How can I stop the recorder from not pausing- It is a problem because It seems to freeze all the controls and the only way to stop It is to pull out the plug, my Sony Playstation does not do this, only a momentary pause when the lazer goes to the second layer part of the disc, any Ideas please?

Call Sony Tech Support at 1-800-222-7669 and describe the problem. I had the same thing. They said the problem is in the memory and try a 2 minute power off reset first. This did not correct the problem. They then advised to return the unit and exchange for another one. Apparently, a number of units were programmed with corrupt software. Unless you can reprogram it yourself, you need to replace the whole thing. Good Luck.
