RE: MD: Hi-Space Disc Problems?
=== = NB: Over 50% of this message is QUOTED, please = = be more selective when quoting text = === I think we had a similar discussion a while back, but it was specifically about problems with some Hi Space discs, but also TDK and few others when used with Sony 520s and 920s. I seem to remember that we worked out that some discs when new and unused had a slightly stiffer shutter than the mechanism in these machines could cope with and rejected them with a C13 error the first time you tried to use them. Giving the shutter a good jiggle before insertion seemed to loosen the shutter and remedy the problem - the discs caused no problems after that. This is the only problem I've experienced with discs so far and it is easily remedied. -- From: metatron[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Reply To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 14 January 2000 12:02 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: MD: Hi-Space Disc Problems? Based on postings over the months to this list, and from my own experience, it seems that most people experience a glitch with a disc from time to time, but there isn't any consistency with the brand of disc that gives the problem, be it cheap or expensive [with maybe the exception of Memorex, though I'm sure lots of people have no problems with them]. My Sony JE520 doesn't like some TDK JVC discs, which need an extra big push to get them to load, whereas others with the same machine swear by TDK and have encountered something similar with Sony discs. I would say that there are idiosyncrasies in the tolerances of each recorder, and that by and large the discs themselves are usually OK. I would stick with the cheapest / most attractive that work for your machine.

I tend to make bootlegs of techno shows where the recorder gets bumped significantly, and I've found that Sony discs give me the fewest skips. Also, I listen to discs in a Sharp '702 that rides in my jacket or backpack pocket, and I also store discs there... they suffer a great deal of throwing around and dropping in an average day on campus. For me, the Sony Onyx and color collection discs are the most reliable. I've found that the metal shutters on the Hi-Space discs tend to get dented or bent, making them difficult to slide, whereas the thin, flexible plastic shutters that are on the Sony's return to their original shape after deformation and are *extremely* durable. discs themselves are usually OK. I would stick with the cheapest / most attractive that work for your machine. And for your application... for someone who handles their discs carefully, Hi-Space is probably a good bet... another question: does anyone have experience with the Axia discs from MiniDisco.com? The ones from Japan that have Hello Kitty or other cool designs on them? My girlfriend just purchased a 722 and is trying to figure out which discs to purchase. /Andrew - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

=== = NB: Over 50% of this message is QUOTED, please = = be more selective when quoting text = === Hi all, I have several Hi-Space disks. I have the red ones, the coloured ones and the blue 80 mins. They give no problem whatsoever for me, except for the 80 mins disks. The only unit that will read these is my JB920. My Car unit (Sony MDX-C7890R) and my portable (MZ-R30) won't read them ! A friend of mine has problems woth all Hi-Space disks in his stereo (also Sony) Kind regards, Tom Daniels = Original Message From [EMAIL PROTECTED] = So far I've used about 30 Hi-Space 74's (the red fruity ones) without a single problem. Then again none of my original Sony Black 74s (ten or so) have had probs and quite a few peeps have reported problems with them. I'm tempted to ask whether you're using a Sony MD unit or some dubious "other" manufacturer :-) Cheers, PrinceGaz -- "hey I'm not biased, I just happen to favor Sony MD stuff!" From: "Martin Schiff" [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have used about 20 Hi-space discs with no problems so far. -- Martin I've been using a lot of Hi-Space discs that I bought in quantity. I've not had any real problems, so far, although I've occasionally noticed that my MD recorder sometimes makes a very soft clicking or whining noise when I'm recording with them; it doesn't seem to do that with other brands. Within the last couple of days, I've heard from two different people that they have had problems with Hi-Space(unit won't read TOC, disc needs to be reinserted multiple times into unit before it will read TOC). Is this a coincidence or are other MD users familiar with problems using Hi-Space? Thanks.

No problems so far. I've got about 20 Sony Premium discs and they are also functioning fine. The only unit that sometimes gives me troubles is the 7900R car-head. Both the Sony and the HiSpace disc give a problem when it's freezing outside. When the car is warmed-up, all works fine!
