"Sean" replies to "Richard" If you don't know anyone with a deck, maybe you could even try it on a demo model on the shelf at a local store if they'll let you - the procedure takes all of about 2 minutes and is very straightforward - Wow, won't the sales-people go all freakin? I see that happening here in South Africa ! I can't see it damaging the deck (if I'm wrong here someone please let me know!). For your part, hopefully not.

Re: MD: Successful cloning on Sony MZ-R55 ?
Sean asked, | (1) is it possible to SAFELY to TOC cloning on a Sony MZ-R55 ? It's not possible, safely nor dangerously, on the R55, as far as anyone has reported in the fora I follow. TOCs can be cloned on Sony decks (except the ATRAC 4.0 series), on Sharp slot-in portables, and on those Sharp clamshell portables where the disc insertion sensor is accessible from the opening. | (2) have someone done it before successfully? Not on an R55, AFAIK. | (4) is it possible, now, to take a disc which is recorded full of data and | take that disc's TOC and 'clone' it to my 'damaged' disc? Not with an R55. In your case, there is an additional complication: the track you mistakenly deleted and want to recover may have shared a cluster with a track you kept. Partial recoveries need to be in segments of six or more whole clusters, so ... well, let's just say, it's not the sort of thing I could cover when I wrote up the JE520 cloning instructions. | (5) I'm very scared about this test-mode stuff as I bought my Minidisc | unit overseas (only have a European warranty) at 50% cheaper as what it | costs here in South Africa ! You think it is safe? There's no point in trying test mode, because an R55 cannot clone TOCs. | (6) can you give me a sort-of step by step for a solution. I know alot | of people have written about this, but I am not able to find anything on | most portable recorders ( especially Sony MZ-R55) and is cloning the | right solutuion? Cloning is the right solution, but you won't find instructions for doing it on an R55. Perhaps someone else near you has a machine that can clone TOCs, but I do caution you, you may have to recover the whole disc as one track and redivide all tracks from one another and retitle them all. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: MD: Successful cloning on Sony MZ-R55 ?
Hi Sean, If you haven't recorded any new music onto the disc (i.e. so the recording is still physically on the disc, even if the TOC has been updated to record it as erased), it sounds to me like a TOC clone would restore your recording. However, the bad news is I'm unaware of any instructions for TOC cloning on a Sony portable, including the R55. Most Sony home decks can do it - I've done TOC clones on my Sony JE520 deck with ease - and as far as I'm aware there is no danger to the deck in doing this - so maybe you should find someone with a Sony deck who can help you out. If you don't know anyone with a deck, maybe you could even try it on a demo model on the shelf at a local store if they'll let you - the procedure takes all of about 2 minutes and is very straightforward - I can't see it damaging the deck (if I'm wrong here someone please let me know!). richard Richard Lang Solicitor Duncan Cotterill Christchurch, New Zealand -Original Message- From: Sean Snyders [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, 10 January 2001 1:37 a.m. To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MD: Successful cloning on Sony MZ-R55 ? ...
