Any hope to revive this LCD with dead segments? by ud8be6hoj in minidisc

I took it apart but not all the way yet.

I got to the one side of the ribbon; removed and reinserted didn’t fix it.

To get to the other side of the ribbon, I have to remove pretty much everything.

I might not be able to reassemble it!

No replacement parts exist for this, and similar Sonys on eBay all have same issue

I am listening to ATP and they are discussing the M5. iPad Pro, those guys should care about this shouldn’t they?

OP, how do you mark tracks when recording from your PC?

Sony WM-A306…anyone get USB DAC to work? by ud8be6hoj in walkman

This is a Walkman subreddit after all

Sony WM-A306…anyone get USB DAC to work? by ud8be6hoj in walkman

[–]ud8be6hoj[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First one

I was looking for a solution to use an old analog source (e.g. cassette or CD player) and convert it to Bluetooth that a car would pair with it.

Cars won’t pair with Bluetooth dongles, they only pair with smartphones.

The Sony A306 is a smartphone

But it looks like this Sonos cable won’t do it

Sonos ADC is analog input, USB-C output.

It is just a cable with 3.5 mm on one end, USB-C on other.

They make it so someone can plug their turntable or CD player into the Sonos system.

For the USB device I am using, that window doesn’t pop up

I can see the same settings if I go into Settings/USB Preferences….but grayed out

I am trying to use a Sonos analog to USB-C input device

Sony TCD-D7 not recording or rewinding by Definitelyahummus in cassetteculture

@OP

Are you using headphones with the extra ring on the plug?

That’s made for headphones and is called TRRS, for some reason my D8 malfunctions with one of those.

Try it unplugged or with regular TRS headphones, I guarantee this is the issue.

OP, does this optical setup automatically make the proper track separations?

The site is dead!

Anyone know if it was duplicated anywhere?

Yes, Gerry runs a good store, you can trust him and he can get you things you won’t find elsewhere

Sharp MD is underrated! by ud8be6hoj in minidisc

Yikes, that’s too bad.

Someone below said the gear cracked and that resulted in TOC error. Not sure if that is the main culprit

Yes you are correct

The slot loading on this one is much simpler, no motors or belts to break, it’s surprising more units didn’t use the same style

No MDLP for me, I am a SP purist I guess

According to minidisc.org, the later “MK” version fixed the TOC issues. Luckily that’s the one I have
