As I remember you were not sending it in because you did not want to be
without it. I take it you still have not sent it in for the lockup
problem? I understood that they did sort all that out for everybody else.

Did you ever try holding down the pause and record when you started up?
After a few seconds of holding the buttons the one I used to use would
switch direct to manual record without all the fussing around. That's
the only way I ever used it.

I'm guessing the buffer it uses to store that info filled. When I was
using a walkman I'd make a point of shutting it down between recordings
just to be sure. I never lost a TOC with any minidisc recorder.
