Messages

If the recorder cannot carry out an operation, error messages may flash in the display window as follows.

BLANK DISC :

You tried to play an MD with no recording on it.

DISC ERR :

The recorder cannot read the MD (it is scratched or dirty). Reinsert the MD. If the same message still appears, replace the MD.

DISC FULL :

There is no more space to record on the MD.

Data Save:

The MD recorder is recording information (sounds) from the memory to the disc. Wait until this process is completed. Do not expose the recorder to any physical shock, nor disrupt power supply.

TOC Edit :

The MD recorder is recording information (track start and end position) from the memory to the disc. Wait until this process is completed. Do not expose the recorder to physical shock, nor disrupt power supply.

BUSY :

You tried to operate the recorder while it was accessing the recorded data. Wait until the message goes out (in rare cases, it may take a few minutes).

NAME FULL :

You tried to enter more than 200 letters to label a single track or disc.

You tried to enter a total of more than 1700 letters for track or disc names.

Hi DC in :

The power supply is higher than required. Use the recommended power sources.

HOLD :

You tried to operate the recorder with the HOLD switch slid in the direction of the arrow. Slide back the switch.

LOW BATT :

The rechargeable battery or dry battery is weak. Charge the rechargeable battery or replace the dry battery.

MEM OVER :

You started recording with the recorder receiving continuous vibration. Put the recorder on the stable place and start recording again.

NO COPY :

You tried to make a copy from a disc that is protected by the Serial Copy Management System. You cannot make copies from a digitally connected source which was itself recorded using the digital connection. Use the analog connection instead.

NO DISC :

You tried to play or record with no disc in the recorder.

NO SIGNAL :

The recorder could not detect digital input signals. Make sure that the source is connected firmly. If the message appears while recording, press x to end recording.

P/B ONLY :

You tried to record or edit on a premastered MD (P/B stands for playback).

PROTECTED :

You tried to record or edit on an MD with its tab in the record-protect position.

SORRY :

You tired to set Digital Sound Preset while the “AUDIO OUT” parameter is set to “LINE OUT.” Use the jog lever (L) to set the “AUDIO OUT” parameter to “HeadPhone.”

You tried to erase a track mark while playing the MD or at the beginning of the first track.

You tried to erase a track mark to combine tracks the recorder cannot combine (a track recorded in different recording mode such as in LP2 and LP4, or a track recorded through analog connection and digital connection)*. You tried to overwrite a track marrk. You tried to press X, T MARK or REC MODE while synchro-recording or the joint text function is active.

*If you have recorded or erased many times on the same MD, the data of a single track may be scattered throughout the MD. When the data is scattered in groups of less than 12 seconds long, the recorder will not be able to combine the tracks.

TEMP OVER :

Heat has built up in the recorder. Wait until the recorder cools down.
