RE: MD: MD to SB(value) transfer
The original argument: can't do it 'cause the porty doesn't have a digital out. I foolishly countered: Yes it does--the line out doubles as an optical-out. J. Coon fired back: I'm sorry, but I had one and the line out doubles as an OPTICAL IN, not an optical out. and then Remko van der Vossen added: No it doesn't, http://www.minidisc.org/mz-r30.html Aaaarrrgghhh! You're all right--I apologize profusly for knowing next to nothing! What I have got, though, is a Sony home unit that does allow such things as digital ports galore. Many, many apologies. I am going to take Martin's advice and look into Hoontech's add-on cards, though No prob, as long as it gets straightened out, so others don't get confused.

I'm sorry, but I had one and the line out doubles as an OPTICAL IN, not an optical out. Off hand, I don't know of any current porty that has an optical out.

From: Thomas, Ferris can't do it 'cause the porty doesn't have a digital out. Yes it does--the line out doubles as an optical-out. Just out of curiosity, which model is this? I've never heard of a portable with an optical out besides that very first Sony...

Really quick: I've got a PC with a soundBlaster value card in it. What is the easiest/best way to do digital transfers from my sony MZR-30 to the PC? Thanks in advance. F.S.

Re: MD: MD to SB(value) transfer
Really quick: I've got a PC with a soundBlaster value card in it. What is the easiest/best way to do digital transfers from my sony MZR-30 to the PC? not, your MZR30 doesn't have a digital out, (almost none of the portables have), the other way around is possible, you need a small converter to convert the coaxial signal coming from your SB to an optical signal, then connect the converter to your MZR30 with an optical cable. you can build a converter yourself for something like $10-$20, just look for a schematic on internet (www.minidisc.org) and build it yourself, or let someone with some electronics experience build it. BTW, it could be possible to modify your MZR30 so it is possible to make a custom digital output, but you'd have to ask for that, I wouldn't know.

Re: MD: MD to SB(value) transfer
can't do it 'cause the porty doesn't have a digital out. now if you want to record from the pc to the porty, thats a different story.

Get a digital bracket from Hoontech. That will allow you to connect via Toslink very easily. www.hoontech.com. They are very inexpensive. -- Martin -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Thomas, Ferris Sent: Monday, November 29, 1999 2:32 PM To: MD list Subject: MD: MD to SB(value) transfer Really quick: I've got a PC with a soundBlaster value card in it.
