So a fan assisted burner is what it really is ~ can only see the flame from the spy-hole on the front

Thank you for this video. Firstly, I would like to say that Pioneer is my number one audio/video brand and I have over the years owned a few different machines of theirs. I now have a hi-fi tower, which is all Pioneer - turntable, double cassette deck, 6 disc multi-changer, a minidisc deck, and even a CD recorder which is a 3 disc changer and single disc recording deck and of course the Dolby Pro-logic receiver all Pioneer. I even have an audio timer connected to it too, which is as you guessed Pioneer, not to mention that I have a Pioneer DAP/Digital Audio Player and Pioneer bluetooth headphones, a BluRay DVD player and a DVD recorder/HDD recorder but I have yet to own a DAT deck. I only knew about them a few years ago. I had heard of DAT but didn't know what it were until watching KZbin videos. Your insight into the world of DAT that you explain so well to me when showing off your incredible machine is just entertaining and I hope you won't be offended if I say that you have a lovely (and can I say sexy) voice, which I also find entertaining, soothing and relaxing. It's not just how it sounds it is also the way you speak. You sound like a very sincere and decent easy going guy and apart from your voice I loved the video. I think I could watch anything that you are commenting on just for your voice. I'm sorry. I don't mean to sound inappropriate I just wanted to pay you a compliment. Thank you again for the video. I hope to see a follow up video i.e. where you turn the machine on.

wow that was sooooo long winded for a simple, "these are the same" video.. 🙄

Greetings mate. Did you get it sorted?

Where does the MDS -JE770 sit in the Minidisc line up.

Love the look of this thing.

Не понимаю по-английски, а субтитров нет. Подскажите, есть ли блютуз?

Technics appears to have the most reliable vintage cassette decks.

Hi I've got pioneer/Sony mini disc decks .. luckily no belt problems 👍

the sound quality is the same of the audio technica AT LP120? please help me.. in my country the people is poor.. the atlp120 cost +- 250 dollars in second hand market.. and have a chance to buy one NEU MK3 of the video for 130$ dollars..

Without bias adjustment it is very unlikely that a good recording can be made. Your deck does not look having either auto or manual calibration. The cassette is more than good, if done properly. Dolby must be used (preferably type C) to reduce hiss.

Tampoco hay diferencia aunque hayan sido usado más de 100 veces los MD. Recomiendo siempre usar la conexión coaxial, tiene más ancho de banda. Y al amplificador por rca análogo

How and why can you not like Dolby B & C (and S, if you can get it) noise reduction. You mentioned a lot of hiss, so it boggles MY mind how you can not want to you it. With my Onkyo TA-2700, along with Dolby C, using a Type II (and especially a Type IV) tape, I have to say that I can pretty closely copy a CD.

Fostex D-5 Pioneer D500 Tascam DA-20 is the same machine to the Pioneer D-05 the channel 12voltvids confirm this

Do the Axias have the same problem the TDKs have with that white powder shedding? I used to use TDK MA cassettes all the time until I read about that. I tried an Axia PS-Metal recently and it worked very well.

Where u buy this deck?

Cool i have the Onkyo MD-105FX ,its the mini version

Would the 105 FX be able to format standard MD's into HI-MD's similar to what you did with your onkyo 133?

Hi @hifi-lofi. Didcyou manage to resolve your issue? I have a same problem on my onkyo md-133.

Hi! Just want to thank you for this in-depth video. I know nothing about these machines, so why did I find your video? My dad used to be a bass player (musician) and sound engineer (idk if that’s what it’s called) for radio and television. He’s getting old (70) and he’s got a lot of these machines, I want to be able to preserve them once he’s no longer with us. But these machines haven’t been used in over 15 years and I don’t even know if they work. So that’s why I thank you for your video, I’m not ready to test these machines (I wouldn’t even know how to) but your informative video lets me know, once I get my hands on them, I might have a chance of getting them to work and be able to listen to my dads vintage collection of cassettes, vinyls and CD’s.

reels cassette tape sell online

Hi, any chance you can help me with my question. When are you recording from the analog how can you add the chapters/id/number for the tracks?

The keyboard is just a PS2 keyboard.

speaker speaks like an alien from a 1950's SF B-movie. he's eight, it is mediocre )

Im from the US. We say kerosene. Parafin is used in reference to candles. Parafin wax.

Greetings from Trinidad. Thank you for your videos and helpful content. I am seriously thinking of buying one of these soon. Fair prices on ebay, how do u lioe or rate it as a daily driver?

Hi, thanks for all the very useful info in this video. Can I do that from a portable MD,, say a N1 or N600? Thanks

Can you use these on a normal minidisc player?

Great video! I love how you explain the various Onkyo MD products available.

Is there a follow up video to this?

Clearly a pure Sony product, just rebadged at Onkyo. Case in point: the speaker connectors. I have a (slightly earlier) Sony system that came with the exact same connectors. Thankfully mine came with the (miserable) original speakers, so I could simply cut the wires and put clamps (for lack of a better word) on them and use other speakers. I have also seen those connecors on other Sony products (like A/V receivers). Interesting info on dishonesty of some Japanese sellers btw. I always got a different impression from other videos, so I thought it might be worth it buying some stuff from JP (even though the cost of shipping to Europe is quite high)

the reason why those have more hiss is the more close to the 2000´s they were released the worst they become but one as to have the deck demagnetised and using good belts, your system is great but maybe not so good with type I cheap cassettes , the grey casing maxells put out of tune any deck, i had restored a SONY TC-K920QS ,the same as the old TC-K611S, i have only recorded there two maxells c 90 XLII with those light grey casings for two monthes no problem after some times the sound decreases it´s quality at after a few seconds of playing them, but i made it as a test as i have better cassettes that were ofered when no one was using them and better decks, well i have a big colection of high-end decks, i had a 555ES from 87 and it was a great sony deck

in never play pre-recorded cassettes only good blank tapes to record and play after

i have very good decks and the UR i record them today from difrerent years and sound perfect,if the deck iosn´t a very good one might not sound that good o0r if it isn´t tuned or with tired belts, have lot´s of SA-x from tdk and sony UX-pro but i´ve been using the tdk D ,AD, AD-x and maxell UR also the black casing XLI-S, type I was always my favorite ones, it cames from the use of reel decks that only recorded ferric tapes but with a higher quality not possible with decks but each knows what´s better for his system

I have Onkyo FR-71A which is for Japan market. I have it running in UK, on 110V of course. The sound output is too loud and. Volume know is only 5% rotated and the level bars are going into the red. Do you know how to adjust sound output setup?

Hi I like your set up I have the Sony MD JB-930 single 1998 & the Marantz 607 CD player with the Marantz NR1200 amp & the Dali Opticon 2 MK2 speakers with the Dali E9F sub so a great sound experience, and I love my Mini Disc deck I still go to the Labrery to rent CD’s & then record them on my Sony MD machine and I also enjoy the experience like you I also recorded quite a few vinyl albums on to MD by analogue way I have over 300 MD recordings some compilations I made but mostly albums I also recorded all my Beatles vinyl albums of course I do also have a nice CD collection & yes there is a slight difference in sound quality but still a very good hifi sound I get from my MD recordings, my hifi is the same silver colour as yours except my MD deck is black but still a fantastic piece of hifi equipment that keeps on going that’s over 20 years old, as vinyl’s have made a big comeback & CDs are making a comeback I really hope Mini Disc’s will make a return as it sounds so much better than streaming services as well as CD’s, sorry for my long text anyway peace ✌️ and thank you for reading this.

It is quite loud.

how can we use dubbing function. can you explain more details

Where did you buy the FX from ? I wish the FX had the yellow display the TX does

I just recorded on to an identical tape. I set the level to peak at +3 and it sounds phenomenal for what is by today's standards, a cheap tape. I did use Dolby B. I don't usually like Dolby but on my new deck it sounds great, without making playback sound muddy. I wasn't expecting such great results to be perfectly honest, but I will definitely pick up some more of these cassettes!

Hi! Late to the party, but the Intec 275 series were released in Europe indeed, at least in Germany. That's where i bought my A-933, C-733 and T-433 years ago. Still working just fine. The MD-133 was only released in Japan, had to get one there along with a 240 to 100 volt transformer. It still works but it's struggling a bit with Hi-MD recordings, now... Regular MD still play correctly. Cheers mate :D

3:09,Try also the MONITOR function on your 3 head cassette deck to switch and compare the sound from source to the recorded tape and made ajustements 'on the fly': Bias knob and Dolby.

Very nice video, what other machines can format discs like this? Can I do it from my Hi-MD player itself?

JVC company Oscar Assays copyright account number is pass. Amém and obrigado. ❤🎉

Yeah I also prefer the display on the older generation 205 just looks cleaner and easier to read.

Can you advise what 20000 yen is in GBP please
