Re: Making MP3's with PTR1

Frank - this didn't work, but what I have discovered is that when I press play, and hold the PTR1 to my ear, I can hear it trying to set the disc up to play, and it tries for about 3 minutes to do this, then when it can't, I get the tone that you hear when pressing the play/stop key, and then I am able to shut the player down, so I'm pretty sure this is about a brand of CDRs [BenQ] that doesn't work in the PTR1, but still curious as to why I don't get that damaged disc message that I usually get if the PTR1 is unable to play a disk for some reason.

No guarantee that it will resolve your problem but the next time it
happens instead of taking out the batteries try switching your key
describer lock switch all the way to the right and then back to the left
in its normal position.

Hi all -
I've just started using a new batch of CDRs with the PTR1 and a strange
thing is happening.
I burn a full disk of MP3 files, and they play fine on my PC, and in my
DVD
cinema system, but when I come to play them in the PTR1, Jennifer tells
me
the disk is an MP3 disk, but then the player seems to lock up, and
pressing
any of the buttons doesn't do anything. The machine doesn't shut down,
or
give the message that this is a damaged disk, it just sits there; I can
hear
that it is still on as there is a quiet hiss from the speaker, and the
only
way to reset it is to remove the battery.
It might well be that these discs won't work with the PTR1 for some
reason,
but I would have expected an error message about the disk, rather than
the
machine just freezing.
Anybody any thoughts? Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Linda Reeder" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, March 29, 2005 4:18 AM Subject: Re: Making MP3's with PTR1

Yes you can record directly on to a 80 minute CD You can press the
track
change button after each song. When you turn off the machine so that
you
can turn the tape over Remember when you put it on record again it
automatically starts a new track.  It does this when you are in the
music
CD mode. Linda Reeder ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Acosta" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, March 26, 2005 2:58 PM Subject: Re: Making MP3's with PTR1

i Frank. Great to see you on this list. Could you give me the steps
