He used the one I've been having an issue with. Bingo. It displayed song titles, began playing, able to skip over to next track, etc. I haven't a clue in the owrld why it worked for him, but will not work for me. I have tried several different discs and it is the same issue. Now, I just took the battery out of it and sat it in the AC cradle and popped in the same disc. And it worked. I unplugged it, popped the battery back in and pressed the play button and currently it works. But it keeps going back and forth. I'm almost afraid to press the stop button for fear that the damn thing will decide to not work again. This is so confusing. And Sony claims to not have any service centers in my area (central NJ) to look at it.

The other minidisc recorders I have all work fine with the software/computer I use to copy music with. It's the actual minidisc unit itself that is an issue. To just show how strange it all is, I just went to a local Best Buy store and asked a clerk who is familiar with recorders, etc to take a look at the unit. He put the minidisc in and wouldn't you know, the damn thing actually worked? Then when I walked out of the store and put the disc in, it did the same thing as it did prior to going there. Now it isn't working again. frustrating.

Hi all, I'm new to the forum but have been using several different minidisc models over the past 5 years. Srce, I just bought the same recorder/player new thru ubid and am experiencing pretty much the same thing. I put a prerecorded disc that I had recorded on my 505 and it will not play. However, as you seem to have experienced, my disc appears to keep spinning and will not stop doing so until I remove the battery. I set it up according to the manual to no avail. I even tried to record on a clean disc per instructions from Sony online tech support and it would not allow me to record. Sony had no answer for me other then to say I should ship the unit out to their exchange center in Larado Texas for a new one. Can anyone at all here explain what might be wrong with these units or what I may be doing wrong? thanks.
