Ok guys, I take you words. Myself I wouldn't mess with the unit either unless there is no way out. I'll try a few more cycles with the Pisen battery and I'll see what is the next step. The contacts on the unit's battery door seem ok I can't see what is on the bottom. But the Sony battery looks clean so I wouldn't worry about dirty contacts. Thank you for you help will come back with some resutls

Hi, where and how can I do those adjustments on my NF810? What sould be the values? Thank you

Ok, how can I readjust my NF810? I suppose I need to download the service manual and then...? Hi Jim, the GP charger is a simple one: does not have a display showing the current but has a LED which goes from red to green when the battery is fully charged. I tried only once the Pisen battery but IMO it should perform better for the first shouldn't it?! I'll trly a few more cycles and come back. Another thing came into my mind: maybe if I leave the battery inside the unit it constantly pulls a very tiny current from the battery? Just a thought... Thank you

Hi all, I've bought a "Pisen" gumstick for my MZ-NF810 because the Sony gumstick didn't hold the charge longer than a single day even if I didn't use it. The unit's charger won't charge the Pisen because of I don't know... So I went for a GP gumstick charger (couldn't find a Pisen charger) but it is almost the same. It won't last longer than three days maybe half an hour use each day. What is going on? Where can I get a working battery? Thank you

I use the Ni-Mh battery inside the main unit. Will clean contacts and come back. Thank you

Hi all, I got an MZ-NF810 unit and I really like it. The only one problem is, that the radio won't turn on. Among all attempts it comes up about 5-10% only. If press the radio button on the remote (after all messages cleared on the display as per the user manual, battery fully charged) the main unit clicks once and I hear some very low volume hiss from the headphones. After 10 secs the unit clicks again and after 10 sec again. That goes on a few times and that's it. When it works, the radio comes on immediately. Has anybody came across anything like that? Thank you

I am sure it is not the tuner. This is an olschool Akai AT-2400 one. The noise is not audable when I am not recording from the tuner. The interconnect cable is a 200 GBP Chord piece 1m. Shorter is better.

Hi MD lovers! I am trying to record jazz sessions form my analogue tuner but there is a periodical hiss noise during recording and playback. MD deck is a Sony MDS-JE500 machine. If I move the deck away from the tuner the noise becomes quiter. If the deck is in the top of the tuner noise is quite audiable. What is this? I can't move the deck too far away the interconnect cable is only a meter long. Why the deck is broadcasting this noise. FM antenna on the tuner is coaxial cable running up into the attic. Thank you Regards

Hi gents, thank you for all of you for your technical help I think I'll go for a 810. It looks perfect for my application. Thank you Regards

Thank you for the quick reply. Which one is the best sounding from your list?

Hi all, after browsing the fleabay for a walkman now I know what I want. I would put a small list here of my preferences if you could tell me which MD Walkman meets with this all. Hopefully I don't want too much -good sound quality (will record with MDS-JE500 deck from analogue tuner and turntable and add later some very good headphones) -FM radio remote -NetMD capable (will transfer mp3 lessons from PC to walkman) -equaliser or bass and treble set -remote backlit (not a must but preferred) Is there a walkman like this existing? Unfortnately I don't have the budget for an MZ-RH1... Thanks

It is the MZ-NF810 walkman. Thank you

Hi, I am just wondering what kind of USB cable is needed between an NetMD Walkman and a PC. The PC end is no quiestion but what about the walkman end? Thank you Regards

Thank you for all of your comments folks I am a bit wise now. I think I'll stick to MD because I simply like this format. After compact cassette it was heaven!!! Hopefully a last question: when I transfer my .mp3 files from PC to Atrac can I do it in LP mode to save some space on the disc? P.s.: I use still the good old Win XP

This shouldn't be a problem in my case because what I want to listen on the walkman is not music it is some lessons quality doesn't matter too much. How quick/slow is transferring mp3 files to Atrac in general?

I thought all NetMD walkman models are capable to receive .mp3 files from a PC and play those files back. Is that true? I keep my MDS-JE500 deck to record sessions from my analogue tuner I don't want to go on that to NetMD or HiMD.

Hi all, my beloved MD Walkman passed away so it is time to get another one. This time I want a better one and I would like to transfer .mp3 files to minidisc. What kind of MD Walkman should I look for? NetMD, HiMD or MDLP? These formats are new for me I can record only in standard MD format at the moment with my Sony MDS-JE500 deck. Thank you for your help Regards

The deck plays and records fine with the brand new disc. How can I format a disc? "Erase all?" ??

Hi all! A few days ago a cleaned the dust from the top of my Sony MDS-JE500 deck and started to listen again my discs. The discs were untouched about 6 or 7 years. I was happy to hear the old tunes recorded mainly from CD and radio. Quaility is good as always. But! I tried to record again from radio and here is what I did: I deleted a few tracks to make some free space and recorded the wanted session. Recording went fine, TOC saved. During playback the new tracks, here is the problem. There is no sound at all only the digital VU meter clicks up to the maximum in every 5 seconds approx. Also tried to delete the entire disc: after recording and saving the TOC: disc error, the disc become unusable without content. Bought a brand new blank disc yesterday: no problem with playback or recording absolutely flawless. Here is the question: what happened to my discs? Are the faulty? All of them? Hard to beleive. Different brands (TDK, Sony, etc), different sizes (74min, 80 min). There were not stored in a dusty place or near to big magnets of on direct sunlight. The deck is in a very good shape as well. This would mean that Minidisc hasn't got a long lifespan? I am confused here... Please help with your comments if you could Thank you

Thank you so much on your comments, I'll try that guy on e-bay

Hi all! This is my first post here... I own a nice black MZ-E33 walkman but I have a problem with it. During listening it it stops randomly (but normally a few minutes) after started to listen a disc. On the remote the disc indicator still showing "spinning" but no sound. I have to eject the disc and re-load to listen again. It happens even when the unit is on the top of my desk steady I mean I am not jogging or jumping with it. Also the unit was never dropped it still looks like brand new spotless. I have downloaded the service manual of it but so far I didn't dare to do anything to it. I thought myself I ask the experts here first What is this? The lens looks clean... Thank you in advance Regards
