ShellyA.

My MZ-2000 takes forever to power up or turn off. I have to hold it down and try several times to turn it off. Someone mentioned that it may need a new battery of some kind? If this is the problem, does anyone know where I would buy a battery like that?

I'm not sure why I'm showing up as ShellyA. I'm shelly0624 (up further..). I haven't been here for a while, but I've been playing my MZ quite a bit lately and remembered this thread.

Has anyone tried to use the microphone feature on their MZ-2000 for voice? It doesn't seem to have much volume when I use it and I have to practically eat the microphone to get any sound. I'm using a Shure SM58 mic. The speakers on the MZ are strong enough, I would think, for more volume than that.
