Hello Folks, I still use my MZ-NH900.

Trouble is I cannot switch it off.
By that I mean when I need to turn it off the Cancel button no longer turns the machine off.

Any ideas please.
Thanks,

Turning it off idea: select 'play 1-track' mode?

Blimey what an idea to come up with!! You must have brains you never used yet, ha ha.
Umm, I have to dig out the manual to find out how to select: 'play 1-track' mode'.
Thanks slugbahr

Pressing cancel only supposed to set the machine charging from power adapter.

Normally should turn off as soon as doing nothing for a minute or two.

If you mean that it hangs, writing the TOC for example, then it needs adjusting (or worst case, the head replacing).

Yeah, but it doesn't

No. It doesn't hang. It simply continues to play. Nothing I press will stop the play and no button will shut it down.

If that includes using a remote, then you have got a weird one. Are you sure you didn't leave it in Service Mode or summat?

If it works fine with the remote, you have got a "power-to-the-buttons" problem. This is sometimes fixed by cleaning contacts, but more usually by adjusting the overall power to the unit. Certainly for my NH900 the screen was v dim when I first got it. If you can do it, it's the very first item in the Power Adjust sequence, I think.

Hello sfbp, I don't usually use the remote - but I managed to find one - and it works with the remote. Hooray! so thanks for that.
As to the cleaning contacts and Power Adjust sequence I am sorry but I do not know about that. Where can I find some guidance so I can understand what to do please...

This might be a project for Jim Hoggarth who lives in Bradford. He has a very reasonable charge for servicing.

My experience (and memory, don't kill me if I got it wrong) was it's the very first (or one of the ones near the top) of the adjustments on page 18 of the service manual which you can find here or at minidisc.org.

If your screen on the machine is very dim (maybe you got used to it!!!) that's another indication I may be correct.
