Sony MDS-JE480 Mini Disc Player Questions & Answers
Sony mds je480 dont know how to switch auto pause
Most Sony MD's 'Auto Pause' feature can only be turned on & off with the remote. I am still unsure whether this is a feature on the JE480. I am led to believe that it is however you will need an older model's remote to turn it on & off. You need to locate the 'A-Space' button and press until 'A Pause' appears in the display. You can now turn it on or off. Good luck.

The source you are recording from cannot be read from; you slected a source without a connection, you have a digital source which has copy guard to prevent recording from it...
Check your input selector setting and your cables and the cables on the component you are trying to record from.
If optical in rare instances you are trying to record 5.1 or 7.1 encoded sound to older stereo on the deck - you can do this with an optical decoder box available on ebay without it all is connected correctly but it won't work.
SONY RMD10E Remote Control
I looked a bunch of places for you and could find any.
You might try another sony MD remote as their dirty little secret is many of the codes are similar. So another sony MD remote may give you most of the functions you need.
I found a rare MD remote I needed but was unwilling to pay $60USD for at a local resale shop for 99 cents so it can't hurt to try there or any electronics or tech junk shows you might happen on nearby.
Good Luck

It cannot read your disc for some reason... Bad disc, recorded in an extended format by a higher level machine are possibilities...
