If the recording does not start

•Make sure the recorder is not locked (pages 12, 15).

•Make sure the disc is not record-protected (pages 19, 65).

•Premastered discs cannot be recorded over.

Notes

•When you record on a 1GB Hi-MD disc, connect the AC power adaptor to the recorder, charge the rechargeable battery fully (battery

level indication shows ), or use a new alkaline dry battery (battery level indication

shows ). When you attempt to start recording on a 1GB Hi-MD disc, “NotENOUGH POWER TO REC” may appear and recording cannot be done even if the battery level indication shows sufficient remaining power 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.

•Make sure to place the recorder at a stable, vibration-free place during recording.

•If you start recording when the disc indication is still rotating in the display, the first few seconds of the material may not be recorded. Make sure that the disc indication has stopped rotating before you start recording.

•Do not change the rechargeable battery during operation even if the recorder is connected to AC power adaptor. The operation may stop.

•Do not move or jog the recorder or disconnect the power source while recording or “SYSTEM FILE WRITING” is flashing in the display. If you do, the data recorded up to that point may not be recorded to the disc, or data on the disc may be damaged. “SYSTEM FILE WRITING” flashes while data of the recording (the track’s start and end points, etc.) is being recorded.

•Recording cannot be done when the disc does not have enough space for recording.

•If the power supply is disrupted (i.e. the battery is removed or becomes exhausted or the AC power adaptor is disconnected) during a recording or editing operation, or while “SYSTEM FILE WRITING” appears in the display, then it will not be possible to open the lid until power is restored.

•Note the following when recording from a portable CD player:

—Some portable CD players may not be capable of digital out when the AC power adaptor is disconnected. If this is the case, connect the AC power adaptor to the portable CD player and use it on AC power as the power source.

—On some portable CD players, optical output may not be possible when using an anti-skip function (e.g., ESP* or G-PROTECTION). If this is the case, turn off the anti-skip function.

•The recorder is factory set to make a new

group whenever recording is done. If you do

not want to make a group, set “ :REC” to

“ :REC Off” (page 35).

•To start recording from a specific point on the disc, pause the recorder at the desired point, and then start recording from that point.

•You can monitor the sound during recording. Connect the headphones/earphones with remote control to i and adjust the volume by pressing the 5-way control key towards VOL + or – on the recorder (turning the volume control on the remote control). This does not affect the recording level.
