RE: MD: Terratec Soundsystem DMX

1999-12-02 Thread tommie


Hey guys,
Went out and bought a DMX yesterday (~145$). But before I build it into
my PC I'd like to know the following things:
1. I've only got a German Manual. Even though my German is fairly good,
I'd like to have an English one. Is it available anywhere on the web ?
2. Where do I plug in the dig.out of my CD-ROM ?
3. The digital "add-on" card has in its wrapping two cables. One
flatcable and one cable with two wires (black and red). The flatcable is for
connecting the digital board with the DMX, but what is the other cable for ?
4. Can I use standard RCA cables for the COAXial digital in/out?

TIA

Hi All,

-
There is a new malicious strain out of the Explore.zip virus
-

Immediately WARN your troops NOT to open up any email that
starts with:

Hi Recipient Name!
I received your email and I shall send you a reply ASAP.
Till then, take a look at the attached zipped docs.
Bye (This salutation messages changes and may be "Bye",
Sincerely" and "All")

Do this first. Then read more below, and check with your
vendor of virus software if they can protect you. I got
the following this morning from Trend Micro. (extract
follows)


TROJ_EXPLOREZIP Is Back with a Twist

A variant of the autospam TROJ_EXPLOREZIP worm,
TROJ_EXPZIPWMPAK, is spreading quickly and damaging files

There is a newly discovered variant of the Trojan ExploreZip
worm that was originally discovered in June, 1999.  This
variant, TROJ_EXPZIPWMPAK, is identical to the original
ExploreZip worm in that it is auto-spamming malicious code
that destroys data on the infected system.  The only
significant difference between this variant of the worm
and the original is that TROJ_EXPZIPWMPAK is compressed
with a different type of compression format, thereby evading
protection for the previous worm.  TROJ_EXPZIPWMPAK attacks
Windows 95, 98, and NT systems and has been detected at
several Fortune 500 customer sites in the United States.

TROJ_EXPZIPWMPAK emails itself out as an attachment under
the filename "zipped_files.exe". The subject line of the
email varies. The body of the email message may also contain
the following text:

Hi Recipient Name!
I received your email and I shall send you a reply ASAP.
Till then, take a look at the attached zipped docs.
Bye (This salutation messages changes and may be "Bye",
Sincerely" and "All")

After a user clicks on the attachment, this destructive trojan
searches hard drives C: through Z:, selecting the Microsoft Word,
Excel and PowerPoint files as well as source code files used by
programmers including  C++, C, and Assembler source files and
reduces their file size to zero, making the data unrecoverable.
When executed, TROJ_EXPZIPWMPAK utilizes MAPI enabled email
systems, to automatically reply to any subsequently received
email messages.  The email reply will include the infected
attachment with the message shown above.  It will use the
subject line of the received email when it replies.

"TROJ_EXPLOREZIP caused millions of dollars of damage worldwide
the first time since it overwrites files, instead of just deleting
them, it's particularly damaging.

That's all for now.

Take quick action!

Warm regards,

Stu

Re: MD: MZ-R1

1999-12-02 Thread John Graham


From: Dan Hergott [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: MD: Purchasing a MZ-R1

Hi I am considering purchasing a used MZ-R1 for $145 CDN ($90 US)
Does this seem ok in price for a unit that was manufactured in 1994?

I bought an MZ-R1 when they were first released and used it for 2 months
before sending it back to Sony with a log of problems. It would frequently
lock-up and often 'lost' the last recording. Battery life was just 1 hr. It
was a large machine too, very heavy compared with modern versions.

I got a full refund and I bought a portable DAT instead. In fact I didn't
get back to Minidisc machines for another 5 years and they've improved
immensely since that first machine.

In my view, get the best modern model you can afford, pass on the MZ-R1.

 Ever.  MD is not about audio quality, it is about portability.  DVD will
 never be as portable as MD is.

Hmmm.

True But 

I don't agree on 'MD is not about audio quality'. For me it's more about
'How do we pack CD audio quality onto a 2.5" disc without sacrifying to
 much of the quality?'

Modern MD players are smaller than portable cassette-players, they are
a lot smaller then CD-players and some are even smaller than the MP3 players.
Their sound-quality is better than most portable cassette-players and
a lot better compared to MP3 players.
I can easyly detect the difference between a tape, MP3 and CD. I can't
between MD and CD.

Conclussion:
MD is also about audio quality!

Cheers,
Ralph - somebody had to defend MD!

 With this software and hardware, MP3 files, Windows Media files, and Real

 Minidisc should now easily compete very nicely against the various MP3

MD: Skipping on recorded MD's from early model

1999-12-02 Thread Robert Dorsett


Hello,

About a year ago, I purchased a used Sony MDS-302 which worked fine but the 
MD's recorded on this model skipped, mostly at the first track, when played 
on a new portable player (Sony MZ-E25). The skipping symptoms were dropped 
music (dead spots where silence was heard instead of music), a quick 
movement from one area of the song to another (as if it was sped up 
momentarily) and very slow cueing when play was initiated. Almost all the 
time, MD's recorded on the 302 played fine on itself.  Infrequently, it 
would skip on its own recordings.

I took the 302 unit to the Sony Service Center and they replaced the 
optics. The problem persisted. I thought it was bad MD stock but tests with 
a friend's new MD recorder disproved that theory. The skipping problem does 
not occur all the time. I cannot see a pattern. It does seem to be more 
prevalent with certain kinds of MD stock and is related, almost always, to 
the first track.

The only conclusion I can draw is a slight incompatibility between the 
older 302 unit and the newer models. Perhaps something with the Table of 
Contents?

Had anyone else encountered this phenomena?

Thanks.

It sounds like maybe the sled that carries the optical block could be
sticking at the inner end of it's travel.
It could also be temperature related - extreme cold or heat causing more
errors...
It's probably worth taking  it back to Sony and explain that it is still
not fixed and emphasis the fact that the problem is always with track
one...
IMHO, it's not a compatibility problem

Why would you want a headbanger amp for? I hear you can buy these
commercially, but why would you want louder headphones? Or would you use it
with speakers on a portable md player? Do you use this to plug your sources
into and plug the output into the md recorder's input?

MD: Gold vs. Silver

1999-12-02 Thread Ben Hawley


Was windering if anyone has encountered any problems with recording with
silver (actual disk color) vs gold media?
I've got a MZ-R50 (rom ver 1.50) recorder and its quirk is that it only
likes to record on gold disks. this can get very frustrating when the vast
majority of disks are silver.

Also...anyone know the operating temp. range of afore mentioned beastie?

Thanks for any help

Ben

Re: MD: Purchasing a MZ-R1

1999-12-02 Thread Daryl O.


Just to set the record straight, there never was an MZ-R1.  Sony's first
recordable minidisc portable was called an MZ-1.  The 'R' wasn't
incorporated in Sony's minidisc nomenclature until the MZ-R2.

RE: MD: Looking for the right MD Deck.

1999-12-02 Thread Rodney Peterson


For multiple analog inputs, just buy the Sony S-Video switcher with four
inputs (about $ 60 MSRP) and use it as an audio switcher with any deck
or portable you like.

Assuming anyone actually bothers with a "DVD-Single" form factor, which at
this time appears to be a nonexistant possiblity.

Isn't that an oxymoron? Isn't "impossibility" a synonym.

At any rate, I disagree.

Re: MD: Kareoke on MD??!!

Anyone noticed that if you pull the earphone plug just
a little way out (2-3mm) on the RM-MZR50 the audio
turns to mono and loses the main vocal track?


Yep, the same happens with the sharp 831.  But i wouldn't use it for 
Karaoke, because you'll lose anything that's in both the left and right 
channels.

I think what happens is that somehow it puts everything in mono, only one 
channel is out of phase, and therefore you lose the main vox because they're 
panned centre.

Genius, generally excellent and gifted person.
