Details and responses
The DIVIDE function would cause the file name to exceed 197 characters. Before
choosing the DIVIDE function, connect the unit to a computer and edit the file
name to less than 196 characters.
The DIVIDE function would cause the file name to be the same as that of an
existing file in the same folder. The DIVIDE function adds "_a" or "_b" to the end of
the file name. Before choosing the DIVIDE function, connect the unit to a computer
and edit the file name.
The file added to the playlist cannot be found or a file could be damaged. Please
check that file.
The audio file is not a supported format. Please see "11 - Connecting with a
computer" for file formats that this unit can use.
The batteries are almost out of power. Replace the batteries.
The IN and OUT points are too close together. Set them with at least 1 second
between them.
A file in the Playlist cannot be found. Please confirm that the file is still in the Music

No files have been added to the Playlist. Add a file to the Playlist or change the play

Something might be wrong with the card. Change the card.
Writing to the SD card was not in time. This has caused audio to be interrupted and
noise to occur. A mark is added at the point when audio was interrupted.
SD card writing performance has become worse. A mark has been added at the
point when audio was interrupted because writing to the SD card timed out. Check
the audio around the mark.
Execute the full format function or change the SD card.
The card has no remaining capacity. Erase unnecessary files or move them to your
computer to make open space.
The selected division point is not suitable. (It is too close to the beginning or end of
the track.)
The file is larger than the designated size, or the recording time has exceeded 24
hours when the total number of folders and files was already at the limit (5000).
