The following messages may appear on the display under certain circumstances. The meaning of these messages, and any countermeasures which are appro- priate are given here.

Message	Meaning and countermeasure (if
	appropriate)
	The disc has been inserted, and the disc
READING	information is being read by the
	CD-RW5000.
	Optimal Power Calibration is in progress
	(a recordable disc has been inserted, and
OPC	the CD-RW5000 is adjusting its internal
	mechanism to match the disc
	characteristics.)
	No disc is loaded into the CD-RW5000.
NO DISC	You may also see this message if you
	load a disc upside-down or load a dirty
	disc.
	After recording has finished, the
	CD-RW5000 updates a temporary table of
UPDATE	contents, and displays this message. This
	is not the same as the permanent table of
	contents produced by a finalizing
	operation.
WAIT	The CD-RW5000 is busy with an internal
	operation.
	More than 20 tracks have been
FULL	programmed for programmed playback
	(see 3.3.1, "Programmed playback").
CD FULL	No more space is left for recording on the

EMPTY	is not possible to write a table of contents
	for an empty disc!
	Sync start has been selected to
	synchronize recording with a digital audio
INPUT	source (4.2, "Recording from digital
	sources") but a digital source has not
	been selected as the input.
	The OPC operation has been carried out
FINAL	more than 96 times; this is a warning to
	you that the disc must now be finalized.
	The data on the disc was corrupted,
	possibly due to a power failure during a
RECOVER	write operation. The CD-RW5000 is
	attempting to restore the corrupted data
	so that the disc can be used.

Message	Meaning and countermeasure (if
	appropriate)
	The OPC operation has failed when the
	disc is inserted. This may be due to the
	disc having been inserted more than 99
OPC FAIL	times, or it may be that the disc is dirty. If
	you know that the disc has not been
	inserted more than 99 times, clean the
	disc using the methods described in 1.1,
	"About CD-R and CD-RW discs".
	The CD-RW5000 has failed its self-check
	operation. Remove any disc, turn off the
SERVICE	CD-RW5000, wait a few seconds and turn
	it back on again. If this message appears
	again, contact your TASCAM service
	center.
