RE: MD: Oldies FM uses minidisc..

1999-08-22 Thread Simon Mackay


BEGIN QUOTE=
The music, which is transferred from old 78s on to mini-disk with no loss of
sound distortion, is interspersed with phone-ins and occasional health
advice.
END QUOTE===

By copying the old 78s to MiniDisc, they are able to have the irreplaceable
recordings on a format that doesn't deteriorate with repeated play. A lot of
these 78s were acoustically recorded direct to disc and often, to get
marketable quantities out of these recordings, they had artists performing
repeated sessions before arrays of horns. Due to this factor, there are
smaller quantities of these recordings in existence.

Therefore it is imperative for any radio station who is broadcasting
irreplaceable material to archive the irreplaceable material onto a durable
medium. Some digital formats such as MiniDisc still retain the "comfort
factor" noise floor during copying of the old analogue discs (the 78rpm
shellac records made before the 50s and the 33.33rpm and 45rpm vinyl records
made since the 50s).

With regards,

Simon Mackay

MD: off topic- cd burner repair

1999-08-22 Thread Michael Hooker


hi,
sorry to be off topic, but the tech knowledge is better here . my cd
burner will neither burn a disc, nor read a disc reliably. it is a
matushitsu( panasonic) cw- 7502-b ( scsi).it is one year old, and i have
burned possibly 500- 600 discs with it. is it just worn out, or can it be
serviced or calibrated? can i do this with software, or is there a place i
can send it? finally, is it worth repairing? i paid 200.00 US for it last
summer. i bought a plextor 4x cd-rw scsi drive this summer for almost the
same amount.

thanks,
Mike Hooker

Re: MD: recovering deleted tracks

1999-08-22 Thread Jane Dowe


You didn't say what recorder you have.  You have not recorded anything else
on that disc, so if you have a machine that can clone TOCs (or you can visit
someone who has one and use his/hers), yes.


I have a Kenwood DMC-K7R.  My manual is in Japanese, so I'm trying to
figure out if I can do this...

Oh... this must be it.  EDIT/AUTO MARK: Name Stamp, Read OK?, Reading,
Change MD, Insert MD, TOC Read, Write OK?, Writing!, Complete.  I can't
read the Japanese commentary but this looks like what you're talking about.


Thanks so much!

Re: MD: Deck and Portable Reliability

1999-08-22 Thread Steve


Glad to hear it, perhaps I am too jaded by my JE-510 problems.  My
Sony R50 portable recorder and E40 portable player have both been
flawless.

Regards,   Steve

FWIW, I currently have 7 MD recorders/players of various ages.  Only problem

Re: MD: recovering deleted tracks

Jane asked,

You didn't say what recorder you have.  You have not recorded anything else
on that disc, so if you have a machine that can clone TOCs (or you can visit
someone who has one and use his/hers), yes.

If all the tracks on that disc were mono or all were stereo, record a single
track in that mode on another disc that fills the disc, and then clone it
to the disc whose tracks were mistakenly deleted.  Then redivide and retitle
the tracks.

MD: MZ-E40 / Latest Sony Outlet prices

1999-08-22 Thread Davez


Many thanks to all who helped with my Sony MZ-E40 question.

Now I read in the manual (duh), it does cover this noise that the unit
makes:

"Note on Mechanical Noise:"
"The player gives out mechanical noise while operating, which is caused by
the power-saving system of the player and is not a trouble".

So the player is working just fine.
***
Was in the Sony Outlet store in Kenosha,WI late last week..and I see that
they have (or maybe had by now ??) a couple of high end MD decks (ES series)
at pretty good prices. These are brand new and not used/returns units.

MDS-JA20ES for $ 399.95
MDS-JA3ES   for $ 499.95

Who knows why ? I picked up a JA20ES and it is a VERY nice unit. Indeed
"Brand New".factory sealed carton. At that time they had a good 10 in stock.
Not sure if other Sony outlet stores in the US have these same prices/decks
..I cannot tell you ?? Maybe these models are on the way out ?? Either
way..some excellent buys. At least if they are still on sale..could not tell
if this was for the week-weekend sale.. etc...did not ask ??

I picked up that MZ-E40 player for (re-furb) for $ 69.95 at that same
store.Came with a brand new pair of very minor headphones and the case.
