MD: HEL P ME

2001-05-18 Thread Berkel, J.J.B.N.v.


hello,

i have a big question for you. I have had an Sony portable minidisc for 2
years now and i've got an sony discman d-365 with optical output, but... the
optical output of my discman d-365 doesn't seem to work. my question for
you:

How do i activate my optical output of my discman d-365, by pushing a
combination of buttons, by hooking the unit up to 220 V, and what kind of
cables do i need ?!?

have you tried using the discman with an AC adapter?
some or most of them won't power the optical out
while on batteries.

hope that helps

The D-365 has no optical out, thats why it doesn't seem to work. It is a
simple line out, why would it be sold in places for $45.00 if this was not
so, the cheapest you'll find a portable with opti out is probably about
$100.

From posts I've seen in the past, you are wrong.  THe other posts seem
to indicate the Sony D-355 does indeed have optical out.  So who are we
to believe?  What does the manual say?

Re: MD: Sound cards

2001-05-18 Thread KVE


 Always keep in mind You get what you pay for.  I would
 recommend getting the M Audio (aka Midiman) DiO 2448:

 M Audio product page:
 http://www.midiman.com/m-audio/html/products/dio2448.htm

 Places to buy:
 http://www.core-sound.com/dio_2448.html
 http://www.digitalaudioworks.com/mimd482.html
M-Audio Dio 2448 is better than Zoltrix (which I do have (with opitical
board) and probably need to sell...). I use it now. It is more stable. Once
you install it and all the IRQs agree with it, it works great. The only
drawback is that it is not really a sound card. It is an I/O board. It
doesn't have an amp or support for MIDI. Zoltrix does have all of these, but
it is far more difficult to set it up. It is very flaky for input. For
output both card will work great. None of them reclock the input SPDIF
signal, though. That means that if the optical cable is not PERFECT you will
loose seconds or maybe even minutes from each hour of your recording. I
ended up putting a Midiman CO2 between the deck and the card (Dio 2448) and
using optical to CO2 and coax from CO2 to the card.
BTW, Zzounds have a better price for Dio 2448:
http://www.zzounds.com/love.music?p=p.THKMIMD482z=1066064731138 -- $109.95.
I'm sure you can find it even cheaper.

Re: MD: Minidisc units that mount in the pc?

 Sadly, a directly computer accessible MD audio drive does not

 hmm, what about the Sony Waio Desktop PC with a built in MD audio drive plus
 DVD drive? OK, you can't buy it separately, but it does exist...
 IP

The MD drive in the Vaio has still only got a realtime (1X) audio
interface for I/O, and you can't access the compressed audio data on
the MD directly (which is what I was trying to say).
