Cause
If you're using a monaural mic, only the L (left) channel will be recorded.
If you use an external mic, check whether the mic is stereo or monaural.
In order to record onto both channels using a monaural mic, use the "MIC
TYPE" screen to set the external mic type to "MONO. "
Recording will not be possible if the SD card has less than 16 kilobytes of
free space. Nor can you enter recording-standby mode.
If PRE-REC is on, the sound will be recorded starting two seconds before
you press the [ ] button.
Recording will start automatically when the unit detects input that is above
a certain level, if the automatic recording start feature is on.
The sound will be distorted if the input level or the input sens is too high.
Adjust the recording level appropriately.
If you inadvertently disconnect the adaptor or remove the SD card during
recording, the project will be damaged and cannot be played. In some
cases you may be able to use the project Repair function to recover it.
Recording is not possible if the SD card is not inserted correctly. Turn off the
power, and re-insert the SD card.
If the SD card has not been formatted, it will not be recognized, and the
display will indicate "SD Unformatted. " Please format the SD card.
The SD card will not work properly unless it was formatted on the R-26.
If the card was formatted using a computer, it might have the wrong
format. In this case, it might stop immediately after recording is started, or
recording might not occur correctly.
Recording is not possible if the SD card is write-protected (LOCK). Turn off
write protection.
Recording will not occur correctly if the recording level is too low. Set the
recording level appropriately.
The R-26 will automatically divide the project if the file currently being
recorded exceeds a specified size, or if the recording level falls below a
specified level. Set the Split Type setting to specify the file size or recording
level at which the file is to be automatically divided.
Could you be using a connection cable that contains a resistor?
Use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor.
In order for sound to be received from a condenser mic, phantom power
must be turned on. Turn on phantom power.
