I own a JVC XM-R70, which ever since I bought it have not had one single complaint. In anyway, when I listen to a MD without skipping around too much, I notice that the md starts playing the desired track. Then it reads like crazy for say 10 seconds. Then suddenly it stops all mechanical movement completely (while the music is still playing). It continues to play music for a while (+/- 30 seconds), then it spins up again for a while, then shuts down again. This continues for the duration of the disc. The unit also has a built in 40 second anti-shock. Does this mean the unit buffers more than 40 seconds, maybe like even 1:30, and only spins up when it needs more data? (While keeping a anti shock buffer as well). Can anybody shed some light on this. Is this a standard procedure on all MD recorders?
