@kgallen My technician used to work for Philips in South Africa, and works with multiple brands and gadgets like TVs, Reel-to-Reel, CD Decks, Tape Decks, etc etc and I know He sells portable MDs and Blank MDs. I’ll try to go there next week!

Finally got my hands on recorded MD, and it plays on my deck. But recording still not working. So might be a circuit fault, head fault or loose flappy arm? Better send to my technician!

Today I will get a recorded MD, I'll try playing. And feedback. If does play, the flappy arm will be just adjusting or I do need a new unit?

Used but blank. Not sure if I can playback without TOC writing.

Hello guys, I'm Pedro from Portugal, natural from Madeira Island but living for 20 years now in Lisbon. I grew up with music all round, K7s, Vinyl, CDs and Minidisc from my brother which had was a DJ back in the day. Recently I bought a Sony MD-S38 from portuguese auction website, they aren't audio specialists and sell from books to watches, etc - I bought has in working condition. So since I don't have any recorded MD, I bought some blank new and used from Ebay. Today I Started to record from analog input, from a Mac output. I could listen in the headphones and then started play to record and ejected to save the TOC. After ejecting, resinserted the MD and it always says its Blank Disc. I do have a trustworthy hifi technician for my repair, but I'm looking for advice from you guys - to know If I'm doing something wrong - or if it is a record problem from the TOC when ejecting? Cheers, Pedro Lopes
