iveoles Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Hi there I'm new to the forums and I have a huge problem with my disc. I was transfering some songs over to my minidisc and suddenly sonicstage froze halfway through and didn't transfer all my songs. After putting the dic into my brothers player i found that some songs have been transfered but others hadn't. Here comes the problem, the player i was using to transfer will now not work. When I turn it on I get the spinning disc icon and you just search through track numbers with nothing playing and no timer or title appearing. Is there anything I can do to solve this?? Are there any factory defaults I can check via the service menu?? Thanks alot guys Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher666 Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Hi, Have you tried removing the battery for a couple of hour's? This should re-set the player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Welcome to the forums, ive. You may want to make sure it's not a software issue. Try these: How to properly reinstall NetMD: WARNING: If you use a Sony VAIO with preinstalled software provided by Sony or use other software developed by Sony, do not follow the procedure below. 1. Uninstall all OpenMG related software via the Add/Remove Programs control panel and reboot as necessary. This includes, but is not limited to, OpenMG 2.2, related 'Limited Patches' and the 'Secure Module', SonicStage 1.x/2.x, Simple Burner 1.x/2.x, and software by RealNetworks. Make sure that you unplug your unit before doing so. 2. If you run Windows XP/Windows 2000 Professional, proceed to delete the following directories: "Documents and SettingsAll UsersApplication DataSony Corporation", "Program FilesCommon FilesSony Shared", "Program FilesSony". 3. Start -> Run -> regedit. The 'Registry Editor' utility should appear on your screen. Delete the references to OpenMG located under 'HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareSony Corporation' and 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareSony Corporation' by right-clicking on the entries. 4. Disabling any anti-virus software that is running in the background to free up some resources [if necessary]. Update your installation of Windows at Microsoft Windows Update (windowsupdate.microsoft.com). For Windows 2000 Professional users, you are recommended to upgrade to Service Pack 3 or later. Make sure that your unit is disconnected and install the latest build of SonicStage 2.x from Sony Connect/Sony Connect Europe. The drivers for Sony units will automaticaly be installed. (If you use a Panasonic or Sharp Hi-MD/NetMD unit, install your drivers before you install the actual software!) Restart if prompted to do so; if not, it is still recommended that you do so. Plug in your unit, and start SonicStage 2.x. A Windows Hotfix (KB840987) conflicts with Omgjbox.exe - if you are experiencing problems and do not need the functionality of the Hotfix, rollback the fix.

Christopher Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 The only way I know how to do it, save some searching, is http://www.minidisc.org/sony_mzr_reset.html . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
