Hi my sony mds je 500 appears 'no disc' error and eject all MDs .Sometimes the player read the MD but when I eject and put it again the same problem ' no disc ' The sound of the mechanism isn't normal when try to read the MD before eject. The problem is with ALL MDs disks. All are in perfect condition tested in another player. Any solution ? Thanks

SOURCE: can a MDS JE330 play minidiscs recorded by a

No. Only Hi-MD players/recorders can play Hi-MD's. They're a later and totally different technical specification. The discs may look superficially similar but it's like trying to play a Blu-Ray disc on a CD player.

SOURCE: Spontaneous MD erasure

Well, depending how the content was recorded, there may be a slim chance to recover the audio. To me it looks like TOC was not written successfully, effectively deleting the TOC.
You can try TOC cloning with this 'blank' MD using another MD player, but your track markers will be lost during the cloning. If it works, at best you will end up with ONE long track. Then you can edit and reset your track markers.

It may be also be a good idea, to try the JE440 carefully with junk content to make sure it still works ok when writing TOC. You may have an intermittent problem too. I'd be very careful editing MD in this unit until it has been confirmed the TOC writing works ok. You may want to check the over-write head assembly and the cable that connects it. Sometimes these cables develop hairline cracks causing intermittend write action.

Check out www.minidisc.org forum for TOC cloning.

Good luck recovering your audio.

SOURCE: Sony MDS-JE 480 'Auto Pause' capability

Most of these decks will simply STOP recording after 22 seconds of no analog or 6 seconds of no digital input; I have not heard of the Auto Pause feature.

SOURCE: what speakers are for MDS JE 330

Any kind you want. The MDS JE330 needs to be connected to an amplifier to use regular loudspeakers, so the choice depends on your amplifier, room size and budget.

You can also connect small active or passive speakers designed for portable units such as mp3 players or those used on desktop pc's to the headphone socket, but the sound quality won't be very good.
