Strungup Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Well if your RH1 is going bad I have one for sale that hasnt been used very muchPM me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avrin Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 (edited) DO NOT format, or else there won't be any chance to recover the recording (not that there is a great chance now). Does the RH1 read the disc? Edited November 1, 2007 by Avrin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the RH1 read the disc?No its doesn't, I get more response from the NH900 but even then only the fact that it tries to make me format the disc !!

Avrin Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 (edited) Looks like you didn't give the RH1 enough time to save system data after pressing the STOP button after recording. Always hold the unit REALLY steady after pressing the STOP button after recording, until all "DATA SAVE" and "SYSTEM FILE WRITING" messages disappear. This is the biggest inconvenience with minidisc units - you can't just hit the STOP button and run away, or your recording will be unreadable. Now probably only SONY can recover your recording, for a price. Edited November 1, 2007 by Avrin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
