Case and/or corrective action
 Strong magnetism from a television or such device is interfering
with operation. Move the recorder away from the source of strong
magnetism.
 The track was recorded in analog mode or you used a connecting
cord with an attenuator. Use a correct connecting cord without an
attenuator.
 The recording level was low. Adjust the recording level manually
while recording (  page 52).
 "AVLS" is set to "On" ("AVLS On" on the remote). Set to "Off"
("AVLS Off" on the remote) (  page 58).
 The earphones plug is not firmly connected. Plug in the plug of the
earphones firmly to the recorder.
 The plug is dirty. Clean the plug.
 The component does not support Hi-MD. Discs used in Hi-MD
mode can be played only on components that supports Hi-MD.
 This occurs due to the MiniDisc system limitation. The
fragmentation of data may cause sound dropout while searching
because the tracks are played in higher speed than normal
playback.

is connected with a monaural cord. Make sure to use a stereo
