Refer to "MZ-R70 Minidisc Remote Display Digital Output Protocol - oliford" 

The Start Sequence there is seen as

2.5V +------~ ~---+                +-----~ ~----+     +-+     +-+     +-+     +-+     +-+     +-+     +-+     +-+     +------~
                  I                I            I     I I     I I     I I     I I     I I     I I     I I     I I     I
                  I                I            I     I I     I I     I I     I I     I I     I I     I I     I I     I
                  I                I            I     I I     I I     I I     I I     I I     I I     I I     I I     I
0 V               +--------~ ~-----+            +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+
                                                  BIT0    BIT1    BIT2    BIT3    BIT4    BIT5    BIT6    BIT7    BIT8

If modified by the readout interface to look like

2.5V +------~ ~---+                +-----~ ~----+     +-+     +-+     +-+     +-+     +-+     +-+     +-+     +-+     +------~
                  I                I            I     I I     I I     I I     I I     I I     I I     I I     I I     I
1.2V              I                I            I     I I     I +----++ I     I I     I I     I I     I I     I +----+I
                  I                I            I     I I     I      II I     I I     I I     I I     I I     I      II
0 V               +--------~ ~-----+            +-----+ +-----+      ++ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+      ++
                                                  BIT0    BIT1    BIT2    BIT3    BIT4    BIT5    BIT6    BIT7    BIT8

you'll get the whole text info..

On my site it works fine with a MZ-RH10 and a MZ-N1.
