Except I don't think the JB980 is available in the US.

My intention is to use it for dance instruction. I would like to slow it down for teaching. But even for that +/- 5% is still a pretty big step. The discs I have now are NetMD creations (LP2 by default - I think) which are the ones I would like to use in this deck. The Tascam MD-CD1 aslo seems to have the same limitation (no speed control on LP2). I am also looking at the Sony MZ-B100 and the MZ-B10 for portable use. I have seen the B100 and like its speed control. But while I have not actually seen one, I am leaning toward the B10. I have never seen any minidiscs available locally, so I have to depend on what I have seen others use. Gary

I also have an NE410 and had about the same thing happen. The disc seems to be totally bad. I can't initialize either.

I am looking at a deck for use in the US. Choices are somewhat limited. I want to use it for dance instruction and would like to have pitch control. The MD-350 has pitch control but in the manual it indicates that pitch control does not work on LP2 speed. Does anyone have any experience with this? Does it work with SP and LP4? I already have some Net MD discs which (I think) will all be LP2. I am also looking at an Sony MDS-JE480 but want to know if the difference in price is worth it. Thanks
