Hello All, I was woundering.... ;) I've recently started using the digital output of my computer CD drive and turning it into an optical signal and it sounds great. A hell of a lot better. It's a lot clearer then when it's coming out of the analouge out on the back of my CD drive and out of the headphone socket. Sounds more refined, cleaner, etc.... ;) I'm currently using my Sharp 722 as an optical to analogue converter, ie. leaving it in record mode and taking the output from the headphones/line into my speakers. Am I doiung any damage to the MD while leaving it in record mode for so long without actually recording, ie. is the laser on at all or any other parts for physical recording in use? Just don't want to burn anything out ;). Also does anyone know the life expectancy of a Optical Transmitter? Mines constantly on when my computer is, so I dont want to kill the emitter. Any one any idea in hours? 30000? etc. Thanks, Peter -> Having a lovly xmas break trying like crazy to finish his alevel computing project before the 4th of January. Oh lets hope college blows up or somin ;). -- "These days when a guy takes a girl into his room to show her his hardware, it usually turns out to be a 33MHz 486DX with 120Mb hard drive and SVGA" -- Mike Knowles Peter Wood.
