 A general note, some flashlights sold for military and camping use come
 with a red filter (often stored in the base.) These lights are designed
 to read maps without giving away positions to the enemy (or to
 bears???), so this might work well also.

Astronomers use them too.  The red filter is used because it doesn't
cause your pupils to adjust to a different level of light, so you aren't
blinded for a few moments when you turn the flashlight off.

I think the original MZ-R1 had a backlight feature. This is something that's
been on my wish list for a while. Someday...

MD: backlights

2000-07-24 Thread Charles Redell


Hi there,

OK. I know I may be dreaming as I ask this question, but I figured that
it couldn't hurt to ask. And after watching this list for a few weeks,
you all seem to know everything there is to know about MD stuff... so
here goes.

Last winter I got a Sharp 722 portable. I got it to dupe CDs (my own, of
course, for personal use only) and to bootleg live shows. Most of
the shows I record are small local acts in bars and clubs (I know the
bands usually and wouldn't dream of selling these for profit...). Since
I am recording in a small and dark club, it is really hard to see the
recording levels on this unit, though very important since the sound
guys are less than reliable... I have been carrying around a small
flashlight to keep an eye on my levels... but this is annoying to use,
obnoxious for folks around me, and really obvious when I am recording a
bigger band that I don't know.

I know you can control the levels with the remote when recording and
that it has a backlight, but it doesn't show you the levels. My
question: Is there anyway to A) get the levels to appear on the remote
display? or B) get a backlight (or some sort of light on the dispaly)on
the main unit?

If not, and anyone has any bright ideas (ahh-hem), I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
Charlie
