I am really lost and can't tell if my player is working. I fully charged it to get that problem out of the way. I am using the remote and do not see anything in the display. I don't have a pre-recorded MD and need to check out my recorder quickly so I know it is in working order. The first thing that it instructions say is to switch the group mode. I do not see any indication on my recorder that I am in or not in group mode. HELP!!! I plugged my player into my CD player but unplugging my CD from my receiver and inputing the cord from CD to MD and pressed the record button, no recording light..... Nothing.... I do it similarly using my mic and do not see how to adjust the recording level...the group button... the mode... and it powers down. HELP!!!! Nothing.... Thanks!!!! :evil: :x
