My friend suggests that I have a defective Minidisc recorder, and it is somehow overheating, leading to this strange activity despite brand new batteries maybe it has something to do with overheating. The same thing happens with my MZR 55 sometimes, a newly recharged battery is getting low after a while ( no more than the 10-12 minutes of recording). After a certain pause ( the 20-25 minutes), it goes back into full charge icon, and continue further recording with no problems at all??! I noticed: its cycle is extremely low with a high temperature of recording environment ( including MD permanently in your hands during recording). In my house, under normal conditions, I get 2 hours and 45 minutes of recording time with a full charged battery ( and it's not bad for the MZR55) Try this, do the rest with your battery, and try again after a while. If it's still 'dead', it's definitely your recorder. P.S. I'm talking about the chewing-gum style battery, but it sounds like a common problem. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: MD: Sony MZ-R70 troubles (formerly strange pauses during playback)
Hello again, I have a correction, I actually have a Sony MZ-R70. To reiterate what I said earlier, I used it to record a concert. While playing back the concert, at about 3/4 through, the minidisc seems to pause for no reason for about 5-10 seconds then starts playing again. Is the minidisc defective? They were Sony minidisc's so I figured they were good quality, and I just bought them recently. One other problem I have had with it: I was recording a live concert which was 2 hours in length. When I switched to a fresh minidisc after recording for about 70 minutes, I also switched to a brand new battery. The battery worked fine for about 5-10 minutes (and the display showed a fully charged battery), but then the power cut off completely and the screen went blank. I removed and re-inserted the battery several times and the same thing would happen each time, including once in a while showing the battery icon as being low power (remember this was 5 minutes after the battery had been shown as having full power). This scenario has happened to me twice with my minidisc recorder. My friend suggests that I have a defective Minidisc recorder, and it is somehow overheating, leading to this strange activity despite brand new batteries. Any ideas? I have heard good things about the MZ-R70 so I am surprised I am having so many problems. (I use a lapel microphone with its own battery while recording, plugged into the LINE IN input. It is a $40 microphone. Could it be the problem, since it was so cheap?) Thanks for any help.
