msteeln Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Using my MZ-R50 and a blank Hi-MD disc in the/my usual method to record streamed music, with the security tab closed/recordable, the readout say's- P/B ONLY.Why, and how do you get streamed/mic'd/or? data onto the disc if it won't allow recording?Is this another "thanx a lot, Sony..." moment, or a problem with the disc, or am I blowing it somehow?Help, much appreciated!

eriktous Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 I'm sorry to say it, but unfortunately the HiMD discs are not compatible with older, non-HiMD units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaylen Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 (edited) Is this another "thanx a lot, Sony..." moment, or a problem with the disc, or am I blowing it somehow?None of the above.It's a "I should've read up on Hi-MD technology before buying a 1GB disc for my R50" moment. Just playing and welcome to MDCF. I'm not sure what your 1GB disc wrapping said, but all of mine say "This disc is only for use in a Hi-MD recorder or player that features the 'Hi-MD' logo." You could always upgrade your R50. There's an RH1 that you might like.

Sparky191 Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 If you want to get rid of that HiMD disk I'll trade you for a bunch of used standard disks that will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
