condenser Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Hi. I've had my MZ-RH1 unit for more than a year now. I have been experiencing some weird issue:Sometimes when the unit is off and I want to play anything the unit is "dead" doesn't matter if I insert a disc, if I open the lid, if I remove the battery and then put it back in... nothing.The only way to make it work is plugging it into the computer. Then after 5 seconds I can disconnect the cable and the unit works normally.I thought it was the battery but I have another one and tried switching them but nothing happened.Any ideas?thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hungerdunger Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 I've had this happen to me about three times over the last few months.Each time I've panicked a bit - ejected the battery; ejected the disc, plugged in the USB lead and so on until it eventually springs back to life, so I'm not really sure what's going on.Next time it happens, I'll try to be a bit more analytical and make a note of what I was doing before it "died" and what action brought it back to life again.

condenser Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 have you noticed that the unit resets? I mean the clock is on 01/01/01 12:00AM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzilli Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Ths happens to me as well. It only comes back to life if I plug it into the computer. No idea why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
condenser Posted July 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 from what I've seen here mz-rh1 is a very faulty unit...sony should update the firmware...too bad this might be the last MD unit available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
