MEDIA ERR nn Error due to media.
Try the following:
1) Clean the media or disk drive head.
2) Physically reformat the disk. See
“Physical Formatting for MO Disks” on
page 173. If the error persists, change
the media.
DRIVE ERR nn Error due to media or drive.
Reload the disk. If the error persists,
change the media. If that doesn’t fix it,
the drive may be broken, in which case
you should see your Yamaha dealer.
REC ERROR
An incorrectly recorded track has
been detected and its contents
may be distorted. This message
may appear after recording on a
disk containing heavily edited
tracks and is due to the D24’s disk
drive not been able to keep up
with the excessive workload.
Press the [UNDO] button to undo the
last recording, reduce the number of
tracks selected for simultaneous record-
ing, and try recording again. Temporarily
assigning unused virtual tracks to main
tracks is another way to reduce the D24’s
workload.
TOO SHORT The interval between the points is
too short.
For part editing, the minimum interval
between the start and end points is 15
ms. For punch in/out recording, the min-
imum interval is 15 ms. Increase the
interval as necessary.
DISK FULL There is no space available for
storing sound files.
Retrieve some disk space by using the
Optimize function. See “Recovering Disk
Space” on page 172 for more informa-
tion.
Delete or erase an unwanted project.
