WaywardTraveller Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 So I thought I'd share this recent surreal episode I had with my RH10.Just tonight I wanted to check out some 352kbps archival recordings I made. Dug out the RH10, took out the old album (a NetMD NoMeansNo collection) and put in the Hi-MD (a Music Of Islam album).Now check this out...I press play, and what do I see on the RH10 display screen? ALL the data for the NoMeansNo song I was last listening to! Now, this is weird...but it was far, far weirder that the NoMeansNo song was playing through the headphones, even though the Music Of Islam disc was in the unit!!!!!.I pressed stop and took out the MoI disc. Looked out the window to check for flying pigs, pinched, then punched myself to make sure I was awake. Yep. Went back, put in the MoI disc once again, and now everything is playing just fine and has been ever since.Now, my theory is this: since I dropped it a little while back a small piece of plastic inside the battery slot has broken off. Everything still works perfectly, except that I need a little piece of tape across the latch to make sure the battery connectors stay in place. Perhaps the NetMD was still buffered somehow in the unit, and maybe some power blip or lapse in connection caused the unit to just play the buffer instead of reading the new disc? Maybe the fact that the first disc was NetMD and the other was Hi-MD had something to do with it? Since all is well now I'm not concerned...just wondering if anyone else had had such strange experiences?peaceWaywardTraveller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akijikan Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Yeah, it was the buffer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e1ghtyf1ve Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Yeah, others had similar experiences. I haven't timed it, maybe 40 secs on that buffer? Zombie MD! Pretty funny...Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrazyIvan Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 I know it has happened with my R900. I noticed that it happens when you eject a disc without pressing stop first. The first time it happened to me I freaked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
