RE: MD: 722 problem

2000-11-01 Thread Peter Forest


Hi...

I have a Sharp MS-722, I record from CD, from my home system and from my
portable and there is not really a difference on skipping...

I jog and run all days with my portable unit and it skips only once.. The
reason was the way the player was placed in my wallet when I jog... I don't
know the real good position, but there is one position that is not good for
skipping...

I have a sport belt case that is really great to hold very thight my
portable unit on my body on it the case...

Hope this could help...

Peter.

Is the problem that the 722 has insufficient shock protection for jogging?

How much shock protection does the 722 have - 10 or 40 seconds?  I know my
Sony E25 has 10 seconds which is heaps for most appications but it can't
handle a jog, especially if the point of play is near the end of the disc.

Anyone have any other experience with MD units that can/can't handle
jogging/running/gym?

i dont have a 722, but what i can say is that i found in a neat little
sports store around where i live (mc sports or something like that) a
neoprene armband case for small walkman's that fit perfect on my sony r55.
i've found it hardly ever skips on my upper arm, but when i have it on a
belt thingy or any other place it skips.

MD: 722 problem

2000-11-01 Thread Clark Family


I run with my Sharp 722 and have had no problems.  There is a setting within
the unit that allows you to switch between the 10 and 40 sec anti-shock.  Be
sure that it is set to the 40sec.   Also, keep it tight in the pouch, the
tighter, the better.  if it is loose(like in a big pocket or fanny pack) it
will shake with every step.  I use a case logic neoprene pack that it fights
tightly into when used with the piggyback battery.

Also, keep it on the center line of your body...near your navel is good.
That part of your body has the least movement when you are running.  Also
might want to try putting it in the small of your back, same principal.

BTW, I have run 6 minute miles with it like that without any skipping

Best of luck

Joel

 you must be aware that the correct English spelling of 100 cm is one Metre.

 versions that we oft smirk at! Perhaps you were sleeping, after all?

What is spoken in the us is American then I guess.  An English dialect so to
speak.  But the English have alone a pretty good job of bastardizing their own
language.  There is the Queen's English (so day it will be the King's again) and
there is everything else like Cockney.  That sounds just as bad as anything that
we Yanks have done to proper English.

The Australians have done a pretty good job of bastardizing proper English (I
love the Australians, but I don't care for the way they have handled your
language.  About as bad as Cockney.



 I agree that cycles per second is more descriptive than Hz ... aren't we an
 odd lot who prefer to use dead men's surnames to decribe a scientific
 process than to call a spade a spade.

Why do we do that??  It makes no sense does it?  Also, someone claimed that Hz in
universal.  Is it really???  Is it used in every country in the world?

Once again I start this dumb thread that should have probably been just ignored
and it receives response after response.  When I make what to me seems like an
important contribution to the list and is on topic, people usually ignore it :)

Well I hope that everyone has a great Halloween.  It's just not the same when you
don't have little kids anymore or live in a location where your door bell keeps
ringing.   I live on the highway and no one comes to us.

BTW (totally off topic) this is actually a pagan holiday.  It was banned by the
Church.  But that wouldn't stop people from practicing it, so they dubbed it "All
Saints Day".  But it is really not a religious holiday.  I love it though.
Actually I have a tie in to MD.

You could make a great scary MD collecting all kinds of sounds and setting your
MD player to continuous play.  Then stick some speakers outside of your house and
let the fun begin.

Tomorrow is hump day (gotta get over the Wed. hump).

MD: Kenwood DMC-M7R

2000-11-01 Thread Leon


Hey all,

Here's Kenwood's clone of the Sharp MT77, coming to us in late November:

http://www.kenwoodcorp.com/j/press/press20001101.html

All specs identical, except that the M7R doesn't seem to have intro scan.

Kenwood says that with MDLP, they expect to see more owners switch back to
the "one-fits-all" way of utilizing MD, using a portable for all recording
all playback. Some people do prefer this over recording on a home unit and
listening on a portable player.

Well, sort of.  Personally, I think Voquette was a waste of $70.

Voquette is two things, the software and the hardware.  Pretty much
anything the Voquette software can do I can already do with WinAmp and EZ
CD Creator that came with my CD-R/W.

The hardware consists of two patches and a box in the middle that doesn't
do anything.  One lead is an analog patch, 1/8" to 1/8", connects the line
out of your sound card to the line in on the recorder.  In this regard,
Voquette will work with any MD recorder that can do synchro recording.  The
other lead is a keyboard power wedge that provides power to Sharp
recorders.  This power lead will work with some Sony units, but not all of
them, and usually not the newer 3v units.

You are most probably better off spending the money on a good sound card
with a TOSlink output jack and make your recordings from that.

MD: Sharp MD-C3

2000-11-01 Thread las


I received my Sharp MD-C on Tuesday.  I have it at my office and really haven't
had much time to "play" with it.

So far it appears that if you press the CD to MD button, it will copy CD #1 to MD
#1 and so forth.  I don't think that it will continue to copy CD #1 to MD #2 if
MD #1 is full.  At least it didn't in the test that I performed.

The specific ATRAC version is not given.  I guess that the unit was originally
designed for release in Europe because the equipment browser gives the price in
GBP.

The overall sound quality is what you would expect from an inexpensive mini
system.   Actually considering that it sold on Mercata for under $200 this system
offer's a lot for the money.  The speakers are made from particle board rather
than plastic.

It has the typical "juke box" look as far as the lights go that you have come to
expect from a teenager/young adult mini system.  But being able to copy 3 CDs to
3 MDs digitally is impressive.

I would expect that the copies are at least as good as you will get from a
portable.  In many respects this unit is more impressive than a high speed
dubbing unit.  While a 4X unit will finish a disc faster, you still have to be
around to change the disc.

Here you can load 3 CDs and just leave them.  When you come back later, you will
have 3 MD copies.

On the down side, this is strictly a self contained unit.  The only jacks are for
one AUX input.  There are no digital or even analog outputs (just a headphone
jack).  But this a unit like this, why would you want to bother making copies to
a separate unit?

The tape day is a dead give away that this is no high end system.  On the other
had there are still many people out there that need the use of a cassette deck so
one is included.

As always, I'm sure that the weak links are the converters.  But where you plan
to listen to your MD is important.  As I have stated many times, I can't see
making MD copies to listen to on your $10,000 system when you have the original
CD (or a friend burned a copy for you on his computer).

For the car and jogging, the quality of the MDs made from this unit or any
portable are fine for me.

I tried to compare the original CD to the MD copy, but you can't do an instant
A/B switch so the lag time makes it a little more difficult to be precise.  Both
the CD and Md sounded about the same to me considering the limits of this system.

The unit is rated at 50 watts per channel RMS.  That's not too bad.  Most units
of this type will list the wattage at the point just before the unit explodes,
not RMS.

Why back when RMS was adapted as a standard to force component manufactures to
compare apples to apples.  Before that, you often saw numbers like 500 watts!!!
That number was the number the unit could reach nano seconds before you house
burned down.

BTW, when they came out with RMS they were still using cps!
