Hi folks, 1st time on the forum. I searched for this topic but didn't find anything, so I assume this will be new information for you all. Here's a link to a website with tons of service manuals available for free download - including many Sony minidisc recorders! They also have tons of manuals for all kinds of other electronic products as well. Enjoy! Minidisc : Service manuals schematics I'm sure I'll be spending most of my tme in the live section since that's what I mainly use my machine for. Recording the band(s) and friends I play with. See you there!
