RE: MD: MZ-R91 Problems
I took my troubled R91 to the Mr Bungle show in Sydney on Friday night and recorded two MD's with no problems what-so-ever. Now i don't get it. Maybe the dude at the sound desk stuffed up that night. Another Idea Most portable recorders will only take a certain amount of shock (vibrations), before they will stop recording. If this was relatively loud concert the vribrations may have caused the MZ-R91 to stop recording. Continous vibrations are just as likely to cause a recorder to drop out of recording mode as droping it on the floor. (as the heads never get a quiet time to realign for recording .. regardless how many seconds of shock memory are available). Experiment with your MZ-R91 to see what it takes (vibration wise) to cause it to drop out of record mode ... (sit in on the washing machine in spin cycle, on top of a speaker playing loud bass signals, on the bonnet of a rough idling car ... just a few ideas). It could be the vibration problem ... or maybe LarZ is right .. the sound desk dude just simply stuffed up !!!

RE: MD: MZ-R91 Problems
yeah those are all reasonable explanations but not in my situation... i was watching the MD unit, no one went near it, it was recording from my own microphones, not the desk... also it was a small gig in a small pub, not very loud at all... Unless it's some kind of interference (which is possible but unlikely), and assuming your MZ-R91 is in perfect working order, I'd just chalk this incident up to a FON. (Freak of Nature :) ... i might muck around with it at home with my desk and pa equipment... see if anything interferes with it...

RE: MD: MZ-R91 Problems
Very unusual to say the least. Call Sony's service department and ask for the senior technician (who would be in a better position to assess your problem, IMHO). I think there could be a simple but silly fault with the unit, and fortunately, your international warranty will cover it (though not your labour costs if it's outside the 3 month period ... unless their international warranty has changed, I believe it's 90 days labour and 12 months parts).

[snip!] Do i ring Sony in Australia about this? I bought it from MiniDiscWeb in Hong Kong and it's got an international warranty. Or is there some mode i can use to reset the 'internals' of this thing (i've got no idea about test modes or anything like that. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
