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

I like the 831 remote so much, I haven't touched it in a while! (I've got 3 other remotes that can be used with the 831) I love the layout, so I'm saving it, in case I get another Sharp (clone) in the future. From my experiences with Panasonic, try to avoid touching these remotes with a greasy

Using the earphones works in a pinch but you are better off making or buying a condenser mike. Here is one that I designed that work well, and the parts cost about $10. http://www.tir.com/~liteways/Mandolin.html#Microphone Anthony Lalande wrote: On the other hand, a friend of mine has
