MD: Does Sony MZ-R91/90 accept standard headphone jack?

One step ahead of you there. I did try to experiment with them (which was next to impossible to fine tune considering I had no reliable check disc and couldn't make a reliable Continuous Recording disc either), but of all settings and combinations attempted, nothing fixed the problem. I'm 90% cer

Optical blocks are relatively inexpensive. So unless he wants to upgrade for the sake of a more recent ATRAC version, if he's happy with his JA3ES, fix it. If it were me, I'd go for an ATRAC 4.0 deck for sure. Adios, LarZ --- TAMA - The Strongest Name in Drums --- --

The JA3-ES does have a poor reliability record for optical blocks. A number of us on MD-L, including me, have had disc content permanently destroyed by faulty UTOC updates. My JA3 was less than 12 months old when it started playing up - the block was replaced under warranty in 1996 and (touch woo
