Additional Information
Remedy
• The MD is record-protected ("Protected"
appears). Close the record-protect slot.
• The track has been protected using another MD
recorder ("Trk Protect" appears). Release the
track-protect on the same MD recorder that
protected the track.
• The player is not connected properly to the
sound source. Make connections properly to
the sound source.
• A pre-mastered MD is inserted. Replace it with
a recordable MD.
• There is not enough space left on the MD.
Replace it with another recordable MD with
enough space, or erase unnecessary tracks.
• There has been a power failure or the mains
lead has been disconnected. Data recorded to
that point may be lost. Repeat the recording
procedure.
• The sound was recorded at high volume.
Record again at lower volume.
• Press MONO/ST until "STEREO" appears in the
display (page 11).
• The FM stereo broadcast may be noisy (page
11).
• Move the player away from the TV.
• If you are using the remote while listening to an
MW/LW radio, noise may be heard. This is
unavoidable.
• Move the MW/LW loop aerial away from the
player.
• Make sure the time on the clock is correct.
• Check to see if the AC power had been cut off.
• Make sure "TIMER REC" or "TIMER PLAY"
appears in the display.
• Check and change the preset start/stop time if
both times are set to the same time.
