MD: Midiman C03
>>Perhaps instead of setting SCMS to unlimited, it always sets it to penulti- >>mate, and that's the way it's designed to work, so no matter what the SCMS >>setting of the input, the recording is always SCMS-final, but there always >>is a copy made. The C03 has an scms button that selects from four options. The are as follows: 1. SCMS "Pass-Thru" Mode: This mode merely passes all SCMS information received at the input source to the output sources with no modification. 2. SCMS "None" Mode: When SCMS mode is set to None, the outgoing SCMS bits are set to indicate that there is no copy protection asserted (the material may be copied). If the source is coaxial or optical S/PDIF, then the CO3 actually strips the SCMS material out of the incoming stream and replaces it with bits that indicate no copy protection. 3. SCMS "original" Mode: When SCMS mode is set to Original, the outgoing SCMS bits are set to indicate that the source material is the original material and not a copy. Therefore, most receiving units will accept this material 4. SCMS "1st Generation" Mode: When SCMS mode is set to 1st Generation, the outgoing SCMS bits are set to indicate that the source material is a copy. Therefore, receiving units that include SCMS will not accept this material - this can be useful for protecting the copyright of commercial material. All of the above was taken from the owners manual of the CO3. >>Can you turn the stripping off, so that an SCMS-unlimited signal passes through unmolested? So, yes you can turn the stripping off so that it will pass an SCMS-unlimited signal. I tested this, and it works with my unit. However, the other three modes all function identically, as if the unit were in "Original" mode. Thanks for any and all help that can be offered. Iam particularly interested in those of you who have a CO3 that works correctly, and what the rest of your system is.

Maybe it was more a case of making you an offer you couldn't accept; perhaps it is Japanese etiquette that a person should not say no to an offer but rather imply refusal by coaxing the other party to withdraw it, and such an indirect, roundabout procedure sounds pointless to us Occidentals, but that was their way of saying they weren't interested? Then again it might not have anything to do with Japanese practices but just be the Sony way. I can think of at least one American company that does the same thing. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: MD: MZ-R50 or Sharp 821
Well, being an R50 owner and user, I'm a bit biased towards getting that one. Is the one you're looking at new or used? If it's new, grab it and don't even dare to have a second thought. If you're picking it up second hand I'd be a bit leary, just because it is portable and a great workhorse, how much life may be left in it, and how it was treated up till now. Though I have nothing against the 821, I don't think it would be a mistake to grab the R50 while you can. -Jeffrey -- My reality check just bounced!

They suggested calling their research department whose number is 410.676.7300 and they have a toll free fax number 1800.888.3293. This department has old info on microfilm.

MD: Midiman CO3
Does anyone on this list use a midiman c03 stripper/ converter? I recently purchased one, and have been having nothing but trouble with it. The SCMS stripping feature does NOT do its thing. It will allow me to record from any digital source, but refuses to make an scms unlimited recording. Is anyone else having these problems? I sent the unit in for repairs, but it was sent back and I was told it was fine. I was told it must be my other equipment. Trouble is, I have very common equipment. A Sony JB920 and a Sharp 722. I know that the 920 and 722 will write an unlimited code. I have done this with several phish trees that were originally from an scms unlimited DAT. When I put the co3 back in the chain, these discs become hindered by scms. When the co3 is not in the chain everything is peachy. Anyhow, if anyone has similar problems, please let me know. I still think the unit is not functioning properly, or It was never able to strip SCMS in the first place. Should I return it to midiman again, or get a refund?

RE: MD: Gapless CD Audio Track Playback
There have been, however, known issues with ECDC 3.x that in DAO mode, it still inserted anomalies between tracks. I've never noticed it personally, because I've always used CDRwin and CD Wave to actually create the track marks/cue sheet for CDRwin. Absolute perfection every time.

RE: MD: Gapless CD Audio Track Playback
For gapless audio CD's with tracks, you need to burn in Disc-at-Once mode as most CD-R's support (including all recent CD-R's). So check through your burn properties, depending on what program you use, and ensure that it burns in DAO mode rather than TAO (Track-at-Once). It has nothing to do with sample sizes and all that bullshit.

I have been archiving concerts to MD for 2 years. I have been trying to put these live concerts on CD and have experienced the following problem. When I transfer the track to the computer HD, then burn the CD, when you play the audio CD back, there is always a 2 or 3 second 'countdown' before the actual track starts playing. This creates a problem when trying to divide a song into multiple tracks. I seem to recall that someone a month or so ago mentioned that the problem was due to the number of samples that are in the track. If the track had an even multiple of some sample size, then there would be no 'countdown' when the CD audio is played. Am I remembering this correctly? If so, what is the magic sample number that I need in order to get smooth 'gapless' CD audio tracks. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
