Hi,
I just can NOT get my Sony MDS JB920 to play through my Cambridge audio A5, no matter where I plug the leads.
I note that all Sony amps have the double terminals for MD connection.
Before I buy a new Sony amp, does anyone have any suggestions of how I might get around this problem?
Please note that the A5 was a freebie but the minidisc player was a recent purchase so, I would rather replace the amp.
I am playing it through a pair of Ruark Prologue One's.
Many thanks,
Andy.

Don't worry about needing the MD label on the amp sockets- you don't.

2 questions:
Does the MD work out of its own headphone socket?
Does the A5 work with other sources?

The amp works with - phono, CD and Bluetooth receiver.
Just tried the md player with 'phones - nothing.

You say it was a recent purchase......

(Obviously there's something on the disc you're using - either commercially or self-recorded)

Well, you fixed it for me, albeit inadvertently.
I had given up, that's why I asked for advice.
You had me plug in some headphones and while I was sitting there listening to nothing, I looked at the md case and realised that I had recorded 4 albums on it.
On long play.
When I managed to find a disc recorded 1-1,guess what?
Everything works fine.
The Sony JB 920 doesn't support LP minidiscs.
What a donut.
So, thanks for your advice, it really did make a difference.
Regards,
Andy.

Glad it works Andy (y)

My brother bought the flagship 'UK tuned' 930 model years ago - I borrowed it for a while and was massively impressed.
With its digital in/outs and excellent editing capabilities (so much better than CD rewriteable recorders) it was way ahead of its time.
A lossy format maybe - but you're hard pushed to tell thanks to that ATRAC system.
