All I did was try to record something from streaming online radio. I am pretty sure it has nothing to do with the fact that now I can't record anything with it... I had the MD connected to my computer (comp line out into MD line in, and then the md line out into my stereo system line in), and I did hear the whole show, so the audio did go through the MD unit. After the show I tried listening to it (To edit out the stuff I didn't need), and all I had was like 5 minutes of the show, and then it was quiet, and the seconds didn't even move. like it was stuck on something. I tried a few other times, and it failed to work. later I just recorded the show on my comp directly, and when I was done editing it down to that specific song I wanted, I tried recording it onto one of my "various artists" MD. it wasn't blank. the recording didn't work at all, and after it was done I couldn't listen to any track on the MD. When I took it out and back in again, it stated it was a blank disc. I guess the recording damaged the TOC. I tried several times later recording stuff on blanks, and nothing cought on. it just keep saying they are blanks afterwards. I also have an older MZ-R35 unit which served me well once, and it has the same problem - one day, out of the blue, it stops recording. Every time it took the unit just under 2 years to die on my like this. Is there anything I can do about it? Thanks for your help.
