While recording

Symptom
The remaining
recording time appears
as "–0:00:00" and
recording cannot be
done, even though
2.0MB of free space is
displayed.
The recorder always
creates a new group
when recording.
The first few seconds of
a track cannot be
recorded.
Recording cannot be
done correctly.
Stereo sound is heard in
the headphones/
earphones while
recording in monaural.
Momentary noise is
heard when recording.
Cause/Remedy
• This is a system limitation. 2.0MB is the capacity of the reserve
domain.
• The group recording ("Group REC") is set to "GroupREC On".
(You cannot overwrite tracks.)
, Set the group recording setting to "GroupREC Off" (page 40).
• If you start recording while the disc indication is rotating, data will
not be recorded to the first few seconds of the first track.
, Wait until the disc indication stops rotating before you start
recording.
• Audio sources may not be securely connected.
, Disconnect the audio sources once and connect them again
(pages 20 and 36).
• There is no digital signal from the portable CD player.
, When recording digitally from a portable CD player, use the
AC power adaptor and disable the anti-skip function (such as
ESP) on the CD player (page 24).
• The analog recording was made using a connecting cord with an
attenuator.
, Use a connecting cord without an attenuator.
• Recording level is too small to record (when adjusting the
recording level manually).
, Pause the recorder and adjust the recording level (page 38).
• The recorder is connected to the computer.
, Disconnect the recorder from the computer when recording.
• The power sources was disconnected or a power outage occurred
during recording.
, The recording result is not recorded on the disc. Make
recording again.
• The premastered disc is inserted.
, Replace to the recordable disc.
• Recording may not be done if the remaining recordable time on the
disc is 48 seconds or less ("DISC FULL" appears).
, Replace the disc.
• This is normal. During digital recording, the sound will be stereo
in the headphones/earphones, even though the recorded sound is
monaural.
• Due to the special digital audio compression technology used in
LP4 stereo mode, momentary noise may occur on very rare
occasions with certain sound sources.
, Record in SP or LP2 mode.
