Humming is normally bad shielding or grounding within the plug. Sony are also a strange company and do things _their_ way. Also cable come in different qualities and with good audio equipment buy the best with gold flashed contacts, copper stranded cable and good screening.

download and run the software from https://www.sony.co.uk/support/en/content/cnt-dwnl/prd-dna/sony-personal-audio-driver/MZ-N910 then plug in the walkman !

Hi, yes the power button should be in the top-left corner of the device. It should be above a green button. Thank you.

Yes

Hi, Please double check that you're using multiple cables from your blu ray and not just one. A coax cable can connect your bluray player to your amp and then another cable from hdmi output can connect to your projector. If you need more help in figuring out exact cable types and detailed home-theatre setup guide, you can reach out to dolby as well by calling 415-558-0200. They do home theatre setup as well. Thank you.

There are video's on YouTube about how to replace the belt for your Sony cassette player.Ebay and Amazon have replacement parts too.

Hi, just came across the same device, but remote is missing. Your solution to hack the audio is not acceptable. I continued looking. And found a way which is not mentioned on any forums. THE SOLUTION is ANDROID APP on PLAY STORE: 1. GET THE APP "irplus". 2. OPEN APP AND "ADD NEW REMOTE" 3. SELECT BRAND "SONY(Various&Legacy)" 4. SELECT DEVICE "CMT-Series" 5. TAP the "TICK" in the upper right corner TO FINISH. 6. YOU WILL SEE REMOTE. TAP ON "INPUT+" to select "AUDIO IN" 7. ENJOY THE BEATS BTW YOU ARE WELCOME

The carriage assemblies for these units are known to break. Please DO NOT attempt to remove the disk. Bring this to an authorized Sony service center. They should be able to give you a fixed price repair quote. This is the only way to save the disc and prevent further damage to the assembly. The replacement assemblies are a bit better than the originals so you shoudn't have this problem again.

I have repaired a number of these with much success. Care must be taken so that the disc heads are not damaged.

Keep us posted.

using the dubbing button on your recorder will recorder from your cd player on the right side of the deck to the cdr recorder on your left side..the left side of the deck is the cd recorder...hope it helps...just place a cd disc on the right side and a blank cd on the left side push dubbing button and wait till the left side reads the song on the recorder cd on the right

Were these discs labeled CD-R Digital Audio? This compact disc recorder can't record to CD-R data disc for computers. See the manual on page 7. The manual is available here: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/4246/42460761M.pdf . Apparently, there is a header section on CD-R Digital Audio discs that tells the RCD-W100 that the disc is for audio recording. The work-around would be to process your audio files on a computer and then write the music to the CDs that you currently have. I wish that I had better news for you. Cindy Wells

Hi, please shutoff your home theatre system for 5 to 10 minutes and double check that you've not plugged any of it's cords into incorrect jacks. You can then power on and check the device's buttons again. Thank you.

Just clean the lense of the MD drive.

The c13 error means that the player is unable to read the table of contents (TOC) on discs any more. If it's an occasional error then you can try switching to TDK blanks as they seem to be easier for flaky players to read, but if it's happening regularly to all discs then your machine is unrepairable due to a total lack of spare parts.

On the plus side, there are millions of MD units now lying unused as folks have moved on from them and as they're mostly worthless people don't generally bother with trying to sell them. Almost every piece of MD gear I own has come free of charge via my local FreeCycle and Freegle groups. Whatever you do, don't buy a used player from anyone: they're all getting on now and the TOC error is an age-related fault which may occur at any time.

If you wish to see exactly what features other machines have then visit the superb equipment browser at minidisc.org. The site is hosted but n longer maintained though so some information is out of date, but it's still the most comprehensive source of free information about MD available.

Sorry here's probably no hope for your player, but I hope that my reply has given you a practical alternative means of solving your problem.

The laser may need to be replaced and there is a problem with the laser also.Or the Laser needs to be readjusted.

More than one.

Sony radios of this era had notorious capacitor problems.... also several other brands were affected. These capacitors were underrated and the technology to make them was not at it's best back then. The cure is to replace the capacitors on the board with new electrolytics. About 28 of them need to be replaced but the big problem is to find someone to do this. the original capacitors are surface mount and must be removed and new radial lead caps put in their place, some are rather tough to get at and the new ones have to be placed carefully. My SONY ICF-SW7600 now works as new and maybe even better!
I have done this myself as I have skills working with surface mount capacitors. I offer my services to those who cannot find service for their radios. Please email me for details, I am not into making bucks on this, I just want to see these radios kept working and bringing enjoyment to their owners.

The display maybe broken and not working and has quit working and you can replace the display screen or use it then with only the display screen is not working.

The motor might be broken and is not working and will have to be replaced in your walkman.
