Hmmm Music Lover Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 Hi again! I just purchased this MZ-R2 unit off eBay and still waiting for it to be delivered later this week. Before it gets here I thought about doing some advanced research about it. Per seller, it displays the error message (see photo) when an MD is inserted. I think the seller is most likely just a reseller, who buys stuff from garage or estate sales, thrift stores, etc. an then resells them on eBay, Craigslist, etc., so they do not have a deeper knowledge about the unit. I have read something that this model would read factory recorded artists minidiscs smoothly but it has issues playing or even loading any personal type recorded minidiscs. Is it just a file format issue being an older model of player/recorder? Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilippeC Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 The unit can read any SP (standard 292kbps) recording . Do you clean the lens ? Try also a new MD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilippeC Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 There are "cleaning MD discs" but any gentle & smooth use of a Q-tip with isopropilic alcool will do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Philippe! I got the unit yesterday. It did play back a pre-recorded disc. But it cannot read/play any of my own discs with recorded tracks using SP (recording via optical connection). Plus, there are other issues - I had to press lightly on the cover for it to be able to play back a pre-recorded disc and the remote that came with has the metal part of the headset plug stuck so I cannot insert my own headset.
