Hello all,
I've bought ten BASF Maxima MDs. I inserted one into my R55, and it won't
recognize it as a blank disc. You can hear the mechanism making the MD spin,
but it never stops, and no "blankdisc" will ever show on the display.
I've tried all ten, and they all show the same symptoms.
Then,

Hey Everyone,
Another newbie question - I'm about to buy my first minidisc recorder
(probably a Sharp 831 portable) and I just read something that concerned me
a bit. Apparently you can only put track markings in when recording from a
mic? Is this true? I will use my MD for recording from the
Um - I havent been following the thread that closely, but I recall the issue has
to do
with a CD that cant be recorded to MD... it "clips".
I do agree that the *source* cant really have a "clipped" signal signal (well it
can -
but it should also sound clipped in analog mode as well)...

You could tap into the digital data stream going to the input pins on the DAC.
This is usually a

IF so a cmopany called opcode (www.opcode.com) produce a device called the DATPort
which is a digital input/ouput device. This may be the ideal solution for you - no
MIDI, XLR, COAX or anything other than 1 input and 1 output.
Looks interesting, but unfortunately has no optical connectors.

I just suddenly remembered something about digital sound data - the MSB is a sign
bit. If you imagine a sine wave being fed into a system that chopped the MSB, i
would turn into an 'm' shape. and it still wouldn't clip.
Are you sure? That format of the data depends entirely on the

That's nothing. My JA30ES has been confirmed to have a dud optical block.
It's costing AUD$380 (including labour) to replace. I would have done it
myself but I didn't have $3000 worth of tools to confirm that it was the

Soundforge for dynamics processing).
