		more away from the base frequency of
		44.1 kHz.

		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
		being made to rehearse track split

Disc Error		The disc is bad. If it is a CD-RW disc,
		you may refresh it (5.2.3, “Refreshing a
		disc”), otherwise replace the disc.
Erase Error!		An error has occurred while trying to

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 CD-R discs. The
	OPC area is full, and no further record-
	ing is possible on this disc. Finalize the
	disc.
OPC Area CLR	Seen when a CD-RW disc OPC area is
	full, and the CD-RW2000 automatically
	cleans up the OPC area for further
	recording.
Need Repair!	Current disc needs repair. Refresh the
	CD-RW disc using the procedure
	described in 5.2.3, “Refreshing a disc”.
System Err!	System error.
Tray Error!	Error in the tray mechanism.
Drive Error!	Error in the drive mechanism.
