Does anyone out there happen to know what the error codes for the
Yamaha MD8 are? I turned my my recorder on yesterday night to lay some
tracks and it reported an Error #8, it does not allow me to select any
options from the menus and it will not eject the minidisc.
If anyone can help I will appreciate it, thanks.

Turn the MD8 off and back on again, make sure the drive door is shut all
the way, then try to eject it. I got an error #7 on mine a couple of
times. Yamaha said it was a tracking error, probably a bad disc but if it
persisted the MD8 would need service. It didn't. The disc wasn't bad
either. Just a fluke I guess. Haven't had a problem since.

Oh, no, I've never had a code so I'm not sure what the causes are. But
you are correct that somebody on this newsgroup speculated that *some*
codes may be caused by user impatience. For the record, I've been plenty
impatient with my MD-8 over the last year, and still never got a code -
altho sometimes I've had to wait an eternity for the MD-8 to get caught
up with me or let me re-enter the final steps in a long sequence of
commands!
