Hey, thank You all for all info, it looks like I've fixed that ;_) thnx to yours advice, I've switched cable ribbons and deck records and play! The only thing, what worries me is.I've recorded few discs already and the only problem I have is always with the first record, only when the deck is in no use for a while, the first try of recording sometimes fails. The disc I recorded of course, but skipping.then I play another disc and after a few minutes the deck works great. It looks like it needs warm up. Maybe its problem with laser power?. Besides that it works fine. Anyway I wouldn't recommend MD_JE510, the only option is SP mode? Its a joke, in this case u can actually record 1 cd to 1 md 1 , not much space left
