hi,

i got my first md a few days ago (SONY MZR55). it's connected to my pc with opitcal digital connecting cable (POC-15B). i use Sound Blaster AudioPCI 128.

everytime i attempt to record anything, my MD shows "no signal" message on the screen.

am i doing something wrong? if so, what can i do? it may be easy for you, but it's my first MD ever, so... i'm out of ideas.. sad.gif please help.

have you checked that the optical output of that soundcard has been enabled??? (u should see a red light if it is) and also are you using the TOSLink output out of the Creative card (usually square) or the proprietary Creative digital output (circle)? because the circular jack doesn't work with MD's as it is a specialised jack for Creative's own range of speakers...

I had that issue with my MD when trying to record liestream off the net. I found a way to make it work by fluke. The No Signal was flashing, while I went to a site that has a pop-up with sound (Shockwave) and the MD started recording all of a sudden. I have used that to kick start the recording ever since.
