Hi,

I owned the Sony MZ-R50 for 5 years or more... Recently,

I try to use it to rec the music from CD device via optical cable...

Unfortunally, I can only get the message " Line In " from the LCD screen. ( That's means the

R50 did not receive any optical signal ). Before, I make sure it is working very well for optical cable. Now I have no idea why...

Is anyone who has experience for it? Any suggestion are welcome for this case. Thanks~

Ray

Yes check the connections to the line in jack. I had some dirt get stuck in there before, I cleaned it by taking an old bic pen (used) and removing the pen part (with the clear stem)

It's the perfect size for the line in jack, just place the stem into the jack until it goes no further and digital will flash on the display. This is how you can check the connections. The line/in/digital is determined by a switch not by metal conductivity.
