  1. Yamaha MD8 error codes

    in Technical, Tips, and Tricks

    Posted

    I have two Yamaha MD8 multitrackers, one works fine, the other has recently displayed  "Error 08" and the disc tray can't be opened.  Not a single key on the machine will do anything, nor does unplugging the power lead and then reconnecting. The user manual says Error XX means a "fatal error occurred, contact your Yamaha dealer". Is there anything I can try myself?

  4. C13 disc error

    in Technical, Tips, and Tricks

    Posted

    You could be right about the laser being borderline, but the deck (which is 13 years old but has only had light use) has no other symptoms to suggest this. It plays and records all discs perfectly, and it reads all TOCs as long as there is a TOC to read - the problem is strictly getting it to give a 'blank disc' TOC to a virgin disc - once it has initially done that it will always read that disc subsequently with no problem.

    Recently I found a trick which doesn't always work, but may increase the probability of C13 not appearing: before inserting the disc, press record (so the display shows AD-DA). Then insert the disc. I just tried this with a reluctant TDK MD-RXG and it failed on the first 2 attempts, but succeeded at the third!

  6. Sony MDS-JB930 Minidisc deck for sale UK only

    1. Do you still have that Sony JB930 you were wanting to sell in March 2010? I am interested , I live in the UK. Please also remind me what SP record mode is (I'm guessing it's the regular stereo record mode that is on the JB920 that I already own). (I remember from reading the JB940 reviews on the minisisc.org website that LP modes are compressed modes, correct?) If you stiil have it please email me at fharrington@live.co.uk.

  7. Sony MDS-JB930 Minidisc deck for sale UK only

    Any one here interested in buying my Sony MDS-JB930 Minidisc deck, Uk Special edition. UK offers only. It was the first minidisc I ever bought (new by the way)& was bought just before the JB940 came out. It was enough to help me realise(in retrospect) that SP mode wasnt for me so I promptly (about 2 months later ) bought a JB940 deck. I soley use LP2/LP4 modes. This deck only has SP & mono record modes.

    The deck for sale has had very little use as a result & has been packed away. Original box & remote included. It is in very very good condition. No obvious marks in the paint. I do notice if you catch the top in the light you can see see some superficial,very very faint lines, running along the top in places, possible due to a book having been on the top. To the casual eye they are lost in the black mottled surface of the top. But you would have to be looking for them to see them, they are so faint, not very deeply etched Certainly for some thing that is how many years old now, I doubt you will get a better one.

    Of course its fully working. Sorry no instructions.

    I live in London so you could pick it up, or I ll deliver if you live south of the river Thames & not too far east or west, otherwise postage would be needed on top of any price agreed.

    Offers please to me. I will keep this open for 2-3 weeks before I think about Ebay.

    feel free to ask any questions.

  8. C13 disc error

    in Technical, Tips, and Tricks

    Posted

    I have always had problems with brand new TDK MD-RXG discs in the Sony MDS-JB920 deck. Often, if not always, the "C13 disc error" is displayed and the disc ejected. Re-inserting the disc SOMETIMES works, but with a recent pack of brand new discs it has not. Does anyone know a trick to overcome this? If not, I may have to abandon the MD-RXG discs and look for a blank disc that doesn't have this frustrating tendency.
