MD: Questions questions everywhere!!
Hello everyone, I've just subscribed to this list and have a question. I'm currently building up my MD collection and own an AWIA F5 portable and a Sony (can't remember the ID#) MD HIFI. I've mainly been filling my MDs with MP3 albums and using "Arita" blanks that I get for 99p in Richer Sounds (Dublin, Ireland). My questions are: 1) Is there anyone else from Ireland on this list? 2) If so do those people want to trade MDs? 3) Does anyone wanna swap CD's full of MP3s for recording on to MD? Hope to hear from someone soon! -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Patrick Elliott Sent: Thursday, December 23, 1999 10:10 AM To: minidisc Subject: MD: animation idea for MDCP === The original message was multipart MIME=== === All non-text parts (attachments) have been removed === happy holidays here's my wacky idea for anybody that wants to tackle it... two characters mr cassette and mr. minidisc mr."c" is 2x larger than mr."md" (samson/goliath) they both have legs/hands sticking out (...remember mr hotdog mr popcorn?) first you see mr.cassette standing there..and then mr.minidisc suddenly appears and he goes right up to mr. cassette and kicks him in the nuts! as soon as that happens mr. cassette's mouth* gets really big (chipmunk-like) and spits out another mr. minidisc!! then you repeat the process. now that would be funny! patrick everyone feel free to "embellish" === MIME part removed : text/html; === - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: MD: MXD-D3 Read Errors
After I read your post, I grabbed a handful of MDs which were recorded on various machines, and as far back as May of 1993. They all worked just fine. It sounds to me like you probably have a defective unit.(Jim) Thanks for your reply, Jim. You must be right, because the unit I exchanged it with, works just fine. We had a really bad shipment of MXD-D3's that all had visible signs of mishandling, so the optical pickup must have been knocked off spec. I really love the D3. It's incredible, and I find that the new-style remote with three letters on each button, isn't really too hard to use. The 4x recording more than makes up for the increased time in titling! Daryl P.S. I'm going to check out the Wal-marts in my area to see if any have that Sanyo deck. My brother would love to have an MD deck in his car! - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I just thought you might want to add it to the list of available models. (I can EMAIL specs to you if you want.) These units are CHEAP. They only cost like $65.00 at Wal-Mart. YES, Wal-Mart and I'm told by a friend that they're going to reduce the price again... They'd make a great entry-level unit for those wanting to add MD to their cars... Thanks for the note, this sounds fascinating. Any chance you can send in a picture? I'm forwarding your note to the MD mailing list in case others are familiar with this machine. Egads, $65? That's cheap for ANYTHING MD! I've seen car tape players cheaper than that. Could there have been an error in that it's really $165? And at Wal-Mart too??? Proof that MD is going mainstream? :) Anyway, I found a picture of it at: http://www.sanyo.co.jp/AV/CEmedia_e/products/car/MDR-4/MDR4.html Doesn't look as nice as the Sony's, but it sure as heck looks a lot more expensive than $65.

MD: DHC-MDX10 review.
I am very happy with my old MZ R-30 and I am not thinking of replacing it yet. Nevertheless, I decided to look for a bookshelf system, because I needed to be able to program recordings from radio to MD. The DHC-MDX10 seemed to me as the best solution and so I am posting the following review, to anyone may interest. The Advantages -You can digitally adjust the recording level, when copying a CD, while on pause mode or even on fly. Of course you can also adjust the recording level when recording from the radio, or another analog source. -You can very accurately divide a track, by splitting a certain second in 86 fractions. -There is a 5 band graphic equalizer, with 15 factory presets, but you can also create your own presets and store 5 personal settings in memory. - There is a synchro equalizer function, which automatically selects a preset, according to music genre. - Variable Attenuation Control System (VACS), prevents clipping and keeps the sound clean, even when it gets loud. -Dynamic bass feedback, 2 steps control. -There is also a synchro bass function, which automatically adjusts the dynamic bass level according to music genre. -The radio reception is very good. -The CD player is very good too. -There is a double cassette deck, with all the usual functions. The recording performance is very good, but the recording level is only adjusted automatically. -Eventually, the price is excellent for a unit with all these features. It costs about 500$ here in Greece. The Disadvantages -First of all the speakers. Of course when buying a bookshelf, you know that the speakers will be second class quality, but I confess that I expected something more, from my DHC-MDX10. The reason for my expectation is that Sony had advertised very very well the new HOP material their bookshelf speakers are made of and the new Quick Edge technology they use. So, I expected something more. The truth is that the speakers have an excellent performance in bass passages, but they are rather poor in middle and high ranges. So, they are really impressive if you listen to hip hop music, quite good for classic-rock, folk, soul and jazz, but disappointing for classical and chorus music. -The remote control has weak signal and performs only the basic functions. -The MD has no date and time stamp. -The surround function can not trick anybody. -The appearance is quite aggressive. It took me 2 weeks to get used to it. My opinion I believe it s a very good choice for it s price, but I would prefer if Sony made some improvements, even if they had to raise the price.

MD: Portable CD with digital out
I purchased a Sony D-E705 Discman portable from Walmart for $89.95. It has a digital output. Also Radio Shack sells an adaptor to (I don't know the correct names) adapt the larger optical connector as used on home components to the smaller connector that is used on portable equipment.

MD: Portable recorder recommendation
hi, I'm in the market for a portable MD recorder or a player/deck combo. My budget is ~$300, but I guess it could increase, if the product(s) is worth it. What I really want is a small (~7cmx1.5-1.7cmx7cm) unit, decent battery life, and good sound (MP3 players are small, but the sound didn't quite cut it for me...). I'd like to solicit the experts' (your) recommendations on small MD recorder or a good small player/deck combo. Thank you! - Hyung-song Nam / [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: MD: Portable recorder recommendation
At first I didn't care for it, but the $225 JVC-XMR70 I bought on an impulse is a decent MD recorder, excellent battery life, nice backlit remote, attractive, slightly bigger than the Sony R55. Although it doesn't have a dedicated line out, the headphone jack works as a line out. By the way, I need to plug a pair of MD recorders (this one and JVC-XMD1 or Sony R55) into a mixing board New Years Eve for a party. I need RCA to XLR adapters. I've never used these before, so wondering about cost and availability. I think Sam Ash carries them, so I'll try to pick up a pair there. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
