If the recording does not start
• Make sure the recorder is not locked (pages
14, 17).
• Make sure the disc is not record-protected
(pages 20, 82).
• Premastered discs cannot be recorded over.
• When you record on a 1GB Hi-MD disc,
connect the AC power adaptor to the recorder
or use a new alkaline dry battery (battery level
indication shows
). When you attempt to
start recording on a 1GB Hi-MD disc,
“NotENOUGH POWER TO REC” may
appear and recording cannot be done even if
the battery level indication shows sufficient
remaining power 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.
• Before making a recording while using the AC
power adaptor, always insert a new alkaline
dry battery into the recorder first to ensure that
the recording operation completes
successfully.
• Make sure to place the recorder at a stable,
vibration-free place during recording.
• If you start recording when the disc indication
is still rotating in the display, the first few
seconds of the material may not be recorded.
Make sure that the disc indication has stopped
rotating before you start recording.
• Do not change the dry battery during
operation even if the recorder is connected to
AC power adaptor. The operation may stop.
• Do not move or jog the recorder or disconnect
the power source while recording or
“SYSTEM FILE WRITING” is flashing in the
display. If you do, the data recorded up to that
point may not be recorded to the disc, or data
on the disc may be damaged. “SYSTEM FILE
WRITING” flashes while data of the
recording (the track’s start and end points,
etc.) is being recorded.
• Recording cannot be done when the disc does
not have enough space for recording.
• If the power supply is disrupted (i.e. the
battery is removed or becomes exhausted or
the AC power adaptor is disconnected) during
a recording or editing operation, or while
“SYSTEM FILE WRITING” appears in the
display, then it will not be possible to open the
lid until power is restored.
• Note the following when recording from a
portable CD player:
—Some portable CD players may not be
capable of digital out when the AC power
adaptor is disconnected. If this is the case,
connect the AC power adaptor to the
portable CD player and use it on AC power
as the power source.
—On some portable CD players, optical
output may not be possible when using an
anti-skip function (e.g., ESP* or
G-PROTECTION). If this is the case, turn
off the anti-skip function.

• The recorder is factory set to make a new
group whenever recording is done. If you do
not want to make a group, set “
:REC” to
“ :REC Off” (page 41).
• To start recording from a specific point on the
disc, pause the recorder at the desired point,
and then start recording from that point.
• You can monitor the sound during recording.
Connect the headphones/earphones with
remote control to i and adjust the volume by
pressing VOL + or – on the remote control
(pressing the 5-way control key towards VOL
+ or – on the recorder). This does not affect
the recording level.
