RE: MD: MD --- Cassette

You don't say if your MD is a deck or a portable. deck: connect MD to amplifier, set amplifier to "MD", connect cassette deck (spits) to amplifier, press PLAY on MD, press RECORD on cassette deck. You get stereo if you connect enough wires. portie: use a stereo mini-jack to whatever cassette deck uses for input lead to connect portie to cassette. I can't seem to locate anything that would let me do this digitally (I'm SURE I'm wrong about that). I'm struggling not to make fun of you over this bit. Suffice it to say, cassettes are analog. They CAN store digital data by coding the data into a stream of audio tones, but I don't think this is what you want. simon - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: MD: MD --- Cassette
Well, this sounds like a blasphem to me !
Lol anyway, as standard cassettes (not DCC) are analogic media, there
WILL be a digital/analog conversion somewhere on the signal's way...
The signal will be in stereo, don't worry ! Analog handles stereo
aswell.. not only digital does it ;-)
If you are using a deck, then connect the MD's digital output to the
digital input of the amplifier and then its analogic output to the input
of the cassette deck (cassette decks always have one input and one
output). Use the amplifier switch to route the signal to the cassette
deck ("rec target" or something like that).
If you are using a portable, the output is always analogic (never seen
any digital one yet... anyone has ?).
Use this output to connect the cassette recorder using a RCA / mini jack
wire (in most cases).
Enjoy ;-

RE: MD: MD --- Cassette
The only way would be via analogue outputs/inputs. Since compact cassette is not a digital format, there is no way of doing it digitally. So get behind your MD deck, take the 2 RCA outputs (left and right) and plug them into the left and right inputs of your tape recorder (assuming it is a stereo unit, as most are). There is no reason for you to be stuck with a mono recording if the tape deck is a stereo unit.

Link the Line Out on the Minidisc to the Line In on the cassette deck is probably your best bet. I do this regularly because my Dad hasn;t joined the 20th century yet and still has a cassette deck in the car (he has justr bought a Minidisc for the HiFi though, so he's getting there, hehehe). The cable you need will depend on whether you are linking a portable or HiFi MD to a portable Cassete deck, HiFi system, or Minisystem. Let me know what it is and I can tell you exactly what to look for - I'll even EMail you some pictires of the cables so you know what to look for. :o) I can't seem to locate anything that would let me do this digitally (I'm SURE I'm wrong about that). Will I be stuck with a mono recording?? Unless you are talking about linking to a Digital Cassette system (I doubt you are) you're going to be looking for a long time! I think you are getting confused between stereo and digital - just because you don't copy digitally doesn't mean it has to be mono, so no, you wont be stuck with a Mono recording. -- Magic Location : Portsmouth, England, UK Homepage : http://www.mattnet.freeserve.co.uk EMail : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yes, the Sony MZ-R1, but it is not dissimilar to a brick in many ways (large, combersome and heavy).

Re: MD: MD --- Cassette
Good morning all... I'm wondering what the best way to get a recorded minidisc transferred to a regular old cassette would be. I can't seem to locate anything that would let me do this digitally (I'm SURE I'm wrong about that). Will I be Yes, you're sure about that. Remember, the (Compact?) Cassette is an ANALOG medium of recording. stuck with a mono recording?? Mmmm... I don't think so. If you have an stereo deck, connected in stereo and a stereo recording your result WILL be in stereo. If you wanna try (I only have done these once, for a friend... and result very well :) ) do it exactly if you're copying a CD. Everything applies for any digital recording media (CD, MD, LaserDisc, DVD, DVD Audio, MP3 or any another MPEG source, ATRAC3, WMA, WAV, TwinVQ, SACD, etc.) as the source to transfer to a Casette: - Use CrO2 or Metal Tape - The input for the tape must be set around +6 dB (if you want a good recording) - Use a Dolby noise reduction system (Dolby B is fine, but if you have a Dolby S Deck, use it instead of the old B system). A deck with HX-Pro will make your recording even better. The connections are the following: - From a portable MD: You must use an stereo minijack to an stereo cinch (RCA) jacks to an amplifier or stereo system. - If you already have a MD deck and a casette deck (connected in the same system), I think you'll not need anything else. Just put the MD as the source and do everything I said before. If you have any other question, feel free to contact me. Good luck!
