I've just bought a MZ-NH700 nad my son was about to buy one when I discovered that recording to the mini-disc from the computer using Sonicstage 3.3 to a standard mini-disc only occurs in LP mode. Thus one of my resons for buying teh recorder is negated. I record aweekly radio programme and need to reord it on Mini-Disc in normal mode not LP. This is because the stations players only support normal. Even if they supported LP I would not record my programme in that mose. It seems that I can only continue dubbing in real-time to my Mini-Disc deck. I also found when recording from a microphone I could not get the recorder to work in normal Mini_Disc mode only LP unless I alraedy had a trrack in normal mode. I alos find it incredible that discs recorded via analogue in on older mini-discs (or Net MD)cannot be transferred to the computer via teh USB port. Again these will have to be transferred in real time form my old deck. It's no wonder this foramt didn't ctch on, Sony has made it as awkward as possible to use. Pity I bought somany discs with my unit. Webbphonic
