but wouldnt it be pretty expensive to fix most problems that occur with minidisc players?? I have a MZ-R700 too and a few months ago it stopped recording...i guess the write heads dying out or whatever..i can only play discs on it now. do I have any other options other than replacing the head to fix this? ..that would be pretty expensive wouldnt it?? a head cleaning disc wouldnt work would it? SaDeS

yeah..have u tried a different MD??....i cant see how this can be a problem with the player if it plays the first 6 songs and not the rest. maybe something went wrong when you were recording the other songs...did these songs play before??

hey...my MZ-R700 doesnt record anymore..and probably according to what most ppl have told me its cos my laser is dying out..so will turning this screw and increasing the power help me out??? ...is there any documentation about how i can do this??? tnx, SaDeS

can anything be done about my problem on test mode s???....the service manual has something called "modified data writing methods" and a "laser power check"in it..but the one i found only has it for version 1.000 and 1.100...my MZ-R700 has version 1.300....so i didnt try to do anything... SaDeS

should i even bother trying to clean the lens and stuff??.. i must say...it seems though that customer support from sony SUCKS!!...its amazingly difficult to find any contact information online and they dont have any help!! SaDeS

hi..the same thing just happened to my R700 a few days ago!!! have u found out whats wrong yet??? help me too!!! SaDeS

hi.. i have a MZ-R700..ive had it for about a year and a half and has worked fine all this time..but now suddenly..its not saving anything i record!! i was moving some songs around the other day on a disk and once i had finished it did the TOC edit thing..and suddenly it said my disk is empty! now when i try recording onto it it goes through the DATA SAVE thing in like a second and the TOC EDIT too... when i try playing the song i just "recorded" it plays nothingness and it gets stuck every few seconds and searces the disc. ive been trying to read up on whats wrong...is it that my write heads going dead???..btw...my old discs play fine..just that i cant record or edit anything!!! do i need to change my head? and how much does this usually cost??? tnx, and HELP!!!
