Cause/Solution
The write-protect switch on the inserted "Memory Stick PRO (High Speed)"
is set to "LOCK." Release the lock.
When you use a Windows computer, the track or the folder containing the
track is set to "Read-only" in the computer. Display the track or the folder
using Windows Explorer and remove the check for "Read-only" under
"Properties."
When you use a Mac computer, the track or the folder containing the track
is set to "Locked" in the computer. Display the track or the folder on Mac
Desktop and remove the check for "Locked" under "GetInfo" of "File."
The remaining battery power is insufficient. Connect the AC power adaptor
to the recorder (page 20), charge the batteries, or replace them with new
ones (page 19).
An object, such as your finger, etc., accidentally rubbed or scratched the
recorder during recording so that noise was recorded.
Noise may occur if many low volume files are recorded in the current
memory. Save the tracks to the hard disk of your computer (page 30), and
then format the memory (page 36).
The recorder was placed near an AC power source, a fluorescent lamp or a
mobile phone during recording or playback.
Noise may occur if the plug of the connected external microphone was
dirty when recording. Clean the plug.
Noise may occur if the plug of the connected headphones/earphones is
dirty during playback or monitoring the recording sound. Clean the plug.
The MIC/LINE IN switch is in the wrong position. Set it to the position that
corresponds to the sound source and connections (page 15).
The recording level is too high. Adjust the recording level to an appropriate
range (page 24).
The sound source is too loud when recording with an external microphone.
Set the MIC ATT switch to the "20" position (page 23), or move the
microphone away from the sound source.
The sound source has parts that are too loud. Set the "LIMITER" item to
"ON" in the menu display (page 35).
When monitoring the recording sound with headphones or earphones, they
are placed too close to the microphone. Decrease the sound level from
headphones or keep the microphone away from them.
Set the clock (page 21). The date and time of recording are displayed after
the clock is set.
Some menu items are not displayed during playback or recording (page
35).
