Message Cause/Remedy

Built‑In Memory Needs

to be Formatted  The IC recorder cannot be turned on using the computer

via USB connection because the IC recorder is formatted

with a computer and there is no copy of the control file

required for operation. Format the IC recorder using the

formatting function in the menu ( p. 78). Do not use

your computer to format the IC recorder.

microSD Card Needs to

be Formatted  The microSD card has been formatted with a computer

using a format that the IC recorder does not support.

Format the microSD card using the formatting function in

the menu ( p. 78).

Process Error  Save a backup copy of your data and format the IC recorder

using the menu ( p. 78). If a problem persists, consult

your nearest Sony dealer.

recorder is in the stop mode.

Set Date&Time  Set the clock; otherwise, you cannot set the alarm.

No File  The selected folder does not have any files. You cannot

move a file or set the alarm, etc., because of this.

mark or track marks, or divide a file at all the track mark

positions.

No microSD Card  There is no microSD card inserted into the microSD card

slot when you attempt to set the “Select Memory,” or “File

Copy” menus.

cannot erase it. Cancel the protection on the IC recorder or

cancel “Read only” on your computer to edit the file using

the IC recorder.

Already Set  Y

ou set the alarm to play back a file at a date and time

previously set on another file. Change the alarm setting.

it and set the appropriate date and time ( p. 52).
