MiniDisc Community Pages News for 7 September 2000
o Did you know Sony has their own [1]MiniDisc troubleshooting FAQ? The
trouble is, it is woefully misinformed in places, to wit: When
recording to Mini Disc (MD), the recorder saves all of the audio
data to memory. The newly recorded audio data is not written to the
MD until the disc is ejected or the player is powered off. Will
somebody at Sony Technical please straighten them out?

MiniDisc Community Pages News for 10 September 2000
o Thank You Sony! End-Search can be permanently automated on the
MZ-R900. Japan-Direct posts [1]MZ-R900 closeups and quotes from its
user manual as follows: ``How to Set Rec-Posi: If you wish to avoid
overwriting the currrent contents of an MD, do the following
procedure. All new material will then be recorded from the end of
the current contents. 1) While the recorder is stopped, press the
jog lever, flip the lever repeatedly until "Rec-Posi" flashes in the
display, and then press the lever again. 2) Flip the jog lever
repeatedly until the "From End" flashes in the display and then
press the lever.'' The Japanese section of the manual notes that
these settings are retained even if the power is cut (oddly, the
English section of the manual incorrectly translates this point).
Overwrite recording is done by first positioning with Play-Pause at
the overwrite point.
