MHoughton Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Hi. I recently bought a Sony MZ-NHF800 for field recording so I could get original samples to use in sound design work.I used it on two outings successfully, and after much faffing, managed ot get the new version of Sonic Stage that alowed me to copy .wav files to PC. It worked fine. However, now whenever I try to record, everything appears fine - mic signal is coming in, the unit indicates it is recording, but when I press stop, it says "Data Save" followed by "System file writing" which remains there with the unit trying to save the file for about 5 - 10 minutes. After this time, it says "Record error" and shuts down. When I boot up there is nothing on the disk. I've tried this with three sifferent 1GB discs. I'm recording in HiMD SP mode.Can anyone advise how to resolve this, or is it a fault that I need to get fixed under the UK/EU statutory 1 year warranty?Thanks in anticipation for your advice...

The Low Volta Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 you could always try a standard 80min disc or recording/downloading from PC to see if it makes any difference... but if I were you, I'd get this thing back to Sony ASAP and wouldn't settle for anything less than a complete (and free) repair or an upgrade (NH900 or RH10)... the machine shouldn't be doing that under any circumstance IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrius Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Yup. If it's not the disc, then the recording block or one of the ribbon cables that send info to it must be going the way of the dodo. You still have your warranty, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
