I am unsuccessful in recording from a portable Sony CD player to my M1 using an optical cable and a miniplug adapter. I can monitor the portable's audio but I get the "Copy Prohibit message" on the M1. I tried discs burned from a computer, burned on a CD-R home deck, and store bought discs and it did not make a difference in terms of SCMS on the M1. This has me confused. I am able to record from my eight year old Sony home CD player using the optical cable and from and a one year old Sony DVD player using a Coax cable (did not try the optical yet.) why not the portable as well? I thought the M1 allowed me to make one digital copy of protected material? Next question: Does anyone know of a new CD portable that I can make digital copies from? Thanks, -- Thomas ------------------------------ From: Delano Subject: dissappointed with ProDigital service Date: Mon, 26 Nov 2001 10:58:06 -0500 OK, 3 months ago, I called Paul Plotnik at ProDigital and was assured that my repairs would only take 2 weeks (12 - 2 = 10 extra weeks). We have now spoken a number of times, and it is constantly one delay after another. For 11 weeks, they were not able to determine the problem with my Tascam CDRW700. First they assured me it was the drive mechanism, then it was something related to the power, then after they had made those 2 substitutions, they realized neither was the problem (bad capacitor) and had to order yet another part. We spoke yet again after I did not receive anything after 2 weeks. They told me that they did not yet have the part but that they would order it soon. At the end of that message, I re-iterated that 12 weeks is more than 20% of the trading year and gave them my credit card info to ensure prompt shipment (items to be received on 11/27). When I return from my holidaze, I find a message on my machine stating ProDigital would not be able to mail until they had my credit card info (which they already had). *#$&! My only other experience with ProDigital was solely with dat-decks and was surprised at the quick turn-around. Although the ProDigital website specifically states that they can handle Tascam CDRW700 repairs, my recent experience causes me to doubt this. After some persistence, I was able to get Paul to pick up the additional tab for 2nd day shipping after the recent goof on his end so I am once again hoping that these units will be in-hand on Wednesday. I know many of you have requested trades during the past months but I was unable to make any substantial trades due to the ongoing delays. I have taped a number of shows during the past month and hope to make a few offers as soon as this mandated trading sabbatical is through.

Problems with R300 Date: Mon, 26 Nov 2001 10:42:40 -0800 Anybody got good recs for service centers here in the Seattle Area? I have a SONY PCM-R300 that just like that just started to make these weird solenoid clicking noise (from machine) and sends the error meters to the roof. There is digi-noise from the output when this happens. I only got about 60 hours on the head and have made attempts to dry clean it with tape to no avail.
