Playing in mono rather than stereo

[Stray Dog]

Hey there, Im new here so I hope I've put this thread in the right section. If not feel free to move it!

Is there any way I can set my minidiscs to play in mono rather than stereo?

I own two portable minidisc players, a Sony MZ R410 and a Sony MZ N710.

I have been recording some stuff from the MD to my computer, using a lead from the MD headphone jack to the PC mic jack. On playback I realised that only one side of the stereo had recorded.

If I could just set the MD into mono this would not be a problem.

I guess what I really need is a stereo lead between them, right? Or is there a way I can set playback for mono?

First problem ,..... your using the wrong input on the computer . Mic in is MIC level , LINE in is LINe level . That would be for the computer ,...... like going into the fridge , and seeing a Glass of clear liquid , thinking its cold water ( on a hot day ) and just grabbing it and downing it only to realize as the BURN hits the back of your throat that it is MOONSHINe and not water .( I have actually done this in a younger day , stepdads mason jar in the fridge )

Or better yet My Parrot decided he wanted a drink out of my glass one day flew over and just stuck his head right in the glass , I had Remy Martin in it

God I wish I would have had a camera at that moment , the look on his face was TRULY ...You Tube worthy .

Use Line in for Line level sources (Headphone out of the MD is practically line out )

so your solution is , if you do not HAve line in , get a USB audio interface and plug the MD into that , then you can record , until your hard drive crashes .
