MAHMO Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 The MD stopped Recording anymore!! I have a sony MDLP one, i don't remember the code of the product but i bought it like 4 years ago. It was the first of its kind to have been able to record in LP. When i start recording it cuts the music and most of what i have recorded are bits of the music and the rest is no sound. What shall i do?????

dex Otaku Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 Replacing it seems the obvious answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeriyn Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 roflmao @ dex Oi, it sounds like the magnetic write head on your R900 is dead or very very dirty. After four years I wouldn't be surprised if it were dirty. :laugh: Try, very very gently, with a lint-free cloth (the type that are made for cleaning eyeglasses and camera lenses works well for this) to clean the magnetic head on the inside of the MD unit. Conversely, if this method makes you a little nervous, you can always buy one of those MD cleaning discs. I believe there's one disc that cleans both the magnetic head and the lens. If none of this improves your recordings, than I'd agree with dex and say, it's time for a new MD unit. Three to four years of slightly above average use seems to be the general lifespan for MD units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 A cotton swab and high quality alcohol will suffice for lens cleaning as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwakrz Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 You dip a swap in high quality alcohol!!!!! I have a much better use for it :wacky: Personally it sounds like its going to be a duff record magnet or laser unit. Do a few tests with different discs etc but I dont hold out much hope. One thing you can try is turning the unit over so its face down when operating, if this seems to fix it then its the laser unit thats faulty and its not going to be worth fixing it as it costs more than a new unit with labour added.
