Damn! Thanks sfbp! Could it be another issue?

Hi Barock: Thanks for the reply. I'm recording using a microphone (mic in), with a Shure SM 58 mic and standard cable. The recording bar does flucate when recording. But I haven't tried the radio as I do not have the remote and can't find the settings on the recorder itself. Oddly enough, it does play pre-recorded MDs. I'm suspecting bad play heads as per the reply in the above thread (see forum).

Hi everyone: I tried recording from my laptop, using the line in plug. I can hear the music recording through headphones plugged into the recorder and the display bar moves accordingly. But I can't get it to playback. When I push play, I don't hear anything through the headphones. And if I leave the recorder for a few seconds (and it goes to sleep) then when I return the display reads "blank disc". Anybody have any suggestions? I've used MD recorders before but I inherited this one second hand and it has me stumped.

Hi Bob! I'm using a 74 minute disk. I have a MacBook ( so I won't be using the Sony software) and I want to do field recordings with the MZ-NF810 recorder. But it doesn't seem to record. The input display bar indicates sound is being recorded but I don't hear anything in the headphones. However, it does track mark, etc. But if I shut the machine off and start it back up then it reads as a blank disc. I've looked at the mic sensitivity and set it at high. I believe the recording mode was SP. The display also reads GP1, which I assume is group 1. I'd love to get rid of that also. Any thoughts? I'd appreciate any help you could provide. I have acquired the recorder second hand and I suspect it needs to be set to the original factory settings. I also do not have the remote with the headphones.

I wonder if there is a way to restore the original factory settings...

I'm recording live using a mic (mic in port)

Hi Juan: Thanks for the speedy reply.... I'm not sure if it is set to analogue or sonicstage. How do I check that?

Hi everyone" Sorry if this isn't the spot to post questions. I didn't see another spot for my question. I've inherited a Sony MZ-NF810 recorder but can't seem to make it work properly. I think it is recording but it doesn't seem to play back. I don't have the original earphones with the remote and instead I'm using a regular pair of ear buds from the Dollar Store. Do I need the original earphones? Any help you could suggest would be great. I also need help setting or confirming the settings and basically "making it go". Thanks! Mike
