MD SYSTEM LIMITATIONS The recording system in your MD recorder is radically different from those used in cassette and DAT decks and is characterized by the limitations described below. Note, however, that these limitations are inherent to the MD recording system and are not a result of mechanical trouble.
DISPLAY MESSAGES Can’t copy Digital recording cannot be performed. (See “COPY PROTECTION (SCMS)” on this page.) Can’t edit! Edit operations are not possible. Can’t REC! Recording is not possible. The loaded disc may be protected or there may not be enough blank space remaining on the disc.
If your MD recorder fails to operate normally, check the following table. It lists common operating errors and simple measures which you can take to correct the problem. If it cannot be corrected, or the symptom is not listed, disconnect the recorder’s power cord and contact your authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center for help. Symptom The unit does not respond to operations.
