Gentlemen (and possibly ladies) I have the same problem i get the whole toc edit and it erases discs. there is something with the record head but unfortunately my warranty is devoid and to make it worse i am in africa. it is going to cost me an arm , a leg and a right testicle. I already gave away the left testicle to get the damn thing. Sony is not being a fair player in these stupid net md things. To think i passed up the first generation ipods for this heap of crud. I am the dismayed owner of the Mz-505 ......

its such a disaster. I live in South Africa I imported it at great cost. We africans always get a raw deal. I am quite pissed off. But thanks for your help. I am definitely going to try and get it fixed I will find out if it worth it. Cheers. Tmeg

If I do that then It will erase the disk. You see when it is connected to the computer it "pretends" to record something. When I try playback ... there is no sound. If I disconnect from the pc then it erases the disk and calls it blank. The same happens when I do line in recording. It "pretends" but on playback there is nothing. I am already considering the IPod sony disappointed me here. I tried playing a friends disk in my machine and it played but when I stopped it ... the disk had been erased. I think there is a software problem that is internal. I am not too sure perhaps the memory is corrupted or something. There is a "Guest something or another" his post is just below mine. He has exactly the same problem.

that is the precise problem I have! I am glad that I am not the only one. I am pissed off that the damn things do not record. I am still stumped why it is misbehaving. If you get a solution please let me know . Thank you

Greetings all. I am quite bleak with my Net MD it is a Sony Mz-N505. It wont record and erases disks unless I put in a disk that has the write protection enabled. I put it under the airport's xray because it was in my pockets and the airport people asked me to have it examined. I dont think that is what caused the error. I dont know is it possible that the recording head conked out. Is it dirty ? I am quite perturbed because i bought my MZ-n505 in january 2003. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to make it work ? Does anyone have a service manual I am quite handy with gadgets provided I have the right blueprints. Thanks
