boojum Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 (edited) Hi, first post, so I will try to get it right. I have a pretty new RH1 and just love it. SONY did do it right this time. The problem is that when I hit pause, and leave it in pause for an hour or more, it will sometimes start up, play for a minute or two and then give a read error. The tracks are MP3's on Hi-MD discs, and it has failed on four different discs. I talked to SONY customer support and their suggestion was to not use this feature. Dumbest support answer I have ever gotten. Like it is my fault that "pause" does not perform as it should.OK, 1) Has anyone else had this problem? 2) If you have, what was the fix??Thanks!

I don't really have the answer honestly other than maybe an opinion. Based on what you said about pausing for an hour with the unit might have something to do with it. This is maybe a default within the unit to go back at a normal state at stop after a long period of time being at paused. This perhaps to prevent the unit from being burn out from wear and tear. I have had units like VCR recorder for instance where it has limited amount of time to be at paused and just stop. So I hope that kind of explain your issue and hopefully make sense.

Sparda Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 I have a RH1, and can tell you that my atleast, automatically turns off after I pause it for like 5-10 minutes. But I don't see how you need to pause it for over an hour. Do you want it to start at the same place when you play it again? Because even if you turned it off it would start at exactly the same place where you left of from. There is an exception though, if you opened the lid then it starts again at the first track.

The Low Volta Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 the only real use for a long 'pause' I know is with all pre-HiMD units to set it at rec-pause after setting all rec-settings so at the venue you simply had to 'unpause' in stead of tampering with the menus in the dark again... but as the RH1 remembers rec settings and as sparda already said playback position as well, I must say I kinda agree with sony-support on this one (wow I honestly never would have guessed I'd once say this in my entire life) and that you are trying to use a feature that is none. I.e. pause is used for other things ... heck, with quickmode and remembering playback position I actually do not see ANY use for pause in playback (recording is something else) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boojum Posted December 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Thanks, you are right, there is no need for pause. Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
