Just remember that it has to be a HiMD deck.
I don't remember ever seeing component-sized rather than portable-sized
HiMD players/recorders, but that was a while ago.
The main point being, an original MD deck with coax out like a JB 920 or
what have you, will not work for HiMD recorded as HiMD!
There was however optical out on the portables, wasn't there? (Or did they
remove that on HiMD?)
