RE: MD: Sony MD changer in car on non Sony head unit
==BEGIN QUOTE There is a rather "expensive" box that was designed for use to adapt early Sony chagners to non changer equipped head unit (Sony or otherwise). It has a unit link cable to connect to the changer, power cables for input, RCA cables for input and output and antenna connector "T" so you can use it as an "RF" type unit if you want. =END QUOTE= There is actually the RM-X69RF CD changer controller which normally provides RF output but, if you plug the changer's RCA outputs into the head unit's AUX input, you can avoid the need to use the RF modulator. I have discussed this unit previously in a posting on the 4th September and will repeat it heare incause you missed it. As cited by Timothy P. Stockman, there is an undocumented +12 volt trigger output on the RM-X69RF controller, which is exposed as a red wire and a blue wire on the power MOLEX connector. The situations that I documented were for various implementations, some of which are common in the Australian market. These are: 1. The stereo car radio that doubles as an amplifier for an outboard cassette deck (common in a lot of Nissan / Datsun, high-end Mazda and some Mitsubishi vehicles made during the 70s and 80s) 2. The stereo car radio-cassette (OEM or aftermarket) that provided an AUX input for an add-on single-slot CD player (a practice common with some cars sold during the late 80s and early 90s where the CD player was supplied as a dealer option). In most of these installations, it was necessary for the outboard CD or cassette player to turn on the head unit whenever one intended to play the CD or cassette. This would bave been done in one of many ways: 1. The CD player or cassette deck would expose a +12 volt "trigger current" to an "trigger input" in order to wake up the radio and accept signals from the deck. 2. The CD player or cassette deck would use TTL logic or an extra pole on the "cassette-present" microswitch to short an input trigger loop to ground in order to wake up the radio and accept signals from the deck; in a similar way that a cellular-phone system triggers a car stereo's phone-mute circuit during a phone call. 3. The same device may use Method 1 or 2 to wake up the radio (if you don't have to turn the radio on manually to make use of it) but use a switch or relay to select between the radio's own signal sources or that device's signal. The trigger output could be wired across the trigger input with systems that work on Method 1; wired across a relay that shorts the trigger input to ground in a Method 2 system and/or a DPDT relay that manually selects the signal between the RCA outputs on the stacker and one of the existing sources. This information listed here is especially of interest to Australian readers who maintain older vehicles with their OEM sound systems and want to add MiniDisc or CD to their vehicles. The only units that may not be easy to add extra equipment to are those units that use a proprietary serial bus chosen by the vehicle builder usually in order to discourage the use of cheaper aftermarket equipment.

MD: Fortissimo Card at Best Buy
I've already got the Guillemot Maxi Sound Fortissimo card on order should be here the beginning of next week, and if this works out well, I might get another card for one of my other systems.(Mike Burger) I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet, but the Guillemot Maxi Sound Fortissimo sound card with optical out, is now at Best Buy for $49.

Especially in dense mixes, the parts underneath the lead instruments get buried. I have a Sharp MT-15 and Pioneer MJ-D508, they both are good recorders, but I would not use minidisc for anything besides "note-taking" recording or recording rehersals for later practice work. DAT is still the way to go for home recording (if you don't have access to an ADAT). I'd rate minidisc on a par with an analog cassette. Different distortions - you trade speed and pitch stability for inner detail and resolution. Cassette machines ALL have flutter and wow, but they can have remarkable amounts of low-level information. Minidiscs are great at getting recordings without any additional tremelo as the sound decays, but they only get the surface of the music. bye, Steven -- Jim Coon Not just another pretty mandolin picker. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] If Gibson made cars, would they sound so sweet?

Re: MD: T Mark
I think this the default setting. There must have a silence of 2 or 3 seconds between two tracks and when I say silence, it means that the vu-meter must nothing. At the end of a track, you may have the mpression that there s silence but there's still a little entry level. The problem with LP (are LP vinyl discs?) is there's always a little parasite noises caused by the sapphire on the disc. It seems that you have no other solution than putting the track marks manually.

MD: Slip vs. Flip: a question of cases...
Hi! I'm brand new to this list. I bought a Sony MZ-R70 through Minidisco.com last week (my first MD unit) and I am very satisfied with it and I will write a detailed review of the product for the web in a month or so. I am now looking to buy blank MDs, and lots of 'em. My dilemma is as follows: I bought some cheap Memorex blanks long before I finally ordered an MD device. Now that I am finally using them, I really REALLY like the slip cases. No hinges to think about breaking, no fumbling with it to remove the disc... very simple and effective. As far as I can tell, the only advantage to flip style cases is that they feature a paper liner (much like blank cassette tape cases) which gives the user space to write about the MDs contents. However, this is fairly useless to me as I will be using a numbering/cataloging system to keep track of my MDs contents. I do a lot of field recording (not bootlegging) and no disc will keep the same information on it for very long. Hi-Space is the cheapest brand I can find on-line (Mystic Minidisc), but they don't offer slip-cases. If anyone can tell me why flip cases rule, or point me to cheap slip-case MDs, I'd be much obliged. Thanks! P.S. - I assume it's safe to put an MD device through an airport x-ray machine...
