While recording
Symptom
Cause/Remedy
“NOT ENOUGH
POWER TO REC”
appears and recording
cannot be done on a
1GB Hi-MD disc.
Recording is not possible when using a 1GB Hi-MD disc even when
the battery level indication shows enough power remaining while the
recorder is stopped or playing. This is because of a mechanism that
disables recording when the remaining battery power is estimated by
the recorder to be insufficient due to the high power consumption
required for 1GB Hi-MD disc recording.
,
Connect the AC power adaptor to the recorder or insert a fully
charged rechargeable battery or a new alkaline dry battery.
The remaining
recording time appears
as “–00:00” and

done, even though
2.0MB of free space is
displayed.

creates a new group
when recording.

overwrite tracks.)

(pages 21 and 34).
There is no digital signal from the portable CD player.

level manually).
