[QUOTE="lzasitko, post: 34882"] Yes it can record, it does have a line in, the same plug as the optical will take a miniplug so use a mic that has a miniplug and its good to go. You will have to manually start and stop but it should work fine. Never had any issues with the forward/rewind and can't really say that I noticed the different beeps..... just tried and yes they are 2 or 3 No I have not had any problemw where you press forward and it goes backwards, could try a tiny shot of electrical contact cleaner. I have not tried recording from a mic and the manual is contradictory in that it says that the line in/optical port can be used for only inputs from another source, tape/cd/stereo etc but later on says microphone. I don't know why it would not be able to. The plug senses what type of plug is in and will select it. If you go to minidisc.org they have links to both the manual and service manual for the N505.
