 I have a hard time feeling sympathy for a person who was using a personal
 benefit like that to run a business. If you're going to run a business, you
 have to follow the rules. If you try to pull tricks like that to make a
 little more cash, you eventually get what you deserve.

 You've got it all wrong.  He was doing what he was doing in order to give his
 customers the lowest prices and best service.

When he was forced to change shippers, the new shipper's prices were still lower
then he was paying from Fed Ex!!

When MDN was out it's best, no one could match his service or prices.  For the
longest time he was the only dealer giving a warranty!!  He actually indirectly
forced other dealers to improve their services to try to match his!

If MDN had a little better luck and a manager/owner who was a little bit more in
touch with reality, we would all be benefiting from it.  The real losers are the MD
lovers that live outside of Japan.

MD: Testing a JE500

2000-05-03 Thread Richard Huggins


I have a JE500 and JE520. The list may recall that recently I reported that
the JE500 all of a sudden (mid-session!) wouldn't record more than 2-6
seconds of material on a track. Starting a new track didn't help; changing
disks didn't make a difference either. More than one reply was along the
line that it would be cheaper to replace it than to repair it, which might
be true.

My current question is this: is there anything in the test mode that could
identify the possible problem and, better yet, is there any such thing as
"resetting" an MD unit to factory defaults (to you Mac users, I would liken
this to zapping the P-RAM), so that, perhaps by doing so the recording
problem--if it's a brain thing, not a part thing--might be solved?

I should add that I've never entered test mode, so if there are specific
things I can try once I'm there, please spell them out.

Many thanks!

Richard

 I find that my Sharp-831 does not offer particularly good
 compression. I can
 clearly HEAR the artifacts, especially if the music contains a
 quiet passage
 that contains a proportionately large amount of background hiss, and on
 cymbals, hihats, etc.
 Is this a feature of the Sharp ATRAC scheme or is it a limitation of
 portables in general? I ask this because I've borrowed some MDs
 of the SAME
 music recorded on a Sony deck (not portable) and the difference is quite
 astonishing.

Just remember, it could also be due to the ADCs.  Decks often have much
better ADCs than portables.

Sorry, but what's a co-ax RCA connector?  The only thing that came with my

optical cable) or when there is 2 seconds of silence.

I dont use the optical inputs from my CDMD dubbing
I use the co-ax "RCA" connector. This outputs the SPDIF
format. The SPDIF fromat *does* put down the SCMIS
code (prevents copying of the MD) but since I own the
source I dont care.
The SPDIF format DOES include track markers.
Im guessing that the optical may ouput the
EBU format which does NOT have the track markers.
Also - you can program some MD recorders to use the
track markers or to use the "silence" to mark tracks.
Maybe yours is set to pick up the "silence".

| Sorry, but what's a co-ax RCA connector?

Coaxial.  There are two standard interconnect types for digital audio:
TOSlink (optical) and shielded coaxial.  Coaxial interconnects use RCA
plugs and jacks.

| The only thing that came with my R70 is the optical cable.

I am unaware of any portable unit that has coaxial in or out.

That is correct.

Re: MD: compression

2000-05-03 Thread JR Moore


Thank you Raplh, I'm glad someone is kinda seeing things on the same level
as me.

4) Vinyl has a higher bandwidht than CD, but I've yet to see an LP that
uses
it's
full potential.

True, most studio equipment is limited to 22khz anyway, but, I have a
Quadra-Phonic demo disc that according to the specs, has the sub-carrier
signal at 50khz. Well, I recored the record into my computer at half speed,
and this subcarrier occured at about 22 khz (sampled at 48khz). So it has
been done, just not audio wise.

BTW, in response to an audio post about somone saying about constant speed.
HAH, have you ever taken a tape deck apart and slowed the speed down. Sound
quality is slightly compromised, but, you fit more. So a tape won't always
hold 30 minutes per side on a 60 mintue tape, wven with factory set speeds,
theres variation.

With VCR's, no, my tapes don't always hold 120 minutes of audio/video. They
can hold up to 6 hours. Zenith made one that held 16 hours.

AFAIR there are various security videos (not time lapse) that record48
hours onto one tape

Re: MD: MD-PORT!!!

2000-05-03 Thread Jeremy A. Rosengren


Alas, if only it were digital.  From what I read in the product manual,
it's just a USB to 3.5mm bridge.  I guess the only advantage to using it
would be if you get noise when recording from your soundcard's line-out.

Whee.

coax connector is the electrical equivalent of the optical digital signal.
I don't think there are any portables that have coax digital in or out,
it's only available on (some) home decks.
