MD: Wanted: 2nd-hand Soundcard with optical input
Hi, As is probably common with a lot of people on this list I am looking for a soundcard with an optical input as I intend to transfer my entire MD collection to CD unfortunately I feel it's now time me and MDs went our seperate ways. So, if anyone has got such an item and would be willing to sell it then feel free to e-mail me off-list with the details. I live in the UK so would prefer a UK/European source although I'm sure we could work something out if you live elsewhere. Many thanks in advance, Mathew P.S. This will mean I'll have 80 blank minidiscs for sale (74 + 80min, mostly Sony) if anyone's interested! All in good nick with cases (unbroken) etc... - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

MD: Wanted: Transport mechanism for a MDS-JE510
Hi everyone, Does anyone have a broken JE510 MD Deck that I could purchase the transport mechanism from (obviously I'd prefer the fault not to be with the transport!)? The recording head on mine got mangled and it seems to have stopped the whole thing working. Can anyone help? I am based in the UK but given the (relatively) small weight of the mechanism I would be willing to pay the postage for an overseas item. Yours in anticipation, Mathew - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
MD: 'Problems' with my Sony 7900 In-Car MD Player
Hi all, My Sony 7900 in-car MD player seems to be having some sort of 'problem' related to its RDS Traffic Announcement feature. I am hesitant to use the word 'problem' as it could well be an inherent consequence of how this RDS feature works but hopefully someone out there might be able to explain what's going on Whilst listening to the radio with the TA feature enabled I occasionally suddenly get a momentary muting of the sound and the words 'EON-TA' appears very briefly on the LCD. The music then reappears and everything is okay... The Traffic Announcement feature does work in that when another station is broadcasting a traffic update it successfully switches over to that station until the programme has finished. During this correct operation of the TA feature the display does not display 'EON-TA' as in my 'problem' but correctly displays the radio station name. Am I correct in assuming that whilst I have TA enabled the radio is continuously scanning the other radio frequencies looking for the RDS TA databit (assuming the RDS information is digitally encoded) and when it comes across one that is then it switches the main tuner over to the traffic-broadcasting frequency? I say *main* tuner because I imagine that for it do this it must have two tuners to simultaneously tune in to two different frequencies? I figured that it must just scan the *entire* frequency range as it sometimes tunes in to traffic bulletins from radio stations that I don't have set in my presets. Has anyone come across this 'EON-TA' message and consequential muting of the sound? I thought that possibly the machine is picking up a TA databit that it shouldn't be - possibly from a radio station unintentionally, and momentarily, transmitting a TA bit? Incidentally I have only the noticed the problem recently so it could well be due a problem locally although I must admit I never used to really have the TA facility enabled elsewhere. Can anyone shed any light on my problem? Or even point me in the direction of some RDS information with a somewhat more technical approach to it than the many available 'descriptions' of the RDS service?

MD: Purchasing MD equipment from the US (to the UK)
Hi, Has anyone out there (UK members specifically) had much experience in purchasing MD equipment mail order from the US? I have a friend in Arizona who would be willing to purchase an MD Player on my behalf and send it to me here in the UK. Is there anything anyone can recommend in order for this to be done without 'attracting' customs charges, VAT etc? Can anyone shed any light on what the legalities of this are? If anyone has any experience of this I would be interested to hear any advice you may have to offer. I assume that me doing it this way would be better than purchasing direct from the mail order supplier and getting them to ship it? I am relatively new to this list and can appreciate that this could well be a topic that has been heavily discussed before - apologies if this is the case. Kind regards, Mathew - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
