Hi, I've owned a MZ-RH10 for almost 4 years now. I use it everyday for listening to mp3's, and recording rehearsals with my band. I also used it a lot in the past to tape shows I attended (around two per month over 3 years). Sometimes, I had an "Access Error" message when I tried to transfer my recordings (in PCM or Hi-SP modes) with Sonic Stage. I could not transfer directly the track, but I could still get it by the analog way, plugging the Hi-MD player in the line-in of my computer. On the corrupted track, I would then get 1 second of silence in the middle of a song. For the past 3 months, I get an Access Error for 80% of my recorded tracks. I transfer my recordings through the line-in of my computer, and the blank sections increase in number, and sometimes in length (maybe 5 - 10 seconds sometimes). And more recently, I have noticed that I also have blank sections in the mp3's I transfer from my computer the Hi-MD. I have bought a new disc, I still get the same errors. I have searched with Google to find an explanation (and a solution), apparently the laser head is not as powerful as it used to be during the writing process. It can still write the Hi-MD discs, but here and there it fails to do it correctly. Is there a way to correct this issue (cleaning the head, modify the factory) ? Thanks.
