Most common problem will probably be some 'dis-allignment' of the internal mechanics. This can be corrected in testing mode. For the rest.. Some devices will give you some technical information like: - BLER (BLock Error Rate - what's the head's possition - version of the firmware - etc. Cheers, Ralph -> without testmode... -- === Ralph SmeetsFunctional Verification Centre Of Competence - CMG Voice: (+33) (0)4 76 58 44 46 STMicroelectronics Fax:(+33) (0)4 76 58 40 11 5, chem de la Dhuy Mobile: (+33) (0)6 82 66 62 70 38240 MEYLAN E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] FRANCE === "For many years, mankind lived just like the animals.

Very wise words, BTW doesn't anybody have, or know where to find the Service Manual for the Sharp MD-MT20H ? I need that, so I will know what I'm doing, I've got the service manual of the MS200, but It's totally different :-( Oh, and to be more precise about what Test mode is, it's a mode which the people at the service centers use to find out what's wrong with it if it doesn't work anymore, and if you're lucky enough, they can even restore it to working order by only using Test mode. (If some settings somehow got messed up due to electrostatic fields, miswriting to the chip or whatever that could've happened). The problem here is that in test mode you can also mess up the settings of you're MD recorder, which can indeed render it useless.

Re: MD: Test mode?
If you don't know about test mode, DO NOT enter it. It can do all sorts of things, including rendering your MD unusable! Seriously.
