hi all I picked up this MD recorder as it was thrown out along with a sony cd player outside of a house in Berlin. People do this all the time here. Anyway, it had a disc in marked "2005" which played perfectly! I bought some discs (still widely available in Germany), and am using the playing to take care of our backing tracks, first gig on Sat 15th June http://www.myspace.com/azulinberlin I just wondered, as I've not delved too deeply into it yet, anyone have a pdf of the manual? I'm succesfully recording digitally from my mac, giving great results, but what's the function of the AMCS button? And LIVESYNC? is that something works together with other Onkya kit? Thanks in advance Steve
