Like you i tried doing it on the remote with my JE-440 and JB-930 but just comes back on 10 mins later.So i thought i'd try on the front panel but i've only got "clear" and no "stop" there,i did try holding the "clear" and the suare stop button at the same time but still comes back on after 10 mins.

Thanks for the info.I have a query about recording vinyl from my turntable to the 930 as in how do you do it. On the back of my turntable there's only left and right phono's which go to a pre amp and then into the back of the amp. Was wondering if there was a way with only 2 phono's on the back of the turntable. Just noticed you've got a 980,is this one the top banana of the MDS.

From the local trash generator for 20 quid but no remote with it, but i discovered my JE-440 will operate it. What i'd like to know is does the 440 remote cover everything that the 930 can. I've tested it and it seems to work flawlessly,and a big plus is being able to connect a keyboard. Also having 2 digital ins and 1 out plus coax in and out is fantastic. I do have a question about the coax,when i connect a coax from coax in on the 930 to coax out on my Sky hd box i get the old dinunlock c71.Is this Sky stopping me recording the audio? I've also sent off for a generic 440 remote from these people, thought the link might be handy if anyone is after a remote.http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005S5GKTW

I just checked out the audio settings on the PS3 after your suggestion and it had some how changed itself from digital out back to hdmi which i had set to digital out when i did the first successful digital recording. So it had defaulted itself back to hdmi or i might have changed it back by accident without realizing it.Thats the reason why the digital signal was being blocked. So i changed it back to digital out and did a test recording (Rubber Soul The Beatles the latest remastering) and it recorded it but no source audio was coming through,so went back to PS3 audio settings and enabled multi audio out and source audio is working and digital recording is working fine. I think the problem with the blu-ray player must in the audio settings aswell,i have'nt checked it out yet. I have a question can i record from the PS3 and the blu-ray player to the minidisc player useing a 3 way optical splitter.Which would eliminate haveing to swap cables. Thanks for all your help during my troubled time.I feel like an anvil has been lifted off my head.

Yes first digital recording done 3 days ago.PS3 has latest update and the red light appears in the socket and at the end of cable from PS3, and blu-ray player. Trying to make optical recording from PS3, minidisc player shows "C71/DinUnlock". Trying to make optical recording from Samsung Blu-ray player,minidisc player shows "C41/Cannot Copy". Trying to make optical recording from PS3 to MZ-N520 walkman shows "No Signal"

On the 440 i press the input button on the remote and i have the choice of choosing analogue in or digital in and after choosing digital in it shows D-IN on the lcd. Just tried the cd that i originally did a digital recording with and it still shows C71/DinUnlock. CD end of the connections are the PS3 and Samsung Blu-ray player/cd player. I don't know what effort to focus on,they both work perfectly. I must be making a mistake but i just don't know what it is. Optical cable is going from the optical out on the back of the PS3 to the optical in on 440, and optical out from the blu-ray player to optical in on the 440,is this correct? The amp i've got is the Sony DH520 which has two opticals in one for sat/cab and one for tv.

Ah! the old human error namely me.I would stake my life on it,that i made a digital recording as i remember seeing the D for digital on the lcd and also i remember setting the record level to 00 db which is perfect for a digital recording if i had it set to this level doing an analogue recording it would have been far to low and would have to be set to at least 3.5 db.

I've run out of eliminations or as they say all avenues have been exhausted.My only conclusion after useing three different devices,and different optical cables is that the optical signal is being blocked by copyright.I've no idea what to try next.

Yes it was the first one that originally worked.Maybe Sony thought when they made the MDS-JE440 lets put a digital optical in connection in the back that does absolutely nothing.

I have the minidisc walkman MZ-N520 that i have tried to make an optical recording that fails and shows "no copy" and then "no signal" Someone said that if you convert a cd to wav filles, and then burn to disc and then record it from your device to your minidisc player and you will be able to do a digital recording,well i tried this and all i get is C71/Dinlock.

Thanks for the reply.The first successfull digital copy via optical cable would not record at the second attempt as would no other cd. Theres no problem doing analogue recordings.In all my years of buying cd's i've only ever come across 1 cd that was encripted. I'm gonna check out Bluecrab.

I just successfully recorded a cd from my PS3 via the optical cable,but when i tried to copy another cd i get "C71/Din Unlock" then it stopped and it just flashes din unlock for a split second but won't record anything. So i tried again this time useing my Samsung cd player again useing an optical cable but all that will show is "cannot copy". I know there is some weird "Serial Copy Management System".But why is it stopping me recording a different cd that i've never recorded before. I just tried another angle,and used a 3.5 optical adapter on my minidisc walkman and tried again to do an optical recording from the PS3 and from my cd player. This time the walkman says "no copy"then a while later shows "no signal". All cables and devices have no faults,and i've tried 4 different optical cables and about 10 different cd's. I'm on the verge of giving up before i have another one of my breakdowns. Would be eternally gratefull if someone had a solution to this problem.
