Cause/Remedy
• 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.
, Adjust the recording level manually while recording (page 31).
• AVLS is on.
, Release AVLS settings (page 64).
• The "CUSTOM1" or "CUSTOM2" on "SOUND" settings are
being applied.
, This is not malfuntion. When either of these settings is applied,
the maximum volume setting will be limited to a certain level
("VOL 24") to prevent excessive loudness.
• The headphones/earphones plug is not firmly connected.
, Plug in the plug of the headphones/earphones firmly to the
remote control. Plug in the plug of the remote control firmly to
i/LINE OUT.
• The plug is dirty.
, Clean the plug.
• The "AUDIO OUT" parameter is set to "LINE OUT".
, Set to "HeadPhone".
• The "AUDIO OUT" parameter is set to "HeadPhone".
, Set to "LINE OUT".
• The "AUDIO OUT" parameter is set to "LINE OUT".
, Set to "HeadPhone".
• The group skip is on.
, The recorder returns to normal if no operation is made for 5
seconds.
• 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.
