I have a sony mz-n10 minidisc player. Well I wanted to transfer some music so I connected the dock with the usb cable to my computer and I put my player in the dock. But my computer wouldnt recognize it at all. I made sure that every cable is correctly plugged in. I tried different usb ports, with or without the dc adaptor, restarted my computer a couple of times, used different discs. I reinstalled sonicstage. Checked the manuals for trouble solution but theres nothing

And the strangest thing about it is that when I disconnect my minidiscplayer it automaticly goes in the PC>>MD mode when its not even connected to the pc at all. I wont let me do anything at all like music playback. Well I solved this problem by switching the internal battery on and off. But when I try to connect it again to my computer I get the same thing.. so basicly

1) When in dock -> it functions normally, it charges normally but I cant get it to connect to my pc

2) When out of dock -> it doesnt function normally but its stuck in permanent pc>>md mode unless I switch the internal battery on and off. But this is just a temporary solution as it goes back to this mode as soon as I place it in the dock again.

This is when the usb cable is plugged in. Without the usb cable everything functions as it suppose to be. Is there someway to reset my minidiscplayer or upgrade the firmware?

Same problem here.. but over 2 years ago.

My solution was to just record via optical toslink. It's a slow process of tweaking your EQ on your computer, leveling out the volume (the N10 doesn't normalize inputs), track marking and titling individual songs -- ahh, totally miss the ease of NetMD.

I think you have to send the unit for servicing. But the last time I checked, the servicing costs as much as buying another N10 itself so it's the least of my budget priorities.

Hopefully by the time I get my RH1/M200 next week, I'll free myself from the "old school" bondage of pre-NetMD... :)
