Cannot use the punch-in/out 
or ping-pong recording 
function!
In some cases, punch-in or ping-pong recording may not be possi-
ble on a song that was edited on an MD recorder other than the 
MD4S or the Yamaha MD8/MD4. Use the Song Copy function to 
copy the song, and perform the punch-in/out or ping-pong record-
ing operation on the copy.
If the song was recorded on an MD recorder other than the MD4S 
or the Yamaha MD8/MD4, it is possible that the song may be copy-
protected (by SCMS). In this case, it will not be possible to perform 
punch-in or ping-pong recording.
Recordings play back at the 
wrong pitch!
Make sure that the Pitch function is not set to VARI.
Make sure that the 1/2 Play function is turned off.
Cannot use Part Copy or Part 
Erase!
Make sure that the Last Record In/Out points have been set. If they 
have been set, the IN/OUT point indicators will light.
Make sure that the Last Record Out point has not been set in a loca-
tion earlier than the Last Record In point.
The signal of the input chan-
nel is not output from the 
AUX SEND jacks!
Rotate the AUX control toward 1 or 2, and raise the channel fader. 
Since the signal sent to the AUX SEND jacks is post-fader, no signal 
will be sent to the AUX SEND jacks unless the channel fader is raised.
Cannot play the Cue List!
Make sure not all steps in the Cue List are set for zero repeats (n=0).
Make sure that the specified ranges within the cue list are correct.
Make sure that no non-existent markers are selected in the cue list.
MIDI sequencer does not 
synchronize to the MD4S!
Make sure that your MIDI sequencer supports MTC or MIDI Clock.
Make sure that the MIDI sequencer has been set to synchronize to 
incoming MTC or MIDI Clock messages.
If you are using MIDI Clock, make sure that a tempo map has been 
programmed in the MD4S.
(If the measure/beat display does not appear when you press the 
DISPLAY button, a tempo map has not been set.)
Make sure that the MD4S has been set to transmit MTC or MIDI 
Clock messages from its MIDI OUT connector. When MTC is being 
transmitted, the MTC SYNC MASTER indicator will light. When MIDI 
Clock is being transmitted, the MIDI CLK indicator will light.
Make sure that X1/2 Play is turned off. If X1/2 Play is on, synchroni-
zation is not possible.
If you are using a Repeat function such as A-B Repeat, some time 
may be required for the MIDI sequencer to synchronize during a 
repeat, due to the slowness of the MD4S locate function.
