Tr Protect msg

[bluecrab]

Hello,

I recently acquired a bunch of Net-MD-recorded MDs, quite a few of them.

When I tried to erase one on my MXD-D400 deck, I received a "Tr Prot" message.

This turned out to mean that the downloaded NetMD tracks can't be erased by the deck.

My workaround was to haul out my old S-39 non-NetMD deck and erase the disc on that. This of course did work, the S-39 unit knowing nothing at all of NetMD.

That is an OK workaround and I have two other units I can use to accomplish the same task, but what I really want to know is if there isn't some way to force the MXD-D40 (or my MXD-D40 or MDS-JB940) to do the erase.

Thanks!

=============

I am following up to my earlier post. It seems that the MDS-JB940 does NOT have this issue with NetMD-created discs, it's only the MXD-D400. I don't know why this is so, because neither deck is NetMD capable.

So it turns out to be pretty much of a non-issue for me, since I can use the 940 to erase NetMD discs.

If only Sony would make a Hi-MD deck!!
