Remedy
• You may have formatted the memory of the IC recorder using the
computer. Use the IC recorder formatting function to format the
memory (page 80).
• The batteries are weak (page 13).
• The power to the IC recorder is off. Slide the HOLD•POWER
ON/OFF switch in the direction of "POWER ON/OFF" for more
than 1 second (page 14).
• The HOLD function is activated. Slide the HOLD•POWER ON/
OFF switch in the center direction (page 11).
• The volume is turned down completely (page 25).
• Headphones are plugged in (page 47).
• When audio output of an external device is monaural and the
recording mode is set to "128kbps" (STSP) or "192kbps" (ST),
sounds are recorded only in one channel. In this case, set the
recording mode to "48kbps(MONO)" (SP) or "8kbps(MONO)"
(LP), or use a commercially-available plug adaptor to convert
monaural sound to stereo sounds.
• If you plug in a pair of headphones (not supplied) not securely
during playback, the sound may come from the speaker. Unplug
the headphones, and then insert them securely.
• "LED" is set to "OFF." Display the menu and set "LED" to "ON"
(page 77).
• The memory is full. Erase some of the files (page 29) or erase all
the files after you store them on the other memory media or on
your computer.
