Cause/Remedy
• 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
recorder 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 recorder inserts a 2-second (or 4 -or 8-second) space in
between tracks during transfer operation. For this reason, the
recorder 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 75.
• You cannot operate the recorder while the recorder is connected
to the computer.
• It happens if you disconnect the dedicated USB cable in the
middle of a data transfer, recording, or editing operation on the
computer, but while the rechargeable battery is missing from the
recorder or is drained.
, Reconnect the dedicated USB cable or insert a fully charged
rechargeable battery into the recorder, and then press x.
Cause/Remedy
• You attempted to do a menu operation for the first time after
purchase of the recorder (by pressing the jog dial on the remote
control for 2 seconds or more or pressing MENU on the recorder).

• "Menu Mode" is set to "Simple".
, Set the "Menu Mode" to "Advanced" to display all the menu
