hello everybody
I've been lurking for a while and I must thank you all for the advices and
tips I got from you guys. thanks again.
I want to make a digital copy of the audio from a DVD to my Panasonic DAT
SV-3700.
The DVD player (of a friend of mine) is a top-of-the-line Sony with coax
digital out, but I do not know if it comes out with a digital 5.1 channel
signal or normal SPDIF.
I could record the audio from the analog outs but I would prefer digital
transfer...
Any suggestions?
thanks

Subject: Re: melted d8 battery sled?
Date: Tue, 11 Feb 2003 14:15:52 -0500
I thought this was a fairly common problem...I've had this happen to
me twice with both the D7 and D8.
It looks to me like it is a heat-related problem that melted the plastic in
the shape of the battery.
If it were a leaky battery, it would be messy on the inside - corroded, acid
residue, etc.
Since I can't really see the inside, I can't tell, but it would be obvious
to you. I do see an inside contact in one pic, and it looks perfectly
clean - so I think you can rule out chemical breakdown of the plastic.
Now, the question is - Why did the batteries overheat? I can't really help
you there. If the batteries became shorted this could happen. For
instance, in the case of an internal device (D8) fault. I have not heard of
bad batteries themselves causing overheating, I suppose it is possible, but
unlikely. How did the deck behave last time your friend used it? Was this
caused by one-time damage or an ongoing problem?
I would have the device tested for current draw / proper operation before
buying a new sled, then finding out there is a bigger problem, and possibly
ruining another sled.

Hi CB,
Would you mind clarifying a couple of things? Do you have 2-AKG3000B's and
2-AKG1000's or just 1 of each? What are you using for phantom power for the
AKG3000 mic/mics?

asking a question that is not so technical in nature. Well, anyway, I'll
suck it up in hopes that someone (most likely ANYONE) in this here group can
help me out b/c the prob i'm having probably is really simple for all those
who are quite experienced with DAT rigs.

> PROBLEM: As I said, I'm a newbie and recently acquired a rig--a TCD-8, AKG
3000B and AKG 1000 mics complete the rig. I went out the other day to get an
XLR>1/8 inch adapter for the mics. I've been fucking with this thing ever
since--i just get digital hiss everytime I plug in the 1/8" to the D8 with
the mic plugged in and, for a second, the sound levels fluctuate making me
think something is being picked up outside of the static of the 1/8" going
into the D8.

> QUESTION: Can anyone out there tell me why this isn't working? And what I
should do to remedy this situation/what I should get. It might be important
to mention that the 3000B runs on phantom power. Any help is GREATLY
appreciated, as I want to get this rig up and running very soon. Thanks in
advance! -CB

Subject: More newbie questions
Date: Tue, 11 Feb 2003 13:22:49 -0800 (PST)
Hi everyone. I have a couple quick questions. I
tried to find the answers before bugging the list, but
couldn't find them.
I recently purchased a used Sony M1 which I use for
taping live shows. (Sonic Studios mics.)
Unfortunatley, it came with no accessories and no
instructions.
My questions are:
1. Does anybody know of someplace I can find a
complete instruction manual for this device? Perhaps
on-line that I could download? (Barring this, would
anyone be willing to photocopy and mail it to me if I
reimburse the cost of copies and postage?)
2. It didn't come with a power adapter. It requires
one that is 4.5v. I have an adapter from my Sharp
Minidisc recorder that I used to use. It seems to
connect properly to the DAT recorder, but is 5.0v.
Can anyone tell me if there is any risk of damaging my
DAT deck by using a 5.0v instead of 4.5v adapter?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Cheers,
Chris

Subject: cp-4 caps and info
Date: Tue, 11 Feb 2003 16:27:01 -0500
Whats up everybody?
I recently got a pair of tascam pe-120 condenser mics. These are identical
to the Nakamichi cm-300's. I believe tascam, nak, and teac are all owned by
the same parent company.
anyway, I am looking for a pair of the cp-4 capsules, the "super
directional" ones. All equipment and information on these seems to be
pretty scarce these days.
If anyone has some caps they'd like to part with, please do let me know.
Also, if anyone can hook me up with any documentation either via website or
paper about these mics, the caps, and/or the mx-100 nakamichi mixer that
originally was made for these, please let me know.
and does anyone who has used these mics know if they can be phantom powered
rather than powered by the special 9.1 volt battery?
Scouring the knowledge of DAT-heads really seems to be the best place to
find information! thanks to all!

So what is THE easiest inexpensive program that allows you to "digitize"
analog audio into a Mac Powerbook without adding a PCMIA card? Griffin
Technologies sells an cheap device to do such a thing via USB <A
HREF="http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/powerwave/getting_started.html
">Griffin Technology</A> ; what do you guys think? It seems too good to be
true. Understand that this is NOT for a spectacular recording but rather for
a very long and important lecture. (and I want to sleep with the lecturer.)

Hey folks,
sorry for the repost, but there were no takers the
first time around and I've lowered my asking price to
$625. Would love to get this sold (and don't want to
bother with ebay), make me an offer if you're at all
interested!
Here's the details:
-Tascam DAP1, in flawless working order
-cleaned, aligned, etc., by paul plotnik at pro
digital in april of 2000
- ~260 hours on the heads
- has had some of the rubber coating scraped off in a
few small places on the top of the deck. This happened
when my V2 got loose in a backpack and the metal front
edge of the V2 rubbed against the deck in april '01.
It's purely cosmetic, the deck still functions
beautifully - I can supply pictures if needed.
- One thing I want to make very clear, as it relates
to the lifespan of the deck, is that it was never
powered in the field by a 6 volt source. The deck
needs 7.2, the interal batteries supply between 5.9
and 8.3. I used a 12volt battery with a 12v DC > 7.5
volt converter (which also functions as a voltage
regulator, it outputs a steady 7.5 volts right up
untill the battery goes out) I got about 6 hours
straight off a (rather old) 12v 7 Ah battery. I would
be happy to include the converter if you would like
it.
- I cut the AC adapter cable and inserted XLR plugs to
allow me to use either my battery setup or the AC
adapter. I can remove these if (for some reason) you
don't want them.
That's about it. Email me if interested or if you have
any questions.
~Chris

I have a rare videotape of an Austin band called The Reivers (originally
known as Zeitgeist) that I would dearly love to get converted to DVD. I'd
like to get it burnt to uncompressed DVD format (I am assuming stuff like
VCD is compressed, right?), as this tape has had a little generational loss
already, and I don't want to degrade the thing any further.
Can anyone help me out with this? I'd be willing to send it to you with
blank DVDs, B & P-style, plus whatever else you might like to make it worth
your while (within reason...). To tell you the truth, I have a great
Uncle Tupelo show on VHS to copy too...
