I agree it doesn't make sense, but didn't some peeps talk about Sharp's
ATRAC having a bug or two causing glitches, a few months back?
And no, I'm not just saying this because I use Sony MD kit. Personally
I think the "Rat" should check all his cables first, and jiggle any iffy
connections. And if that doesn't work try hitting the Shark MD with one
of those "Happy Fun Balls" [BANG!!!].
