My guess is that you are *not* using a 220v to 110v step-down transformer and that the 220v to 3vdc adapter you are using is noisy, causing the MD's disc/optical/servo system to malfunction. Does it play properly when using the transformer? I have a 5vdc adapter for a portable CD player that will not run my Aiwa MD recorder properly. Not all wall-warts are created equal. My suggestion is to try a 220-110 step-down transformer with the included 3vdc adapter, or to take J. Coon's suggestion of producing 100VAC for the unit if you are already. Or perhaps your MZ-R91 has a fault.
