Verify that the AC-DC power adapter is plugged into non-switched AC power outlet.
Verify that the power connector is plugged completely into the jack on the DV-2000
MTS/LR.
The system ejects the tape immediately after it is loaded.

If it is an endless loop tape.
The Record LED never comes on after the cassette tape is loaded into the system
Verify that the tape was inserted right side up.
If the tape is blank, the Record LED will never come on.
Verify that the nominal level of the Audio recorded on the tape is over –20dB.
After recording the tape, the tape ejected, and the system is not playing a message.
Pressing, and holding the edit/eject button while recording will eject the tape immediately.
Verify that the tape was inserted right side up.
If there is no audio on the tape, it will eject automatically when it reaches the end of the
tape.
Can't hear anything from the audio output
If both Record and M-O-H LEDs are off, there is no audio being output by the system.
Verify that the RCA to RCA connector is securely attached to the DV-2000 MTS/LR and the
phone system.

multiple messages can get grouped into a single message location on the system.
If in Append/Replace mode, the tape has more messages on it than there are locations
enabled or available on the system.

6. Audio Tape Production Format:

Messages must be recorded on the left channel or track A.
The length of individual messages do not have to be the same, but the total length of all
messages should not exceed the total memory capacity of the unit.
The silence portion between messages is not included in the maximum recording time.
The audio should be set to a nominal level of 0VU = -4dBm.
For best results, the audio should be filtered to cutoff any frequencies higher than 6.8kHz for
the PRO version.
The dynamic range of the production should be held low so as to allow the production to be
recorded at the highest possible level without exceeding +5VU = +1dBm.
The system requires 1 seconds of constant audio at a level greater than -20dBm for the
system to acknowledge the production and start recording. This is required so that the
system can discriminate between tape noise and message material.
