Cause/Remedy
• Audio sources may not be securely connected.
, Disconnect the audio sources once and connect them again
(pages 21, 22).
• There is no digital signal from the portable CD player.
, When recording digitally from a portable CD player, use
the AC power adaptor and disable the anti-skip function
(such as ESP) on the CD player (page 21).
• The analog recording was made using a connecting cord with
an attenuator.
, Use a connecting cord without an attenuator (page 22).
• The power sources was disconnected or a power outage
occurred during recording.
, The recording result is not recorded on the disc. Make
recording again.
• The premastered MD is inserted.
, Replace to the recordable MD.
• The remaining recordable time on the disc is 12 seconds or
less ("DISC FULL" appears).
, Replace the disc.
• Due to the special digital audio compression technology used
in LP4 stereo mode, momentary noise may occur on very rare
occasions with certain sound sources.
, Record in SP or LP2 mode (page 18).
• The lid does not open until "TOC Edit" disappears in the
display.
