Cause/Remedy
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 SP
mode, 4 seconds in LP2 mode, and 8 seconds in LP4 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 64.
• 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 MENU button for 2 seconds or more).
, Select the Menu mode (page 56).
• "Menu Mode" is set to "Simple".
, Set the "Menu Mode" to "Advanced" to display all the menu items.
• The rechargeable battery is not charged.
, Charge the rechargeable battery.
• The volume is low.
, Turn up the volume.
• No disc is inserted.
, Insert a recorded disc.
• The HOLD function is turned on ("HOLD" appears in the display when
you press an operation button on the recorder).
, On the recorder, disable HOLD by sliding the HOLD switch to the
opposite direction of the arrow (pages 14, 18) .
