MZ-N1 stuck in TOC Edit.

No controls work and eject is jammed.

Powering unit down allows normal operation but unit is not saving tracks properly.

Recording band rehearsal with mic.

Recorded 7 tunes pushing pause in between each.

Unit jammed in TOC Edit 3 times. Powering down restored operation each time.

In the end, only 3 of 7 tunes were saved.

Can anyone please help with this? I got this unit recently on E-Bay and fear it is junk. Could it be the actual disc?

Does "powering down" mean removing the battery? The MZ-N1 is known to have issues (expecially the early-run production models) with the ribbon connector to the optical block (recording mechanism) as it often disconnects ; if that's the case, your eBay purchase is stuffed. You can try another disc, but that doesn't seem to be your problem.

I would say...stuffed at this point. I tried a new disc and both LP and LP2 modes. LP produced more frequent TOC Edit jams and LP2 produced drop outs every 5 to 20 seconds. I guess asking the seller if all functions work is not detailed enough. Rats!

Know of any fully functional units for sale?

Powering down means: Removing the A/C and opening the Battery door. Oh, did I mention the rechargeable battery doesn't hold a charge either?

Sadly, you got hosed by a seller over at eBay. Time for some not-so-good feedback. Check the FS forums here and over at the Audio T-Board - there is a regular named Valder who is trying to sell an orange RH10.

Here is the thread I was referring to: http://www.audiotstation.com/forum/showthread.php?t=33266

You may be better served to get a new RH1; it's about the only new portable MDR you can still buy.

Thanks you so much. The seller may actually give a refund of some sort. I might save up and get an M-Audio digital rather than a MD. Opinions?
