sold in Japan. It's called the World Tourist model. Anyway, please refer to the help documentation, souls. It is listed within there on how to change the native language for the unit [which I assume is what you're referring to]. Audiocubes actually lists how to change this model back to English: http://www.audiocubes.com/product_info.php...products_id=994 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dex Otaku Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 The 900's front is aluminum, back is plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamewing Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 The 900's front is aluminum, back is plastic.Yep, so very, very sad. I have a R900 and a R909. I was hoping to add a 9xx HIMD model to my collection, but I don't want a plastic (or partially plastic MD player/recorder). That is why I gave up on the R700 model. Ick. Why sony why?

skmetal07 Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 ^ kurisu, why would they make some with half metal and plastic and some all metal oh yeah its sony were talking about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazer78 Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 its cool. i was going to get the nh1, but the battery life is rather short. the mz-e10 provided long battery life but since the battery is embedded, you can't replace it (well i wouldn't want to ) half metal/plastic sounds ok to me :smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrZhivago Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 its cool. i was going to get the nh1, but the battery life is rather short. the mz-e10 provided long battery life but since the battery is embedded, you can't replace it (well i wouldn't want to ) half metal/plastic sounds ok to me :smile:You are somewhat wrong here. Nh1 battery lasts much longer then nh900 supplied battery. Nh900 battery is actually very crappy battery on its own. See this kurisu thread about batteries. http://forums.minidisc.org/viewtopic.php?t...989aaee8ebccbd9 NH1 LiIo battery is not embedded,you can replace it,or even buy another one to use as spare.

Leland Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 And in my experience, LiIon technology is more reliable and robust than NiMH. The gumsticks always seemed to wimp out on me long before I expected them to, whereas LiIon was always consistent and predictable. This is based on my R2, R-30, R-50, N-10 vs. R-90, R-900 etc. experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheerserm, i was referring to the nh900 + the attached battery case, giving it around 35 hrs playback versus the 17 hours the nh1 provides.
