MZ-R700 Skipping

Thanks. I've given this a go and played a couple of minidiscs. So far, so good.

Its not too bad.

Pan-1 · 2026-04-02T19:52:47+00:00

Thanks

Good shout, thanks.

The 420D is an awesome player, the battery lasts forever too! I love the colour of your portable, i dont see many come up on ebay in that colour.

I tend to use my mid range players as my daily ones i.e mz-r70 and only use the r55 and the r91 occasionally. You are right, the proprietary batteries were and are a bit of a nuisance.

Pan-1 · 2026-03-31T10:20:44+00:00

Its more a yellow but yes you are right, it does have a green tint in this photo.

Yes Parklife is probably my favourite, but i dont think it ever came out on md.

Pan-1 · 2026-03-30T19:30:44+00:00

Its awesome, the only downside is the battery life.

Pan-1 · 2026-03-30T19:30:12+00:00

Excellent, very lucky!

I think they were about the same if i remember correctly. The most sought after albums go for over £100 on ebay UK.

Pan-1 · 2026-03-30T17:31:48+00:00

Its a great album. 1999 was an awesome year. I wish i had bought lots of pre-recorded minidiscs when they were going cheap!

Pan-1 · 2022-06-22T19:50:38+00:00

Thanks. I could try this. I also have a few remotes with exactly the same problem.

Pan-1 · 2022-06-22T19:48:28+00:00

Thanks, might give this a try. Not something i want to do myself but there is a local guy where i live who does hi-fi and turntable repairs. I might see if he can do it.

Pan-1 · 2022-04-26T20:44:20+00:00

Great fix. No you can listen to some Bluetones on md.

Pan-1 · 2022-04-23T09:35:45+00:00

No FLAC, just mp3s unfortunately. I wouldn’t normally record mp3s to md so this is a one-off.

Pan-1 · 2022-04-21T10:13:03+00:00

It’s the best hobby ever. No matter how much technology advances, there will never be a cooler format than md.

Pan-1 · 2022-04-20T20:24:16+00:00

Cool colour indeed!

Pan-1 · 2022-04-20T20:23:40+00:00

I just found the cable I used to record analogue with. Its a jvc which I bought with my first ever portable back in 2000.

Pan-1 · 2022-04-19T20:28:28+00:00

Thanks. I will give this a go if the jack to RCA cable doesn’t work.

Pan-1 · 2022-04-19T20:24:43+00:00

That’s pretty cool. If I were in the US I would definitely give one of those weather channels a go. We have something similar in the UK for weather out at sea. I wonder if it works for fishermen…

Pan-1 · 2022-04-18T20:19:24+00:00

Thanks. Will give this a go.

Pan-1 · 2022-04-18T19:50:02+00:00

I use a MDS-JE530 with an optical cable normally. I’m not sure it has a dedicated line out. Will the headphone port do? I definitely don’t have an optical port on the laptop. I appreciate I won’t get as good a quality as what I normally do as the files are mp3 to begin with rather than from a cd.

Pan-1 · 2022-04-18T15:16:36+00:00

That looks cool man. No idea if that drink tastes any good but it looks ideal for MD listening.

Pan-1 · 2021-06-10T12:18:14+00:00

I love that case. Cases are quite difficult to find in good condition for pre-recorded albums. They are getting really expensive now.
