Cause/Remedy
• The dedicated USB cable is not firmly connected.
, Connect the dedicated USB cable firmly to the player and the
computer.
• A USB hub is used.
, Connect the dedicated USB cable directly to the USB port of the
computer.
• Network communication has failed.
, Disconnect the dedicated USB cable, wait at least 2 seconds, and
then reconnect it. If the player is still not recognized, disconnect the
dedicated USB cable, restart the computer, and then connect the
dedicated USB cable again
• A USB hub is used.
, Connect the dedicated USB cable directly to the USB port of the
computer.
• You are using the player at a place with vibration.
, Use the player at a place with no vibration.
• The SonicStage or MD Simple Burner software is active.
, Close the SonicStage or MD Simple Burner software.
• A standard disc is inserted.
, Insert a disc used in Hi-MD mode. Only discs used in Hi-MD mode
can be used as a storage media.
This is due to a calculation discrepancy between the recorder and the
computer.
• The minimum recordable time on a disc is normally 2 seconds in
stereo, 4 seconds in LP2 stereo mode, and 8 seconds in LP4 stereo
mode. When you transfer a track from your computer, the player needs
a 2-second (or 4- or 8-second) space for a track even if the track is
under 2 seconds (or 4 or 8 seconds) in length. Also, the player inserts a
2-second (or 4 -or 8-second) space in between tracks during transfer
operation. For this reason, the player needs an additional 6 seconds (or
12 or 24 seconds) for each track. This reduces the maximum recording
time for each track by 6 seconds (or 12 or 24 seconds) during transfer
operation (in MD mode only).
• The difference is due to the use of the binary system to indicate the disc
size on the computer and the decimal system to express the disc size on
the disc and other recording media. For details on the disc size, see
page 37.
