That does not sound good. Being optimistic, though, what happens if you record something and then finalize it? Will it play then?
Will it play a previously recorded MD?

I'm sorry this isn't much help, but I had the same problem with my 702 unit. From what I've read it's very common with this model - Sharp claims to have remedied the error with their 831 unit. Luckily, when I had this problem, my recorder was still under warranty and I have to say that Sharp fixed it promptly and returned it to me. Have you tried contacting them? Since it's a design flaw, they might be amenable to working something out with you...
SOURCE: sharp MD MT-80H(S) not playing sony minidisc 80
I had a similar problem after not using player for several months - "Can't read" message displayed every time I put a recorded minidisc in the player. Seem to have solved it (maybe only temporarily) by opening the player, inserting little finger in at the righthand front and sliding movable mechanism from side to side. It looks to slide on a bar which had maybe picked up dirt or damp. Also tried blowing a warm hairdryer into the slot for a minute or two (take disc out first!) to remove any damp. Working OK at the moment.

Comment from rickers regarding non recording on the Sharp mini disk. The unit generally is of good quality and reliabilitty. Playback sound of pre-recoeded and self recorded (On a Sony mini disk) are exceptional quality. My Sony Mini disk works well but play back of sound recorede from vinyl has hiss. The Sharp unit is almost flawless in playback. When recording on a new disk on the Sharp, indicators in the window show the REC sign and the sound level meter is active, All indicators suggest the recording is taking place, but on playback there is no sound and the indicator window show BLANK DISK. Every instruction for recording has been checked and followed. I am stumped and the live person at Sharp has no idea and advises I go to a dealer,
