While recording
Symptom
Cause/Remedy
“NOT ENOUGH 
POWER TO REC” 
appears and recording 
cannot be done on a 
1GB Hi-MD disc.
• Recording is not possible when using a 1GB Hi-MD disc even when 
the battery level indication shows enough power remaining while the 
recorder is stopped or playing. This is because of a mechanism that 
disables recording when the remaining battery power is estimated by 
the recorder to be insufficient due to the high power consumption 
required for 1GB Hi-MD disc recording.
, Connect the AC power adaptor to the recorder or insert a fully 
charged rechargeable battery or a new alkaline dry battery.
The remaining recording 
time appears as “–00:00” 
and recording cannot be 
done, even though 
2.0MB of free space is 
displayed.
• This is a system limitation. 2.0MB is the capacity of the reserve 
domain.
The recorder always 
creates a new group 
when recording.
• The group recording (“Group REC”) is set to “On”. (You cannot 
overwrite tracks.)
, Set the group recording setting to “Off” (page 37).
The first few seconds of 
a track cannot be 
recorded.
• If you start recording before the x indication appears in the display, 
data will not be recorded to the first few seconds of the first track.
, Wait until the x indication appears before you start recording.
Recording cannot be 
done correctly.
• You tried to record in MD mode on this recorder.
, Only Hi-MD mode can be used to record directly on this 
recorder without using a computer. To record in MD mode, 
connect the recorder to a computer and use the supplied software 
(pages 22 and 30).
• Audio sources may not be securely connected.
, Disconnect the audio sources once and connect them again 
• There is no digital signal from the portable CD player.
, When recording digitally from a portable CD player, use the AC 
power adaptor and disable the anti-skip function (such as ESP) 
on the CD player.
• The analog recording was made using a connecting cord with an 
attenuator.
, Use a connecting cord without an attenuator.
• Recording level is too small to record (when adjusting the recording 
level manually).
, Pause the recorder and adjust the recording level (page 35).
• The recorder is connected to the computer.
, Disconnect the recorder from the computer when recording.
• The power sources was disconnected or a power outage occurred 
during recording.
, The recording result is not recorded on the disc. Make recording 
again.
