Well, I just found that my MZ-R70 wrote silence over about an
hour of material because the record got inadvertantly pressed
as I took it (and it's Severed leather case) off of my belt for
the night...
For some reason, maybe low battery, it stopped short of wiping
the entire disc, but since these tracks were a compilation off
of LPs, it will take an afternoon of work to replace them
Sony could say that there are many ways to prevent inadvertant
erasure, but each of them involves it own kind of frustration.
One way to deal with the prolem is with the "Hold" switch, which
would be a good solution since I always use the remote EXCEPT
for one thing: pressing stop to charge the battery. (It complains
if hold is on.) The "wriite protect" tab is another possible solution,
but I get annoyed at getting "protect" messages from my home deck
when I DO want to change the disk.
The correct solutuion, which Sony FINALLY implemented, but not
soon enough to fix my recorder, is make the record start position
selectable. An even better solution would be to do what everyone
else does and just eliminate "End Search" entirely.
Sorry to rehash this old discussion thread. But I just had to do
something to lower my blood pressure after wiping out all that work.
I am generally a loyal Sony customer, but this type of thing makes
me want to throw the MZ-R70 in the trash!
