Levanel Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 .. when it loses it's NetMD functionality? This is what I have and I have to go back to making digital recordings via optical toslink. Then again, the new slim PS2's that have the optical outputs restrict on copying (on my N10, it gives a "NO COPY" message) and the only recourse is for me to burn an audio CD and record via my CD player (which turns out also has an optical output). This is like a step back in time, like a pre netMD system. And before this time, I use to record happily via USB .. now I'm left with 2/3's of my MDs that I can't erase manually (it gives the "TrPROTECT" message). I suppose only a handful of people have this sort of problem, as it tremendously becomes an annoyance than an inconvenience. Any way around this other than sending in my unit for servicing? My warranty is already expired .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levanel Posted November 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 What error occurs when you try to employ NetMD functionality?It won't sync with my PC via USB anymore, no "PC-> MD" message on the LCD. It only shows when I unplug it from the USB/cradle but for a brief moment, less than a second. PC won't recognize the device (there's no indication in WinXP's Device Manager that the recorder is connected at all). I called up Sony's Support hotline on this, and they gave me the usual basic troubleshooting (ie: is the cable firmly plugged in, are you low on battery juice -- all that BS). At the time, SonicStage 1.5 was enough, but I had the drivers reinstalled to observe any change in the broken netMD functionality .. nada. Not even SS 3.2 alleviates this problem. (and yes, I installed SS before connecting the unit. There was a cute blue tag on the USB cable that said just that: "install software before connecting") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Did you reinstall via the directions in the FAQ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own a MZ-N10 minidisc and for the last month I haven't been able to transfer any music via SonicStage. When connected the minidisc doesn't show the PC-MD sign on its display. After I remove it from the cradle it shows PC-MD for one second. I tried to uninstall the software but still the same problem. Can you please give me a hint? I will go as far as reinstalling windows xp for this:) Also after I remove the player from the cradle it shows PC-MD every time I press a button. I cannot operate the unit unless I reset it...using the on-off battery switch.Please note that I have upgraded from the SonicStage version that came with the player to the new Sonic Stage version.
