 In the manual, it says you can use two nickel-cadmium rechargeable
 batteries (NC-AA), or two size AA (LR6) alkaline batteries.

 Mine came with the rechargeables, and they've worked just fine for me.

  3. Can all functions be performed without the remote?

 Yep!  Apparently the remote isn't very nifty, but I use it all the
 time.  You can order extra remotes, too.


Can you use a MZ-R55 or MZ-R50 with  the MZ-R37?

You should also be able to use NiMH cells as well without problem.  And
they last longer than NiCd.

MD: MZ-R37 Questions

2000-04-13 Thread Curtis Mathews


I just bought an open box R37 with no accessories or manual and I have some
questions.
1.  Anyone know where I can get a copy of the manual?
2. Does it use standard AA Ni-cads or some special Sony batteries?
3. Can all functions be performed without the remote?

Thanks!

 1.  Anyone know where I can get a copy of the manual?

On the MDCP: http://www.minidisc.org/mzr37_user_manual/

 2. Does it use standard AA Ni-cads or some special Sony batteries?

It comes with two rechargeable AA batteries - runs fine on alkaline AAs, so
I'd have thought Ni-Cads will be ok as well.

 3. Can all functions be performed without the remote?

Almost certainly yes, but check through the manual to see what you're
missing. You may be interested in this (from the Sony "general" page" on the
MDCP):

"Sony remotes generally interoperate among the various portable units.
Gerald Tomyn adds: Sony sells a replacement wired remote control, the
RM-MZE1. It comes in silver or blue (both see-through) and has a backlit LCD
screen. This remote can be used with ANY of the following recorders/players:
MZ-R30, R37, R50, R55, R90, R91, R4ST, R5ST, E25, E30, E33, E35, E44, E45,
E50, E55, E70, E80, EP10, EP11, EPS11."

The replacement one is quite a bit nicer than the standard remote, so if you
decide to get one you won't have paid to have an old one sitting about
useless :-)

hth,

I just bought the remote for an MZ-R55 on ebay.  they work with the 37,
along with most sony remotes i've tried.
I now have a spare remote for an R37 if you are interested.
