Cause/Remedy
• The dedicated USB cable is not firmly connected.
, Connect the dedicated USB cable firmly to the player and the
computer.
• A USB hub is used.
, Connect the dedicated USB cable directly to the USB port of the
computer.
• Network communication has failed.
, Disconnect the dedicated USB cable, wait at least 2 seconds, and
then reconnect it. If the player is still not recognized, disconnect the
dedicated USB cable, restart the computer, and then connect the
dedicated USB cable again.
• When using Windows 2000 Professional, you turned on or restarted the
computer while the dedicated USB cable was connected, and then
disconnected it afterwards.
, Disconnect the dedicated USB cable, restart the computer, and then
reconnect the dedicated USB cable. This problem may be resolved
by updating your Windows operating system so that it contains all
the latest features.
• A USB hub is used.
, Connect the dedicated USB cable directly to the USB port of the
computer.
• You are using the player at a place with vibration.
, Use the player at a place with no vibration.
• The SonicStage or MD Simple Burner software is active.
, Close the SonicStage or MD Simple Burner software.
• A disc which is not used in Hi-MD mode is inserted.
, Insert a disc used in Hi-MD mode. Only discs used in Hi-MD mode
can be used as a storage media.
This is due to a calculation discrepancy between the player and the
computer.
• The minimum recordable time on a disc is normally 2 seconds in SP
mode, 4 seconds in LP2 mode, and 8 seconds in LP4 mode. When you
transfer a track from your computer, the player needs a 2-second (or 4-
or 8-second) space for a track even if the track is under 2 seconds (or 4
or 8 seconds) in length. Also, the player inserts a 2-second (or 4 -or 8-
second) space in between tracks during transfer operation. For this
reason, the player needs an additional 6 seconds (or 12 or 24 seconds)
for each track. This reduces the maximum recording time for each track
by 6 seconds (or 12 or 24 seconds) during transfer operation (in MD
mode only).
