Re: MD: Sony 750 FM/AM
So I wouldn't expect perfect reception out of a Walkman radio because of the way it is used. As well, I often wonder whether the cable that runs between the G750 and the remote is the set's FM aerial or whether it is just the headphone cable? With regards Simon Mackay Starting from the 750, there's a special combined power/headphone in for the remote. The radio is in the remote. The headphone is plugged into the remote. Actually, radio reception got better since I use a headphone with a longer cable. I now use the Sony MDR-EX70LP. With a longer cable, there's more room to experiment with the best position for the antenna. BTW, the radio uses more battery power than playing an MD. Very strange.

RE: MD: Sony 750 FM/AM
===BEGIN QUOTE== I've got a 750. The FM reception is pretty good. I listen to it quite often when I'm in public transport. Sometimes there's some distortion, but that's usually caused by the electrical systems of the train. AM reception is OK, but I hardly ever listen to AM. In the Netherlands all the stations I listen to are in the FM range. ===END QUOTE== When you listen to FM on any Walkman radio, including the G750, the headphone cord is your FM aerial / antenna. There are a lot of factors to consider with FM radio on a Walkman. The metal housing that is common with public transport vehicles can act as an RF shield and, as you travel, you will experience destructive multipath which is similar to ghosting on analogue TV. This is because you will receive radio signals reflected off hills and tall buildings as well as the direct signal that is emanating from your favourite station's transmitting tower. This can cause cancelling out which results in poor signal or mono reception at spasmodic times. As you walk or travel; or even move your headphone lead, the signal will come back to normal stereo reception.

I listen to it quite often when I'm in public transport. Sometimes there's some distortion, but that's usually caused by the electrical systems of the train. AM reception is OK, but I hardly ever listen to AM. In the Netherlands all the stations I listen to are in the FM range. The 750 is exactly the same size as the 700. Only difference is the headphone out, which comes with power out to power the remote. The remote includes the radio, the player doesn't. So you can't listen to the radio without the remote, but you can listen to MD without the remote. I can really recommend this unit. It's not cheap, but the radio is a very welcome addition. The only thing I didn't like with this unit were the phones. Simply hate them. I replaced them with a pair of Sony MDR-EX70LP. Sound is very good and the silicone earbuds are very, very comfortable. I can listen to these for hours while hardly noticing them. Mark - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
