Hello Boys and Girls,
I hope non of you mind but I thought this may be worth a try. It will probably fall on stoney ground but as my Grandad always said, "If you dont ask the answer is always no." I did search to see if you'd done this before, i found nothing so if you have I apologise.
I was thinking of perhaps setting up a petition to get this done. Im afraid i forgot to ask about SD direct play but I will should I receive a response. O f course if there's anything else you can think of i will of course add it.
As I've said I'm not expecting a great deal from this but its got to be worth a try.
This is the Email I sent..perhaps we should all just bombard them into submission..
Dear Sir/Madam
I am writing in regard to your now discontinued Technics SLDZ-1200 DJ CD player.
This is a plea from the entire community of devotee's of this fantastic machine. To put it bluntly we need upgraded software for the units as they fall short of the competition such as mp3's that play at 320kbps, A distortion free scratch especially noticable during pitch lock. The ability to adjust the loop start/stop would be a bonus too.
We who love this machine wish that this unit had been more successfull and was still in production,A mk2 with a waveform display wouldve been simply awesome. However we realise this is highly unlikely so here I am. The fact is the unit only needs software to be near perfect.
There are several options I can think of, one is for yourselves to iron out the issues and sell the upgrade as a "MK2" upgrade. Another is to allow users to upgrade by releasing the code. (in case your really not interested in persuing the market) 3 would be a Proper MK2,
There are thousands of people still using the DZ and coping with its shortfalls, this must show you how much we ADORE the unit..the pioneer feels like a mere toy in comparison. Please take hold of the DJ market again...we DJ's need you!
I really hope to get a response from you on this matter as its very close to a LOT of peoples hearts.
Thankyou so very much for your time and patience with me, hope to hear from you soon.
