MD: Sharp mt15 record jack fuzzy

2001-10-19 Thread Mark E. Crane


Hi,
This is my first post to the list.  I'm interviewing people for a research project 
with my sharp mt15 (purchased at deep discount from some internet company that is now 
out of business) and I noticed that when I turn the plug in the jack slightly, it 
creates slight amounts of static and popping.  Is this normal?  Should I clean the 
input jack or get it replaced?  I experimented with two different mics, same thing 
happened.

Thanks for input or suggestions,

MC

Pressit make label software and labels for MD. I got mine from discount
discs (www.discountdiscs.co.uk), or try www.pressit.com 

They seem to work well enough with my Epson inkjet printer.

sounds like it is dirty or has a loose connection.

Jim asked,

| Will the 940 deck do toc cloning?  Maybe you can save the recording.

Yes, it can; perhaps that's why Steve didn't express any concern about
losing the recording.

Technically speaking if they removed easily they'd be horrible labels.  
Imagine one falling off in your player.  Myself, I write on my labels with 
pencil, although that doesn't help people looking to use printed labels.  
I'm sure someone out there has a good technique for removing labels, but I 
doubt it'd be healthy for your minidisc in the process.  :)

do these labels remove easily from md's?  i'm curious because i hate having
stacked 3+ labels on top of each other because they all stick together.

clean the input jack with propylic alcool and do the same with male part 
of the mt15. if  it's not going better, go to your local sharp dealer to 
replace the female jack on your mt15

I recall 3m made removable floppy labels at one point, using post-it glue.  That might 
work.  I don't think removing a detached label in a portable would be too brutal, but 
I worry about residue scraping off onto something sensitive.

Here is one place selling avery removables that may work. I haven't tested them. They 
are listed as removable and repositionable.

MD: Digital Sound Preset on MZ-R900

2001-10-19 Thread Martin Roubek


This is the point: I set the treble and bass settings of the Digital
Sound Presets "Sound1" and "Sound2" on their zero levels (Bass +-0, Treble
+-0). Then I switched between no sound settings (nothing appears on display)
and "Sound1/2" (sound1/2 appears on display :). Even the levels were zero
(and I suppose with no sound preset selected levels are zero too), I heard
the difference - with sound1/2 the sound was little 'cleaner'. I don't have
proper software to measure the difference, to express the difference in
numbers, but I think that no sound preset and sound1/2 with zero levels of
basses and trebles differ. Don't you know, how is this possible? Thx in
advance.

Have A Nice Day!

Martin Roubicek =)

 Thanks, this worked.  I put a little 91% isopropyl on the plug, then popped it in 
and out of the jack about 10 times and now it sounds great. Woo hoo!  Of course I'll 
probably sell it to upgrade to something with mdlp, but for now it's awesome. 
Thanks!!!
 

Yes but now everything will sound like it is drunk!

That's because in the manual, no sound preset actually isn't 0 level for 
treble, 0 level for bass.  Bass is like +2 and I THINK trebel is 0.  Read 
the manual, it's in there somewheres.

MD: Perfect Case

2001-10-19 Thread Stainless Steel Rat


So, the volume controls on my MS-722 are acting flakey.  Which means that
until I get it fixed (assuming I can and do), I've fallen back to my old
MZ-R30.  But I couldn't find the old CaseLogic case I kept it in.  Hrm.  So
I check out the local Best Buy because that is where I got it.  No luck.

But, on impulse, I took a look in the camera section.  Lo and behold, the
perfect case.  It is the Targus mini digital camera case.  One padded
compartment made of synthetic leather lined with nylon with padded nylon
flip cover.  Removable, overly padded shoulder strap.  Belt loop with snap
and some Velcro for added strength.  The MZ-R30 and AirHead amp fit
absolutely perfectly.

And it cost all of $12.50 including tax.
