Only in respect that not all MD units can *record* in mono. I think there
was an early car unit that objected to mono MDs but that was a hardware bug
and was fixed.... I could be wrong on that though as this was before car
units were available in the UK.

I have the following equipment:
Denon DMD 1000 (hifi)
Sony JE920 (hifi)
Sony R55 (portable)
Sharp 821 (portable)
Sharp 722 (broken portable!)
Aiwa F70 (portable)
I've recorded mono on almost all of them and never had playback problems. I
tried recording mono on the R55 for you then replaying on the 821 and it was
fine. The 722 played it too, but I can't really vouch for it's reliability
as it had a bath and has never been the same since. The fact it played it
suggests any other 722 would do the same. If you want me to test other
combinations just let me know, but I've never heard of a compatibility
issue.
