I am thinking of getting a new minidisc player finally and I remember posting in the forums here last year, about November about a particular problem I had regarding the recording function on the minidisc player I had/have. The recording stopped because of the faulty ribbon cable that connects to the motherboard of the player had broken/snapped due to stress(?). I am thinking of purchasing an MZ-RH1 and my BIGGEST question is: does the MZ-RH1 suffer from the SAME problem? Does it have the SAME ribbon cable setup/layout as the Player I have? (that, as I type this, sits in a dark and cold compartment with all the original parts....) If so, then chances are, it will suffer the SAME exact fate over time as the player I currently have and I really don't wish to waste money in that fashion, seeing as minidisc players are potentially, to me, the best portable audio players out there . Thanks for any and all input.
