with operation.
, Move the recorder away from the source of strong magnetism.
• The track was recorded in analog mode (in digital mode, the
recording level is automatically set to the same level as that of the
sound source). Or you used a connecting cord with an attenuator.
, Use a correct connecting cord without an attenuator.
• The recording level was low.

fragmentation of data may cause sound dropout while searching
because the tracks are played in higher speed than normal
playback.

connected with a monaural cord.
, Make sure to use a stereo connecting cord. If, however, the
connected equipment is monaural, there will be no R-channel
sound output even with a stereo connecting cord.
• You tried to play an MP3 track with a format not supported by this
recorder.
, This recorder only supports MP3 tracks (MPEG-1 Audio
Layer-3/Sampling frequency 44.1 kHz) that have been
transferred using the SonicStage software.

during recorder playback are ready to be written to the disc.

are written to the disc and the "R" disappears.
