hi

I have purchased a pre-loved MZ-R70. Plays back standard recording, but, when I put in a md recorded on LP it appears to be playing, says 'LP' at the beginning of display, but no sound comes through. The manual says it should automatically swithc type of playback.. can anyone please help. thanks L (downunder in Aus)

LP is not the same as monaural. The R70 will play 160 mins of mono, but it will not do 160 minutes of MDLP. Sorry.

You need to look in the browser http://www.minidisc.org/equipment_browser.html and see if there are the magic letters MDLP. The R900 was the first portable recorder in the list that supported LP, they are in order. So the R900 happens to be the next one after yours, making yours roughly the last not to support MDLP. Bad luck.

It says "LP" in the display because Sony rigged it to do that rather than playing digital noise.
