Sony Hi-MD MZ NH900 Mic REcording Gapping Problem!

[myktm250]

hello all

i have a sony mz nh900 hi-md deck and it gets used for multiple recording situations

the last 2 shows i recorded have gaps in the recording,literally silent gaps in the waves

thers no rhyme or reason of them,they show up wherever

i was using the lithium battery and the extra AA pack too when this has happened

its not a mic issue,i've looked into taht already

i use this deck for business purposes as well so i am very concerned about this problem,now when i use it for business purposes it is always plugged in,not running on batteries

i'm presently checking the last business recording to see if it has gaps as well,so maybe this is a battery issue

the only other thing is each show i recorded i used a "used" hi-md,i did erase it but i didn't format it each time,maybe this is an issue

all help is greatly appreciated

please resond here or email me direct myktm250@nrtco.net

i need to get this problem figured out asap, cause i need the deck for business this weekend

also if anyone can reccomend any othe hi-md decks taht have a mic input taht would be great too,i need to buy another deck or 2

thanx

mike

If you are reusing the same disc it is possible that the disc may be the culprit.

You may want to test some other things, different recording modes, different discs, doing a test recording via line-in instead of mic-in... etc.

I doubt it would be a battery issue. Usually most battery issues result in a completely lost recording because the battery ends up with not enough juice to write the TOC.

hiya

yeah i'm leaning towards the md myself too

every time i do a business recording its on a new blank md

and i ahve recorded a few shows on the hi-md with fresh new blank hi-md discs and not ahd these gapping problems

and it didn't seem to make any sense leaning toward the powr supply,but honestly i was looking everywhere for answers
