It plays via usb but no chance using SonicStage. It has option Network - NetMD or Network - USB.

Found only this. Device USB\VID_054C&PID_0101\6&142ea561&0&2 was not migrated due to partial or ambiguous match. Same numbers VID and PID are for for LAM-10 in NETMD760.

I didn't find it. Sony had similar unit LAM-Z10 but also no service manual available. Second problem driver for windows 10 64 bit where to get.

Anyone has service manual? I recently bought this lovely unit and have problem with sliding front ( seller didn't pack it well!!!)

On my computer it works. Try to turn on/off admin rights.

After last cleaning 8 days gone and it is still working, cleaning makes wonder . Question is why put grease if Sony doesn't mention about it in service manual? While recovering first unit (changing parts from one to the other) I damaged laser and flexible connector PC Board in second one. So I put the "bad" laser which was replaced 2 years ago and it works without any problem. A serviceman was so confident he knew what to do but I am 100% sure that it was unnnecessary to change it , only cleaning would do the job. I won't go there to ask for laser adjustment, maybe I don't need it if it is an old laser form the same machine and works. What do you think?

I made mistake should be 33 mm 1,2 x 1,2 mm.

My last efforts with grease didn't help it stopped working again. Yesterday I disassembled loading unit. Checked all gears around laser. All looked like new, no signs of worn, cleaned all grease. Put it back and it works (no parts left ). Question for how long. The only difference I noticed is that now it works much more quiet. maybe engine for disc rotating is weak - M101 A-4672-475-A MOTOR ASSY, SPINDLE - Mabuchi 11H WU5 in second MDS-JA333ES was Mabuchi 11H US4 maybe engine for laser moving is also weak - M102 A-4672-474-A MOTOR ASSY, SLED - Mabuchi RF-300C-11440

Good to know, thx Kgallen.

Didn't know what I could do to repair it so I put some Silicon+PTFE grease on main shaft (laser travells along it) and on gears which move laser. Now it works just wonder for how long. I noticed in service mode if you do traverse check (EF MO CHECK) you could move laser using arrow buttons (below digital rec control.)

I like to have manual if available.

The seller claims that he has English manuał i asked him about scan but no answer. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/273892498034?ViewItem=&item=273892498034 here is English translation And my X-B7.

I had the same error. Uninstalled, cleaned registry and installed again.

AMS knobs mostly die as a result of mechanical damge. I had same problem with my CDP-XA555ES during transport.

I think this is original one you are looking for https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rotary-Encoder-genuine-Panasonic-Japan-30-detent-w-push-switch-N-O-USA-genu/173848280873?hash=item287a2a3f29:g:1LMAAOSwKLZclrwq

I have silimar problem with my MDS-JA333ES. Two years ago it had replaced laser because of C13 error. ( now I think it was not necessary) After laser exchange I didn't use it. But a month ago I started use it and C13 happend. Loading tray works normal no strange sounds. If I remove top cover and gently push down minidisc inside it starts working for about week. Then again C13 so I open top cover push minidisc and works fine. What could be the problem.? Loading tray seems to me ok but I could one more time disassembly it.

Only one? there are more releases, but I wanted that one.

I just bought new MD, and I like it. Would be nice to have own pritner and print on minidisc labels.

I would like to buy MD but it is sold out. Wonder what was the price. At the Discogs for 60E now...

I was missing this website too.

Check connectors which are accessible from the bottom, under loading tray. Once I forgot to put it back and symptoms were quite similar to your case.

I would check all connectors, flat wires if not broken.
