I've never used Itunes. But if I was the proprietor of Itunes I might well send the "holey" bit patterns to prevent people making second gen copies. As I said, I don't think that's what's happening here - this all arose when you suddenly got "cannot copy" in the middle of your various tests.
It WOULD be interesting to see if the skips happen on the coax connection. I have a little gizmo that converts TOSlink to coax and also the reverse (one box) which might be worth the $10 or so (of course you could be an electronics whiz like these two guys and make one for about $3), if your source is TOSlink only.

One other little detail. Depending on what software you used to create a CD-R, it (the CD) MAY be considered uncopyable, like a second generation MD. Bruce (Bluecrab) demonstrated this to me and sent me a CD with holes in it (not literally, but in the SCMS bit pattern!) to prove the point, which I still have. I suppose it's even possible that some tracks on a CD-R might be copyable, others not. But that's not what you're seeing, is it. You're getting skips.
Sorry for the interruption - regular programming now resumes

In windows there are two sets of environment variables.
You can see them if you pull up a command prompt and type SET <enter>
To modify them it's easy enough to pull up the advanced properties (right click "My computer" or "ThisPC" or whatever its called, and select properties).
The PATH environment variable determines where the system looks before it loads the next DLL it needs (also the next program you ask for).
-
It depends where the source disk was recorded. If it's an original recording, you will be able to make a first generation copy. This does NOT apply to anything sent to an MD via USB, which is *by definition* considered a copy.
-
You won't be able to copy from one MD to another by TOSlink in the majority of cases. This is SCMS in action.

you gotta put the python libraries in your path, surprised the install didn't do that. Meaning, alter your path to have the python libraries in it so that when you call DLLs that are relevant, they get loaded.
-
I'm not up to grappling with Python right now. But it struck me there might have been a performance reason why they took it out. We know the deck-based NetMD seems unusually slow. Maybe this is why?
-
Excellent work!
Quick question: if you throw the extra handshake in to the communications stream of a device that does NOT require it, what happens? i.e. is the simplest to put that step in to ALL devices, thereby simplifying maintenance?
Not sure it's important, but special cases always end up being what drag something down.
Decks probably came before portables; is this just history, or is there a genuine need to police the state of the connection when talking to one of these decks?
-
Agree - it simply can not be the discs themselves.
-
-
All good advice. I'm thinking the problem is more than likely with poor recording by some portable, OR a badly adjusted 470. The third really weird possibility is that the 470 is not in fact a 470 but something like a 330 that someone's put in a 470 box and therefore is an SP-only machine. Did you just buy it?

Jumping in here......
The best way to access Yahoo jp is to use a service. There are at least three. I have tried 2 of them, buyee.jp and fromJapan
Beware the hidden costs. You may well end up paying roughly double the final auction price. -

All I am trying to say here is stated in the service manuals way more precisely than I can ever phrase. Deep stuff I admit, that's why I thought some "plain" explanation might be some help for those for whom an SM seems "written in Chinese". But I keep my mouth shut up then :-) .
I always regarded the SMs as if they might well be written in Hungarian. No offence to your native tongue (which does have a reputation of sorts you will admit). Maybe that's why you and your countrymen are good at fixing electronics (Elektrotanya.com is from there).

I love those Wa's - some of the most elegant of all MD's.
-
Did you remove ALL the 32-bit netmd drivers from windows\inf? Well documented. What can happen is that the 32 bit driver can reload. That would explain Freddy's observation too.
-
There's even someone with those flight cases on Ebay. Wonders will never cease.
Be careful of the super-transparent MD blanks. I have had trouble with more than one make, the TDK RXGs come to mind but I have a feeling also these particular JVCs.
-
Yeah the thing should show up with two different PIDs - one for NetMD and one for HiMD. For the latter, no drivers are required.
-
You need to follow the trsin tracks. Step one is to get rid of all 32 bit drivers for netmd.
Step 2 is to disable driver signature enforcement at next boot
Step 3 is to install NetMD760
When you say it's back to being a storage device that necessarily implies you're in HiMD mode. So at the very least you need to insert a formatted legacy MD. Better would be to switch the disc mode (menu) to NetMD/MD and insert a blank disk.
You'll get there.
-
So it works as a HiMD (the storage feature) but the NetMD function is probably impaired by Zadig.
You're going to have to uninstall the Zadig driver if you want SonicStage to work on legacy (NetMD) disks.
I think......
-
You'd better give us a summary of what DOES work.
-
It will disconnect and reconnect any time you switch from NetMD to HiMD, for one thing
For another, if USB power is not that great you may have some problems. Put a 3V Sony PS on the yellow power/charging socket and see if the problem vanishes.
Also when the "disc mode" is different from the disk just removed, or the disk just inserted is different from the "disc mode" you will hear the same disconnect/connect noises.

Sounds to me like the outputting amplifier is sending any one of 88.2,96,176.4,192 Khz sampling rate data. You probably have to find a setting on the AMP to do "PCM downsampling" or something like that, for the digital output. Most makes don't allow digital output at all. In addition you have to turn off Dolby Digital, THX, DTS, etc etc and set for plain ol' 2 channels. 5 years ago when this post was started, digital streams with high data rates were probably not as common. In addition HDCP protection is there on a lot of sound sources such as movies, bluray SACD etc.
We need some more details: the make and model, which connector (Toslink or Coax), and which MD deck (the North American decks tend to have only Toslink, whereas the Euro-decks often have a digital coax connector in place of one optical).

Alternator starting to die. Mine took years to do so. Some head units are like the canary in the mine.
YouHe/she could start by checking the voltage supply a. at the battery b. at the head unit.

NGY: I think if you post twice it may under certain circumstances combine the posts. For example when you quote 2 different posts. Not sure, though. Never tried to do it on purpose only by accident. (I think you may be able to join two of your own posts after the fact, too)
Yeah, this is getting weird isn't it.
I'm wondering about a very noisy powersupply. THOSE might degrade at the same month in history.
