Re: MD: sound blaster live value
Hi! Does the sound blaster live value have a optical digital out? No, but you can make one! :) A 220ohm resistor, red diode and a piece of cd-in cable is needed. you put the resistor between the diode and spdif-in's GND and voilla! It works perfectly for me! The diode has to be with a wavelenght of about 660nm (bright, pure red). Well, just look at the minidisc.org page, the article is "Super cheap TOSLINK transmitter". I don't take the responsibility...

MD: help! dropouts!!
I did a live mix for Univision (spanish language network), gave them a feed (which dumped) and did a backup on my MZR50. The problem is the MDs are dropping out, even on a "PRO" (Sony $2500+) player. The disks play back better on my R50 than the "PRO" unit but there are still dropouts. I have not flown the material in to an editor so I don't know if stuff is gone or the player is having problems reading the disk. At one point the "PRO" unit sat for about ten seconds with the clock stopped and only silence comming out. Has anyone had this problem and can anyone suggest a fix??? p.s. I could probably edit from other takes but I don't want to. __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: MD: help! dropouts!!
Dunno but it sounds a bit like the "stuttering" problem I had with my Sony 520 recently. The discs which were recorded on the 520 played fine on another MD player but on the 520 they stopped and started in a stuttering manner and the timer stopped and started with them. The problem is absolutely consistent on repeat plays of the "faulty" disc. Opinions on md-I varied from dust to bad discs to laser misalignment to a damaged laser... and through it in the bin. At first I suspected Maxell discs but it happened on an Arita as well and it seemed too much of a co-incidence. Brought it back into Richer Sounds here in Ireland who sent it to Sony who cleaned it and sent it back today "no fault found"... it remains to be seen. I'm pretty sure it's not the discs cos I filled the balance of the disc, then deleted the offending section and re-recorded.. no problem. Dunno if that's any help... maybe it's just a bit of dust... you might be lucky. - Original Message - From: Jeff Rodenkirch [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 17, 2000 06:16 Subject: MD: help! dropouts!!

MD: MXD-D3
Hi folks. I just purchased a Sony MDX-D3 on Friday (3 days ago). I got it at The Wiz (I hate that store; but they are convenient geographically, and they had a sale going on). I paid USD 270.00. I haven't had a chance to even take the unit out of box yet; but once I get going with it, I will do some A-B dubbing at normal speed and a 4X, and let you know if I hear any differences. I will also redo those recordings that I talked about last week (made on a Sharp MT-15), in which I heard some definite differences between the CD and the MD recordings (Magic had hypothesized that the Sharp ATRAC did not do chamber music and classical guitar as well as the Sony ATRAC). I probably won't get a chance to do this until next week sometime, since it is Holy Week, and I'll be singing in church Wednesday through Sunday. I will keep you posted. James __ Do You Yahoo!?

MD: Sony Minidisk Recorder with USB?
Hi, new to the list. I was waltzing through the Knoxville, TN Best Buys today when my eye caught an apparently new player/recorder. It looked like the Sony MZ-R55 (I know it had "55" in the name). What caught my eye was the Best Buys blurb that said that it could transfer MP3 files via a USB interface. Since I'd come in the store to look at Diamond Rio products, I suddenly snapped to attention and whipped out the plastic. Of course they didn't have the unit in stock. Off to the nearby Circuit City. Same type blurb (salesman even tried to sell me a USB cable and hub) and of course they didn't have it either, though their computer said they had 55 of 'em in the "warehouse". As a last ditch effort, I went to Service Merchandise where I did buy a MZ-R55. Took it right back when I learned it had only the optical interface. Looking around the net tonight, I can't seem to find anything about this, including on Sony's site. So.. Is Best Buys and Circuit city making this up? Is there such a device? Of any brand? I really don't want to buy a fancy sound card to get the optical interface. Just want to stick my favorite music out on minidisk and do it digitally.
