ˎ ˎ
recorder (e.g., a file transferred from a computer).

ˎ ˎ
first.

An object, such as your finger, etc., accidentally rubbed or scratched the
ˎ ˎ
linear PCM recorder during recording so that noise was recorded.
Noise may occur if many small-sized files are recorded in the current
ˎ ˎ
memory. Save the files on the hard disk of your computer (page 64), and
then format the memory (page 75).
The linear PCM recorder was placed near an AC source, a fluorescent lamp,
ˎ ˎ
or a mobile phone during recording or playback. Move the linear PCM
recorder away from them.
