thanks a lot i downloaded it and followed it, now i got it fixed! however..and i qoute myself (second part is the interesting one); "update! i've now fixed the problem; it was an easy fix really, after i downloaded the servicemanual off the downloads section of this site, i disassembled the RH1 and found the sensor on the left side that regulates on/off, open/close or whatever, i tightened all the screws and that helped, but not enough, the sensor was barely touching the metalplate it is supposed to touch because of the slightly loose top lid. i made a small bracket with some tape, and slid it by the sensor so that it activated the open/close function properly when lid is closed. that's it! I must say that tightening all screws really made the md much more "in one piece" without sqeaky noises or loose panels. it was worth the effort in itself. BUT strangely and ironically I got myself a new problem when fixing the other. Now my HI-MD disks appear WRITE PROTECTED in display! Whatever the disk itself is set to. My old standard MD's don't have this problem. The HI-MD appears write protected both by menu and by sonicstage. i have no idea why, though I've heard others with the same problem? Interestingly enough, when taping the whole write protect area on the hi-md disc, it appears write protected no longer in md menu, but still in Sonicstage, can someone explain? :)"

hey! i've got the problem with my rh1 where it resets when the toplid gets touched and i thought i'd try the tips around here, that is, unassemble it and tighten all inside and outside screws. my question is, how do i unassemble it? i've now removed 7 screws, incl. three on the lid itself, the fourth one is hidden behind the rest of the casing, almost impossible to get to, am i doing something wrong? how do i get the whole thing apart?? thanks! lars.

thanks for all the tips, i'm now trying to disassemble the mz-rh1, i've removed two screws from under the player, two screws at the back, and three screws holding the top-lid together with the md-holder. the fourth one of these is impossible to get to, is this meant to be? how does one remove it? what screws inside are the important ones to tighten? btw. is the playback sound in the mz-m100 much poorer than in the rh1? the difference is the HD amp in the rh1, can someone explain to me the difference with and with out the HD amp? and, have they fixed the bad sound with mp3 on the m100, that was the case with the rh10? thanks! you're a great bunch in here

where can i get this player? i found it on ebay but where else? what stores? and, where can i get the japanes models? any online stores, or persons that can send these? impossible? thanks, lars. btw. have they fixed the bad mp3 sound problem on these players in later batches? sorry

hello all, i've used this site for info. before but now i need help with a big problem; i bought the mz-rh1 when it was totally new on the market, and have been happy with it until now. some time ago a problem appeared out of nowhere and has been there since. the problem is that when the player is on, and i lightly or more heavily touch the top-cover near the "t mark" writing, the player "reboots" at once. this happens every time i touch it, and i have to be very careful when touching, if i don't want it to reset. i thought that the problem was with some sensor that reacts when the lid opens, and found the two small "spikes" in the corner by the "display/menu" writing. i tried building up under the spikes so that the top lid would not have any friction when closed (to prevent resetting when touched) but it didn't help at all. has anyone else had this problem, or know what it's about and how to fix? thanks, lars. btw. is the lith-ion battery in the mz-rh1 proprietary and you can't get any other? and, what do i do to get all my flac albums easily over to my hi-md discs? what's the easiest way to get from flac to atrac lossless?

pls rmv
