ing) |
| |
|
| |
No meter indication | Analog and/or digital volume (4.1.1, | |
when a source is | “Signal volume”) is set too low. The sig- | |
input | nal is being input through an unselected | |
|
| input source (4.1, “Input selection”). |
|
|
|
A digital input source has been | ||
|

| |
The recording level | When recording from digital sources, | |
suddenly jumps (up | the digital direct mode bypasses the | |
or down) when | digital level (4.1.1, “Signal volume”), so | |
switching to or from | that if this has been set to a | |
digital direct mode | value, the level will be different. See | |
|
| 4.3.3, “Digital direct”. |

|
PGM Full ! | An attempt has been made to create | |
|
| |
|
| more than 25 program steps. |
|
|
|
Disc Full! or | There is no space on the disc, or no | |
Cannot Rec! | tracks are available, or a general record- | |

|
|
Word CLK Err | An external word sync clock has been | |
|
| |
|
| selected (see 2.4.1, “Word sync con- |
|
| nections”), but no word clock source is |
|
| available or the word clock is ±7% or |
|
| more away from the base frequency of |
|
| 44.1 kHz. |
|
|
|
Not FS 44.1k! | You are trying to do digital direct record- | |
|
| |
|
| ing from a source which has not been |
|
| recorded at 44.1 kHz (4.3.3, “Digital |
|
| direct”). |
|
|
|
No Inc Mode | Auto track is not on when an attempt is | |

| times. |
|
|
|
Disc Error | The disc is bad. If it is a | |
|
| |
|
| you may refresh it (5.2.3, “Refreshing a |
|
| disc”), otherwise replace the disc. |
|
|
|
Erase Error! | An error has occurred while trying to | |
|
| |
|
| erase the disc. |
|
|
|
The display suddenly | Either the disc is full (this message will | |

|
| than 99 tracks. |
|
|
|
Symptom | Possible cause and remedy |
|
|
Rec Error | General recording error. This may be |
| |
| caused by vibration or a shock during |
| recording, for example, or may be the |
| result of a bad disc. Try recording again |
| with the same disc. If the message |
| appears again, try a different disc. |
|
|
No OPC Area! | Appears only with |
| |
| OPC area is full, and no further record- |
| ing is possible on this disc. Finalize the |
| disc. |
|
|
OPC Area CLR | Seen when a |
| |
| full, and the |
| cleans up the OPC area for further |
| recording. |
|
|
Need Repair! | Current disc needs repair. Refresh the |
