2000-01-11 Thread David Katzmaier
Hey all -- I'm getting a "disc error" message from my AM-F70 no matter what I do. I tried the magic "reset" button, four varieties of blank disc and even a prerecorded, and nada. I listen closely and there's a series of faint whirrings and clickings like it wants to start up, but nothing doing.
