MD: MDLP car units now in the UK

2001-04-25 Thread Keith Whitfield


Hi there

Pioneer & Kenwood have just released there mdlp head units.

Kenwood has one model KMD-673r which is a MD receiver with RDS and cd/md
changer control.

Pioneer has one model MEH-P7300r this also has that fancy animated blue
display.

First impressions favors the pioneer With upto date features and nice look,
The kenwood unit looks dull but has better sercuirty features, Kenwood also
do a standard md headunit which seems to have more audio features they also
have a fancy display but I think it's only on the CD units.

Hope this helps just waiting for sony now to see what they have to offer

Re: MD: Which MDLP deck?

2001-03-12 Thread Keith Whitfield




Hi.
I have the Jb940 and am very pleased with it I have started to use the LP
feature as I have just got the mzr-900 as well But i noticed you can't use
the scale factor edit on lp md's. & as you mention Lp mode is a must I
Think you could save the £60 & get the 640.

Keith
p.s I don't no anything about the 640 i'm just going by what you said.

MD: Buying a MZ-R900 & transmitters

2001-02-09 Thread Keith Whitfield


I found this unit on a uk web site for £198.46 and that includes VAT and
free delivery. I can't wait till it arives.

Does such a product exsist that allows me to transmit the output of the MD
to a normal radio (UK fm frequency) I want to tune it into the car radio. I
can build Fm transmitters but 1) there not allowed & 2) the frequency
responce is a bit low (not much good for anything over normal talking)

thanks in advance
Keith

p.s have you seen the new combined Cd an LPMD player from sony?
http://members.nbci.com/md_data/
it's the MXD-D40 model. I think it would go nice next to my jb940 :)

2001-01-08 Thread Keith Whitfield


Has anybody got any infomation on the sony MZ-G750 it's a portable
md player with built in radio. I wanted to no if it could record from
the internal radio?

And where can I get info or a release date on the Sony_MDX-G55 MK2.
It's a car md player that suports mdlp but sony say no release date
for europe. I can only find it on minidisc.org.

thanks

MD: Portable MDLP

2001-01-06 Thread Keith Whitfield


Where can i get a sony portable MD with the lonplay feature in the U.K
I think it's the mz-900 or somthing like that I can't get it in the
shops so is the a uk website that sells it.
I mailed sony and they said it there was no planed release for it in the uk
but they also said that when I was asking about the JB940 a few months ago.

thanks

MD: Tray loading or not

2000-10-12 Thread Keith Whitfield


What are the pros and cons of a tray loading md deck.
My mate can't decide over the jb940 or ja333 he can't decide between
tray loading or the push in method. I like the push in method better.

Also I just got hold of the new sony catalogue and the technical spec
has an error for the jb940 It states the you can't record clock/date like
you can with the ja555es & ja333es but you can because I use that
option all the time.

thanks
keith

p.s thanks to the people that replyed to my other questions.

MD: Digital protection ???

2000-10-11 Thread Keith Whitfield


Hi all
I have been reading about this copy protection & would like to no if I wass
to record a mix off the radio and put the track markers in etc could I then
copy ot to another MD digitally and keep the markers like when you record
from a cd? I know I can't make copys from the copy.

If the above works could I also record from A LP2 md (My unit suports it) to
standard stereo and keep markers etc.

Thanks
Keith

Re: MD: Sony MZ-R900 and other LP units

2000-10-02 Thread Keith Whitfield


I have just brought the Sony jb940 and while I havn't got the best setup in
the world I can here very slight differences in the sound between stereo
LP2 I can only here it with headphones. you can here it more if theres
phaseing between left and right it's hard to put into words but it's the
sort of effect when the music sound as if it's going around you rather then
just fading left and right and only when it involves a 1 or 2 instruments.
Other then that it's a great space saver but it's not compatible with my car
md head unit so it's upgrade time again.
hope my poor description is of some help.

MD: Just brought the jb940

2000-09-14 Thread Keith Whitfield


Hi everyone.
I brought my md deck at last. it's been a while & i have
never used md's befor so im still getting used to it.
I see on the list people asking about prices.
As im in the uk sony wanted £300 but a place in the south east called
Sevenoaks Hifi (a few shops dotted around) wanted £250 which was the
cheapest i could find it on the net for.

one question. Can you get bigger md's I can only find 80min disc's most
of my tapes are 90mins. i know i can use the new lp mode but i want it to be
compatible with other players..

thanks in advance
Keith

MD: Sony mdx jb930 Vs jb940

2000-08-24 Thread Keith Whitfield


I receantly read this review on the net about the jb940. Things below
are I think what was missing from the 940 which he had on the 920.
I wanted to by the 930 but am holding out for the 940.
What I wanted to know is does the 930 have the featutes that are missing
from the 940?

<< Snip >>
It lacks the "Rec-It"-Feature that can be used in conjunction with
Control-A1-equipped CD-players to record the track you are listening to
with a single button push.

Even though it is equipped with pitch control, there is no way to increase
speed - no more "Mickey-Mousing".
