Title: how stable is JB3 when moving around
Post by: dr.ph0b on May 18, 2004, 02:38:54 AM
how well could i expect the JB3 to perform if its moved around slightly. for example, can it run vertically inside a fanny pack ala stealth?

you shouldn't have any problems with it as long as you don't give it too much of a shock.  I use mine in my car as an audio player on my dash and it seems to  handle the bumps OK.   I wouldn't go jogging with it tho.

nice.. thanks. i was just doing a transfer of a show in wav format, from HD to JB3, on the last file, the JB3 gave me an error "overheating, shutting down" now that make me worried about running it in a fanny pack.  anyone else get that error b4?

running upright should not be a problem.

i'd be careful about shocking it while recording, in theory it should be the same as playback (unlike an md, which has a shock buffer on playback, but not on record) but i'd hate to have a fucked recording be the result of a shock to it.
