Slooterdog Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 Hi all, I am having a strange problem with my MZNH1 which is brand new. That is to say, when I am trying to put files from my CDs onto my minidisc player using either MD Simple Burner (v2.0) or Sonic Stage (v2.1) I manage to fill the disc (1Gig) to around 20% of its capacity and then it refuses to work any more. The player itself makes a clicking noise and then gives me an "Access err" message while continuing to spin indefinately. I am unsure how I correct this issue. Is it a problem with my recorder/player or is it a software issue? I have used different discs to no avail... Please, any advice would be most appreciated. Cheers Slooterdog. Ps. I attempted to download the latest version of Sonic Stage, however it refused to fully download after numerous attempts...the first two sections are fine, but the last two fail???

Christopher Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 Welcome..:welcome: Format the disc via the unit and then try again. Where do you live, btw? Let's make sure you're downloading 2.3 from the right source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atrain Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 slooter you'd want to use the planetMG one then http://www.planetmg.com/NewProd/sony-asia/...e2.3/index.html when you register use the serial on the inside door of the NH1 if it doesn't recognise the no. try adding a zero to the front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slooterdog Posted January 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 Hey Atrain and Kurisu, thanks heaps for your assistance thus far. However, reformatting the discs has not proved successful and I am still unable to download all of sonic stage v 3.2. As I said, the first two sections download fine but as soon as the download for the "Sonic Stage add-on" gets to 1.73 Meg it stops downloading???? :wacky: I am using the link you gave me Atrain, the planetMG one...but still no good? So, what to do? I shall try to record in the old fashioned manner via the stereo and see how that goes.. I am using the Sony Hi capacity 1G discs and the Sony 80 min disc (which I will try to use with MD simple Burner now). Ps. JB, seems like a pretty good price! Cheers Slooter.

Slooterdog Posted January 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 Okay, I can successfully record directly from my CD player via an optical cable. No probs on either a 1G or 80 min disc. :smile: I can also use MD simple Burner with an 8o min disc (the unit does sound like it is struggling though, very noisy. Is this normal? I heard very little noise when recording directly from my CD player). However, I still cant use MD Simple Burner with the 1G disc and I cant download the remaining parts of Sonic Stage. Cheers Slooter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrain Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 keep trying with SS - it took me four attempts. if the hifi worked on the same disc then it's the software not your nh1 so that's good. that disc may be a coaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 What of the noise, is it usual for the unit to make a lot of noise when recording?It is a sort of a 'RRrrrrrrr RRrrrrrrrr click click click" how else to describe it? Lol. This does not occur when recording directly from the CD player!Thanks heaps for your help thus far, it has been very useful.I shall try some other 1G discs and see how they go.And I shall keep trying to download SS.Ta heaps Slooter.

Slooterdog Posted January 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 I have managed to download SS 2.3 finally, after around 7 attempts. This I did via the european site (1) and not the Asia Pacific site (2)! 1) http://www.connect-europe.com/sonicstage2) http://www.planetmg.com/NewProd/sony-asia/...SonicStage.htmlWeird, as I am in Australia.Nonetheless, this has not remedied my problem, that is, I still can not use MD Simple Burner to put music on my 1Gig discs.Confused, any suggestions most welcome. Ta Slooter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slooterdog Posted January 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 Well having spoken to Sony's IT people and their service types it turns out that the issues was with the unit itself rather than with the software. So I have swapped the unit and all is well!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
