Display the message using Windows Explorer
and remove the check for “Read-only“ under
“Properties“.
•The remaining memory is too short. The
overwritten part will be deleted after the
overwriting part finishes recording. Therefore,
you can only overwrite within the remaining
recording time.
•At a factory setting, REC-OP is set to OFF.
Display the menu and set the REC-OP to ON
(page 50) .

activated. Set the VOR to OFF.
•An object, such as your finger, etc., accidentally
rubbed or scratched the unit during recording
so that noise was recorded.
•The unit was placed near an AC power source,
a fluorescent lamp or a mobile phone during
recording or playback.
•Plug of the connected microphone was dirty
when recording. Clean the plug.
•The i (headphones) plug is dirty. Clean the

•SENS (microphone sensitivity) is set to L.
Display the menu and set SENS to H or M
(page 52).
•This unit is designed to automatically adjust
the recording level when recording meetings,
