Cause/Remedy
• A USB hub is used.
, Connect the dedicated USB cable directly to the USB port of the
computer.
• You are using the recorder at a place with vibration.
, Use the recorder at a place with no vibration.
• The SonicStage or MD Simple Burner software is active.
, Close the SonicStage or MD Simple Burner software.
• A standard disc 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 recorder and the
computer.
• The minimum recordable time on a disc is normally 2 seconds in
stereo, 4 seconds in LP2 stereo mode, and 8 seconds in LP4 stereo
mode. When you transfer a track from your computer, the recorder
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 recorder
inserts a 2-second (or 4 -or 8-second) space in between tracks during
transfer operation. For this reason, the recorder 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).
• The difference is due to the use of the binary system to indicate the
disc size on the computer and the decimal system to express the disc
size on the disc and other recording media. For details on the disc size,
see page 77.
• You cannot operate the recorder while the recorder is connected to the
computer.
• It happens if you disconnect the dedicated USB cable in the middle of a
data transfer, recording, or editing operation on the computer, but while
the rechargeable battery is missing from the recorder or is drained.
, Reconnect the dedicated USB cable or insert a fully charged
rechargeable battery into the recorder, and then press x.
