No meter indication Analog and/or digital volume (4.1.1,
when a source is "Signal volume") is set too low. The sig-

input source (4.1, "Input selection").
A digital input source has been
selected, but the source is not con-
nected or is not switched on.

The recording level When recording from digital sources,
suddenly jumps (up the digital direct mode bypasses the
or down) when digital level (4.1.1, "Signal volume"), so
switching to or from that if this has been set to a non-zero
digital direct mode value, the level will be different. See
4.3.3, "Digital direct".
An attempt has been made to create
more than 25 program steps.
or There is no space on the disc, or no
tracks are available, or a general record-
ing error has occurred.
An external word sync clock has been
selected (see 2.4.1, "Word sync con-
nections"), but no word clock source is
available or the word clock is ±7% or
more away from the base frequency of
44.1 kHz.
You are trying to do digital direct record-
ing from a source which has not been
recorded at 44.1 kHz (4.3.3, "Digital
direct").
Auto track is not on when an attempt is
being made to rehearse track split
times.
The disc is bad. If it is a CD-RW disc,
you may refresh it (5.2.3, "Refreshing a
disc"), otherwise replace the disc.

Symptom Possible cause and remedy
General recording error. This may be
caused by vibration or a shock during
recording, for example, or may be the
result of a bad disc. Try recording again
with the same disc. If the message
appears again, try a different disc.
Appears only with CD-R discs. The
OPC area is full, and no further record-
ing is possible on this disc. Finalize the
disc.
Seen when a CD-RW disc OPC area is
full, and the CD-RW2000 automatically
cleans up the OPC area for further
recording.
Current disc needs repair. Refresh the
CD-RW disc using the procedure
described in 5.2.3, "Refreshing a disc".
System error.
Error in the tray mechanism.
Error in the drive mechanism.
