During digital recording, the sound will be stereo in the headphones/earphones, even though the recorded sound is monaural. Momentary noise is heard when recording. • Due to the special digital audio compression technology used in LP4 stereo mode, momentary noise may occur on very rare occasions with certain sound sources. , Record in SP or LP2 mode. The lid does not open • The lid does not open until "SYSTEM FILE WRITING" after recording. disappears in the display. "TRACK FULL" appears even before the disc has reached the maximum recording time and the recording cannot be done. • This is due to the MiniDisc system limitation. When 254 tracks (on a standard disc) or 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 254 or 2,047 tracks cannot be recorded on the disc. , To continue recording, erase unnecessary tracks. The remaining recording time does not increase even after erasing numerous short tracks. • This is due to the MiniDisc system limitation (in MD mode only). Tracks of under 12 seconds (in SP stereo), 24 seconds (in LP2 stereo mode or monaural), or 48 seconds (in LP4 stereo mode) in length are not counted and so erasing them may not lead to an increase in the recording time. 86

Recording cannot be

done correctly.

•

Audio sources may not be securely connected.

Disconnect the audio sources once and connect them again

(pages 19 and 37).

•

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 (page 22).

•

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 38).

•

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.

Stereo sound is heard in

the headphones/

earphones while

recording in monaural.

•

This is normal. During digital recording, the sound will be stereo

in the headphones/earphones, even though the recorded sound is

monaural.

Momentary noise is

heard when recording.

•

Due to the special digital audio compression technology used in

LP4 stereo mode, momentary noise may occur on very rare

occasions with certain sound sources.

Record in SP or LP2 mode.

The lid does not open

after recording.

•

The lid does not open until “SYSTEM FILE WRITING”

disappears in the display.

“TRACK FULL”

appears even before the

disc has reached the

maximum recording

time and the recording

cannot be done.

•

This is due to the MiniDisc system limitation. When 254 tracks (on

a standard disc) or 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 254 or 2,047 tracks

cannot be recorded on the disc.

To continue recording, erase unnecessary tracks.

The remaining

recording time does not

increase even after

erasing numerous short

tracks.

•

This is due to the MiniDisc system limitation (in MD mode only).

Tracks of under 12 seconds (in SP stereo), 24 seconds (in LP2

stereo mode or monaural), or 48 seconds (in LP4 stereo mode) in

length are not counted and so erasing them may not lead to an

increase in the recording time.
