What Error Messages Tell You - Yamaha MDF3 Owner's Manual

W E M
HAT RROR
This appendix describes the error messages that can occur while you're us-
ing the MDF3, and give you advice on how to solve problems as they occur.
Disk access errors:
!~Play~only~disk
You have tried to record SEQ data to a
disk containing only files created by other
devices. As a result, the MDF3 has de-
termined that the disk can only be used
for playing back sequence data.
Replace the disk with an empty disk, or
one which contains sequence data files
recorded by the MDF3 (or MDF2).
Note:
The MDF3 will only record sequence
data to empty disks or disks that already con-
tain files bearing the ".X??" extension. If all
of the sequence files on a disk have exten-
sions other than ".X??", the MDF3 will de-
cide that the disk can be used for sequence
data playback only.
T Y
ESSAGES ELL OU
!~~~~Memory~Full
The MDF3 has run out of disk space
while recording SEQ data or receiving
MDR data.
If this message appears while recording
SEQ data, the MDF3 will create a SEQ
file containing the data that it receives
before the error occurred. If the message
appears while receiving MDR data, all
of the received data will be lost.
Use a disk with enough available space.
Check the amount of space remaining
on a disk before receiving or recording.
!~~Disk~protect
The disk in the drive is write-protected,
and so the MDF3 cannot receive, record,
rename, copy, or delete data on that disk.
Move the write-protect tap up to enable
the MDF3 to write data to the disk.
!~~No~disk
A floppy disk has not been inserted into
the disk drive. Insert a disk which has
been formatted by the MDF3 (or MDF2).
