I've got new issues regarding the Mz-R700, fellow list members. Nowadays, whenever I press the + or - volume button, the music is interrupted. Could this be a symptom of misalignment of the optical block, as pointed out earlier by Syrius? If so, is there someone in Asia who can fix this? Thanks.

Hmmm...now that youve brought that up, I guess that's a likely explanation as any. Problem is, aside from my unit being a Sony, I still have to successfully set this into service mode. I've been trying to put MZ-R900 features into my MZ-R700 for the longest time. Fortunately, so far, it hasn't conked out on me while recording, which is the more important aspect of having this as an MD. Thanks.

Thanks for your informative replies, txgitarman, SlowMo, and Kurisu. Just ran 6.6 k and it skipped on me again. Anyway, I've read somewhere that, if one can help it, one should have a separate MD for recording. Thanks again.

Hi Kurisu: Thanks for replying. I only use a couple when I run because the music on these few discs makes me more energetic. Anyway, most, if not all of these few discs skip or even totally stop at some point during my run. I do have a few theories which I hope you could comment on. First, and this is icky, some sweat may have seeped in my MD and this may have caused it to malfunction. Second, the cover doesn't close as tightly as it should whenever there's an MD inside. Third, which may be logical but improbable, is that some of the buttons may have been pressed while I'm running. But then again, I always run with the hold button enabled. What do you think? I love my MD such that I'm willing to buy another one, either for playing music or recording interviews. I'm a reporter you see, and I have more than once caught many dumb government officials on my MD saying stupid things. The MD indeed is a good insurance vs libel. Sorry for this long reply.

Hi All: Whenever I run with my MD, it has stopped and skipped during playback more than I ever cared to remember. As someone who appreciates listening to uninterrupted music, this is definitely irritating. What do you think caused this and what should I do to avoid it in the future? Thanks.
