Any tips on removing a jammed disc other than sending the whole thing back to Yamaha? There must be an easier way! The door parially opens (readout says...
To quote what Harvey White said on 1/8/05... "If this is an MDM, then there's supposed to be a small hole in the plastic near the drive where you can poke in a...
The plastic door slides off the mechanism if you pull it forward. Then you can play with the latch and try to release it, then relatch it and let it spin up...
That would be soooooo great, and logical too, from a design standpoint, but it ain't there. (This is a Yamaha MD-8) I'm hoping someone has figured out a way...
Well, after not recording anything for a few months, I dusted off my 564. I'm getting flashing play lights like crazy (and choppy playback), and judging from...

Try sliding the cover forward. It should be easy to remove. In the middle of the front of the transport there is a flat catch. Moving this to right should...

Hi everyone, I am looking at buying this unit and wondered if anyone had information about them. What I want to do is hook up 4 analog mics into the xlr inputs...
... I think you'll find the 564 doesn't have any digital outputs. I know the Sony doesn't, and I thought none of them did. The next problem may be that your...
Thanks Anahata, That is why I am not looking at the sony (no spdif). Yes the 564 does have digital outs. I have researched this already, but not having a...
In digital it sends 2 tracks out at a time only. I suggest 2 second pre-roll with a sync tone, then you'll be able to dump all 4 tracks in 2 runs. ... spdif). ...
Thanks carl... yes I know that the 564 can only send out 2 tracks at a time. BUT can i also set the other 2 tracks to go out 2 analog outs. I am not sure if...
Hi everyone... I have been looking and looking with no luck. Any nice 564 owner out there care to scan/copy their manual and email it to me? I would be most...
Hi, I noticed one of the pan-pots (pan knobs) on my MD8 is getting noisy when moved. This is not good as sometimes I like to do active panning while mixing...
Hi woodenflutes, If you in the UK, Maplin may have a cleaner spray. Or it could be that the pot is wearing out. If that is the case, these people are a good...
Thanks, I'm not actually worried about finding the spray, but more worried about how to get at the dirty contact point inside the pot. I hope I don't have to...
Went in to buy an Minidisc laser & write head cleaner at Radio Shack today. Noticed that they've marked down their cleaner from $19.99 to $4.95!!!! This...
Hello Woodenflutes, I have an MD8 that I dismantled when I first got it to clean up the front panel. Taking off the bottom panel is a fairly straight forward...
Thanks for that bit of info. I am assuming, like most electronic deviced with pots, the plastic knobs just pull off, and then there is a hex nut when can be...
