MD: Md question, Uk residents

2001-03-13 Thread Gerard Naude
Hiya all.. I'm going over to the UK for a holiday pretty soon. My question is: Is the sharp mt-77 available in the shops in London? I know it is a strange question, but I want to know if I should hold out until my holiday before I buy a new MD recorder. If you have seen one, did you see a

MD: Remotes for Sony Portables

2001-03-13 Thread Ian Horsey
Hello Does anyone know where I could get hold of a remote for a Sony MZR portable in the UK? I think its an MZR90 or MZR91. My brother recently destroyed his, and is eager to get a replacement. Thanks in advance Ian === Ian Horsey Consultant in Obvious

2001-03-13 Thread Timothy Stockman
Well, I have at least a partial answer to whether Mcrew is backwards compatible with the Sony MDS-PC2. I downloaded and installed it and get the error "PCLK-10 does not respond" when I run it, so apparently it is not backward compatible to the CAV-50C serial interface. It might actually run

MD: LiIon cell for MDMT831?

Hi. I just ordered my first Minidisc unit, a Sharp MT831! I'm quite excited! *calms down* Anyway, I have a question about it's included LiIon battery ... is it available from anywhere besides Sharp Japan? Reading about LiIon cells, it sounds as if they last a good thousand charge/discharge

Richard, Thank you for your response. It wasn't the answer that I wanted; but at least I know what my options are. I guess for the time being I'll just keep playing my MT-15 through the aux input. I was considering getting a 722 for the less dangerous front-loading mech if this didn't work

The 831 is great - rather user-friendly and sounds better than many MD portables. Ithink it's best not to leave your 831 standing on the 2 longer sides (the sides where the mic in, AC jack and line in are). If you do that, often the pickup doesn't stay where it and will drop down to the bottom

Other things to watch for... You forgot: o Try disabling any "motherboard / system monitor applications" - you know, the kind that come with recent computers that check that your CPU isn't over temperature, your CPU fans are still working at 5000RPM, etc... o Try a different VIDEO card or

For what it's worth, I've used only one portable player/recorder, the Sony MZ-R50. It has been a great piece of gear. That battery life is not the absolute longest, but it's very competitive (I've seen as long as 6hr recording on internal power alone for a lecture). It's not the

I would definitely look at uBid. If you are getting a recorder for minimal use, and size isn't an issue, you should look at the Sharp MD-MT15 they put up frequently. You could get it pretty cheap in comparison, and I think that Sharps are much easier to use, especially when recording. Dan

Yes, they do. You can turn it off in winamp, if you like. I don't know about WMP. They do this in order to sample the audio stream so they can generate visualization goodies off of it (as opposed to just going straight through the cable, the programs would never see the data, and hence would
