Thanks for kind replies. It does have a Digital Line-In and has a fibre optic cable. I tried recording on to the MD using SP-Mode on Sonicstage which took absolutely AGES to copy across, but it still didn’t work. Literally put it in the headunit, it tries to read it for a second then spits it back out again – very frustrating!!! Looks like I’m going to have to buy a new headunit or just use CD’s for the time being. Annoying as I bought a Minidisc portable recorder especially to record Minidiscs for my car! Car is lowered so CD’s tend to JUMP a lot on bumps etc. Might prowl eBay for a selection of various Minidiscs some with music on etc just to try out if they work in my car. Once again, thanks for your help guys – much appreciated.

Does play bought CD's, also managed to play some other copy CD's I just tried but some are fuzzy and others it plays fine but some tracks it won't and it will stop playing the music altogether if it gets upset haha. When you say manual you mean the one I posted up for my car head unit? If so, thanks for looking and I wish I knew Japanese. Is there a way around this? ie burning to Minidisc via USB which makes it only ATRAC? If not, what other procedure do I need to use? Perhaps burning a CD off, playing it on a HiFi and recording it that way? If so, what is the step by step on how to do this? Thanks very much. Also, any recommendations on what blank CD-R's to use? It doesn't run Maxell's well at all nor Imagination.

Still no god damn luck with this! Even burning CD's I can't get right so they play on the head unit. I want to know what I'm doing wrong. /puzzled.

Took bloody ages to burn but no success! Going to try a different method it gives me in "burning" options.

Hi mate, I'm using SonicStage and just changed setting to SP, so will see if this works or not! Fingers crossed.

Is your Japanese any good? lol http://www.kenwood-service.com/imdl/car/B64-1043-00.pdf That's the manual - there's a Minidisc section - most in Jap tho!

Hi thanks for the reply!!!! What options does Sonic Stage offer me to make sure the MD is compatible with older units / head units??? It is recorded via USB on to a Sony NET MD player/recorder. I did not change any options when installing Sonic Stage, just simply burnt it with the standard options.

Just another thing to add – could multi-session burning have anything to do with this??? I have read a few CD problems where users are using multi-session burning and not closing the CD off properly. Do MD’s do this too? TIA.

Hi it’s the DPX-710 MD cheers. Really frustrating as I understand some head units don’t like copy CD’s, but didn’t realise they would have an issue with copy MD’s using the Sonic software Sony supply. Just wondering if there is a “special” way of uploading music on to MD (or CD for that matter!) which enables head units to read the data without spitting it out. Many thanks for your help in advance.

Hi guys, after my head unit won't play copy CD's, I decided to try out minidiscs and it spits out minidiscs as well! Any idea??? It's a Kenwood double din head unit which supports minidisc + CD, but it obviously doesn't like the ones I'm putting in which are Sony Premium 74's. Any advice/ideas to get minidiscs working on the head unit? Any kind of encoding technique? Cheers.
