Sorry, could have sworn I saw a Yamaha MD forum in here but after registering I can't find it! New to MD. I found this unit and one disc in what appears to pristine condition. Fired it up today.

I have Yamaha MD4 with a 144 mb MD. shows blank data disc inserted. Recording seems fine, mono signal into channel one/group 1-3 punched/pan left/gain @11 oclock/fader at about 7 /group 1-3 monitor select. Meters show recording is taking place. After recording, as per user manual I hit "last record search" IN and playback is just flashing. When I hit play button as per directions....nothing. these leds are flashing.... as though in some standby mode.

S marker

Play led

in marker

about 30 sec later the readout jumps to 72 frames then about 30 sec later timer jumps to 2 seconds. But no meter readout.

Is this because I have a data disc?

Sorry about the newb questions.

Thanks

I Just checked the equipment browser, this deck can use data discs, or regular MD's, regular MD's are two channel, data full use. Do you have a regular SP disc you can put in and see if that works on playback? Failing that try a mono into four track and see what happens. Try PM'ing guitarfxr, I believe ha has a similar unit.

Good luck, and welcome

Bob
