Sony Walkman MZ-RH710 Operating Instructions Manual page 69

Symptom
Recording cannot be
done correctly.
The lid does not open
after recording.
"TRACK FULL"
appears even before the
disc has reached the
maximum recording
time and the recording
cannot be done.
The remaining
recording time does not
increase even after
erasing numerous short
tracks.
Cause/Remedy
• You tried to record in MD mode on this recorder.
, Only Hi-MD mode can be used to record directly on this
recorder without using a computer. To record in MD mode,
connect the recorder to a computer and use the supplied
software (pages 19 and 27).
• Audio sources may not be securely connected.
, Disconnect the audio sources once and connect them again
(pages 18 and 29).
• There is no digital signal from the portable CD player.
, When recording digitally from a portable CD player, use the
AC power adaptor and disable the anti-skip function (such as
ESP) on the CD player.
• The analog recording was made using a connecting cord with an
attenuator.
, Use a connecting cord without an attenuator.
• Recording level is too small to record (when adjusting the
recording level manually).
, Pause the recorder and adjust the recording level (page 31).
• The recorder is connected to the computer.
, Disconnect the recorder from the computer when recording.
• The power sources was disconnected or a power outage occurred
during recording.
, The recording result is not recorded on the disc. Make
recording again.
• The premastered disc is inserted.
, Replace to the recordable disc.
• Recording may not be done if the remaining recordable time on the
disc is 48 seconds or less ("DISC FULL" appears).
, Replace the disc.
• The lid does not open until "SYSTEM FILE WRITING"
disappears in the display.
• This is due to the MiniDisc system limitation. When 2,047 tracks
(on a disc used in Hi-MD mode) have been recorded on the disc,
"TRACK FULL" appears regardless of the total recorded time.
More than 2,047 tracks cannot be recorded on the disc.
, To continue recording, erase unnecessary tracks.
• This is due to the MiniDisc system limitation (in MD mode only).
Tracks of under 12 seconds (in SP mode), 24 seconds (in LP2
mode or monaural), or 48 seconds (in LP4 mode) in length are not
counted and so erasing them may not lead to an increase in the
recording time.
