Cause/Remedy
• Audio sources may not be securely connected.
, Disconnect the audio sources once and connect them again
(pages 17, 18, 21).
• 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.
• Recording level is too small to record (when adjusting the
recording level manually).
, Pause the recorder and adjust the recording level (page 31).
• 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.
• You tried to overwrite a track which is checked out from the
computer. (Tracks that are checked out from the computer
cannot be overwrite. The recording stops automatically.)
, Check back the checked out track into the computer.
, Record from the end of the disc.
• This is normal. During digital recording, the sound will be stereo
in the headphones/earphones, even though the recorded sound is
monaural.
• 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.
• The lid does not open until "TOC Edit" disappears in the
display.
