Syrius Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 A few years ago, I got bit by the digital music bug, but instead of buying an MP3 player, I went ahead and got an SR60 after reading the good reviews it got. :smile: Problem is that lately the poor unit began to lose focus and could not read the disc. :wacky: So I gave up all hope and bought another on Ebay. This one turned to have the headphone jack busted, and the seller is ignoring me, so bleh, big deal I can fix it later. :whatever: (In fact I found a makeshift solution to make it work.) I go to a pawn shop, and find a black NetMD player at a good price. I buy it to replace the second player, which was a replacement of the first one. But just a few hours later, I find about the wonders of LP2, OMG, restrictions here and there, and basically no SP. Thanks $ony (Fortunately, the program crashes my computer, so I have an excuse to return it :grin: ). Then I find myself with some spare money, and eye a beautiful silver player on Evilbay. I win it for a great price, and am happy as a.. a... a whatever it is that you say to illustrate how happy you are. :happy: I come to the equipment browser at this site to check the specs of the unit I bought. And somehow ended up in the page listing my old SR60. And find the link for service mode. And then the first thing I read, is about the auto alignment for Sharp units. So I go and pull out the player from the drawer I had stuffed it in, and try the steps listed there... I had nothing to lose, but a busted player... And it works. I'm listening to Yoko Kanno's "Real Folk Blues" (10K points if you can tell me where that's from.) as I type this. No skips. No problems. Tomorrow, it's the trial by fire for the player, as I'll be listening to it while commuting. Thank God for this site. Now my only problem is what to do with the MZ R37 that has a bad headphone jack, and the MZ E35 I won. :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrius Posted June 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Blah. Now it says MD ER 80. As soon as the battery died on me, I replaced it with another, now it's giving me that error message. Darn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrius Posted June 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Now it's ok? Goodness. :wacky: This is creeping me out. (please don't think I'm flooding the forum) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 And it works. I'm listening to Yoko Kanno's "Real Folk Blues" (10K points if you can tell me where that's from.)Cowboy Bebop OST. :grin: Anyway, sorry to hear of your troubles, but it looks like you may have found success at the end. Is it still working? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrius Posted June 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Yup. It's working just fine. :laugh: Now what do I do with the R37, and the E35 I bought as replacements for my "dying" SR60? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|/|3 Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 I think (from my DR7 manual, I don't have the DR7 or it's manual anymore, memory..) that Er MD means "optical block error" in which case I wouldn't trust that MD. Keep the E35 hiding around lest your SR60 give more Er MDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
