Thanks Dan, very informative! Could you tell me if the Y-cable is male or female on the RCA end?
Thanks again,
Thom
: The cable that you use to go into the MiniDisc (the Y adaptor RCA to 1/8") is stereo, however, you get longer recording time in Mono on the player, and if the signal is not panned left or right, then recording mono is just fine. If you're receiving a mono signal, it makes no difference if the cable is stereo. And if all you have is not a Y adaptor, but a one sided RCA to mono 1/8", plug it into the left output. (That's the mono standard). Even if you record mono on the MD, it still outputs 2 channels (just the same signal on each channel). The way you can tell if a cable is stereo or mono is if it has 2 black stripes or one. (2 is stereo)

: : Hi, are these usually mono feeds or stereo? Do you record in mono or stereo on the md?

: : : I use the minidisc primarily instead of a wireless. If the church has a soundboard, you can take a feed straight out of the soundboard into either line in or mic in of the MD. Great sound, just bring a variety of cables. Seems the most common I have run into is RCA to 1/8th, although 1/4" to 1/8" or XLR to 1/8" is possible as well. Just sync it in post with your video and your set.
: : : Ive never used the MD for ambient sound. The lav mic I use is pretty useless except for catching the vows, minister, etc.
: : : : I am using a wireless mic system with my VX-2000 with great results recording the groom, bride, and pastor but I need a mini disc recorder to record the music (singing and etc). Will this system need a wireless mic and if there is a soundboard, can I plug directly into it? When using a mic with the mini disc, where do u place it? As always, thanks for any help!
