Oh yeah, I've done that. But being the type that doesn't try to
pass the buck, I blamed it on my carelessness rather than the
hardware.
A much bigger beef with the MZ-R90 in this area is how easily the
"record" button is operated. I've bumped it into record mode a
couple of times now while carrying the unit in my pants pocket.
Sure, sliding the write protect tab would "fix" the problem but then
it would prevent me from marking my place on the disc before
ejecting it by hitting the "mark write" button. Wish they'd
provided two separate buttons to activate "record".
