MD: Digital input bit length on JB920

1999-08-15 Thread CVoris1
I have a Sony MDS-JB920 deck which allows you to switch both the digital input and output bit length to either 16, 20 or 24 bits. I record MDs through an optical input from my Sony CDP-C515 5-disc CD changer, which is several years old. Given that CDs are encoded at 16 bits, and the age of

MD: Neato MD labels

1999-08-11 Thread CVoris1
I recently purchased some Neato MD labels and so far, I think they're wonderful. However, I find that since I store most of my MDs in Case Logic folders, which will not hold the MD in its slip case, I either wind up making a label for the case that I don't really need, or else just wasting

Like many of you, I joined in mailing the 'protest letter' to V2 Records regarding their producing CDs encoded with the SCMS 'no-copy' bit set. When they sent out their offer of a free CD to those who had e-mailed them, I sent back my mailing address. Today I received my CD of the album

MD: Neato labels

Hi all, I have been reading some of your comments about Neato MD labels and I have a couple of questions. First, how well do the labels stick to brands of MD other than Sony that don't have the right size depression for the label on the surface of the disk, like TDK, or have an uneven

Here's another question: Why does Sony put the comma on the remote for titling, but not the apostrophe? In the 3 weeks or so since I bought my JB920, I've found that I've used the apostrophe many more times than the comma, but it's much harder to access (you have to scroll through the
