Here's the catch: due to the way the MDX-65 gets its analog ground, you have to at least connect the shield of one of the RCA's on the MDX-65 to the shield of the RX-X69RF RCA (either channel will work and the center pin need not be connected). This requirement MAY already be taken care of since the radio and the RM-X69RF have the same ground; it was not on the powered speaker. My guess is that this so that the MDX-65 analog circuitry gets a "clean" ground, rather than use the "dirty" power ground in the Unilink cable. This probably helps eliminate electrical noise from the various motors in the MDX-65. END QUOTE=== How is the RM-X69RF controller supplied? Is it supplied with the RF block (which feeds the FM car radio) built into the controller circuitry or as a separate block, apart from the controller box, which just receives power from the controller box and the signal from the changer?

Don't forget that the AHRA also exempts you from copyright infringement suits for engaging in "customary home recording practices", which include copying music from the radio, the library, a friend, etc. Though I do not read in this statute a direct mandate that CDs be made digitally copyable, I think it is implied here, no? The law restricts consumers to making digital copies for one generation, on SCMS equipped units, and in exchange they get protection from suit. Wouldn't CDs that are made copy protected be violating the intent, at least, of this law?

Re: MD: RM-X69RF
How is the RM-X69RF controller supplied? Is it supplied with the RF block (which feeds the FM car radio) built into the controller circuitry or as a separate block, apart from the controller box, which just receives power from the controller box and the signal from the changer? It is in one small metal box 5" x 4" x 1 1/4" with the following connectors on one of the 5" faces: L audio in (RCA), R audio in (RCA), wired remote in 1/8 phone, Unilink, LCD display. On the opposite face: power (4 pin Molex), antenna (Motorola jack on a cable), RF to receiver (Motorola plug on a cable). The LCD module is 4 1/2" x 1 1/4" x 3/4", at the end of a 5 foot cable that can be detached at the main unit. It consists mostly of a large backlit display, a single "power" button that initiates (or suspends) playback, an IR detector for the wireless remote and a "paper clip" CPU reset button. To use it without the FM modulator, simply do not hook up the antenna and RF cables. Also, how do some car radios open up the line-input when the auxiliary source is started? Does this involve any special wiring to cause this trigger and can this controller provide that special trigger arrangement for these radios? Various radios work differently, but the RM-X69RF has an undocumented "amp turn-on" lead (the red/blue wire from the power Molex connector) that goes to +12V when playback is initiated. I guess you *could* just use it with an amp (no radio) if you put a volume control between the changer and the amp.

MD: Analog Recording Questions
I got into MD a short time ago and appreciate all of the things that I'm learning from the postings here. I live in the US and I'm amazed at how poorly MD is promoted here; advertising and in-store stock of MD items is practically non-existent. On-line ordering is better; Camera World of Oregon and Minidisco seem to be the places with the best prices. I actually learned about MD from corresponding with a guy in Australia, who talked me into trying it. I'm certainly glad I listened to him, I've been having a great time with it. I've been trying to decide whether I want to get into trying to defeat SCMS or to just go with making the best analog copies I can when I want to copy something from one MD to another. My main use of MD is to make compilations and to get new listening experiences through trades. I have some questions for the experts on this list about making analog copies: Do I need a second deck, or are there portables that have an RCA-type "line out" jack suitable for recording purposes? I'm assuming that copying through a headphone jack would produce poor quality sound. What has been your experience with the sound quality of copies made this way? Do you have any suggestions about how to go about making MD to MD analog copies to get the best results in terms of sound quality? I apologize if any of this is "newbie" stuff, but, after all, I am a newbie... Thank you. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

People have said in the past that the headphone jacks on Sharp portable records (not sure about playback-only models) have some way to detect whether the other end of the cord has headphones or an input to another machine and to set impedance and other variables accordingly. | Actually I was thinking of a backup reference media, aka a "Book", remember | those things anyone, you know paper and ink ;-) Sure.

Re: MD: Analog Recording Questions
It's the flying nocturnal mammal people say you have in your belfry, Gaz. Colin's cousin Brad is the one who tells us he can distinguish different versions of ATRAC from one another. My "religious beliefs" more or less exclude me from being likely to live in a church with "bats in the belfry". More than 'nuff said I think. I knew who was meant by your comment however and still think Colin's cousin listened to the discs with his eyes rather than his golden ears. B Wouldn't it be great if there were a non-electronic media to store B information, that preferably had some sort of index to locate the required B entry. Ideally portable, and shock-resistant too. Something that could B be just picked up and accessed. Like a human brain? Thought you already had one. It's not 100% shock-proof, but it's still more shock-resistant than a CD-ROM. Actually I was thinking of a backup reference media, aka a "Book", remember those things anyone, you know paper and ink ;-) B I'm being forceitious but I'm allowed to occasionally, yeah? Is forceitious like facetious, only forty times as much? Heheheh! Heheh! Hmm, forcetious passed the spell check in OE5 but your spelling is right me thinks. It's the first email I used it's spell check for and specifically bcos of that one word. No kidding David I've never recently spell-checked otherwise. How come we end up going totally off topic every thread, didn't this start with a MD related question? This is md-l isn't it? Cheers, PrinceGaz -- "Sorry for off-topic postings.

MD: Buying MDs in NYC
I had a funny experience in New York trying to buy a blank MD the other day that I thought some of you might appreciate. I had ordered 18 MiniDiscs from Minidisco at a great price, but they hadn't come yet and I needed a blank to record a rehearsal that night. So I went out into Midtown Manhattan looking for an OK deal--I knew that I wasn't going to find the $2.70 that they cost on Minidisco, but I figured it wouldn't be so bad. I went to HMV, all they had was Sony 4 packs for $19; a little under $5 per disc. That was about what I expected, but I only wanted one high priced disc, since a whole batch of cheapies were about to arrive on my doorstep. So I went to one of those New York sheister electronics places that are everywhere in midtown, and that all sell MD recorders, figuring I could buy 1 disc. I could: for $10! This was bull, so I went to Tower Records downtown and found the same Sony 4-pack deal. I decided to root around, and found within the bowels of Tower a 5 pack of TDKs for $12.99! Now that is a good price, but I still only wanted one, so I bought 1 TDK at the counter for $5. They had another single disc at the counter: a Sony for $11.99! Clearly, MD in the US is the bastard child when it comes to blanks; no one even knows how to price them. But next time I need blanks, I'm buying those super-cheap TDKs, which sounded great :-) Alex === Alex LeVine "Never let ya down with the stereo sound" -Ad Rock Sorry about the ad--what do you expect from free email?! _ Do You Yahoo!?
