zzzuppp Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 My Sony MZ R501 has lately developed some worrying problems.First up it stopped recording properly,seeming as if it WAS recording,but on PB there's nothing there and it grinds away on 0.00 without moving.Sometimes it will record one track,but on reinsertion won't record any further.However in the last day or two it's got even worse.One disc I was adding a track mark to,another where I erased a single track,have both been erased completely.Oddly enough they continued to work after I did the trackmark/erase,but after I took the discs out and reinserted them,they were blanked.A third disc I tried to record on now says ERROR when I insert it.I've tried these discs on another player and they have indeed been blanked/ERRORed.The unit still PLAYS MDs without any problem.Can anyone help? It's out of warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superbaldguy Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Sounds like the overwrite head is cooked and the unit is a dead duck. Time to look at one of the Hi-MD models, I'd suggest the NH700 if you still want to use a budget recorder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
