Troubleshooting (continued)
Symptom Cause/Solution
There are fewer menu
items in the menu
display. Some menu items are not displayed during playback or recording (page
41). 
A character in a folder
or track name is
displayed in unreadable
characters. The recorder cannot support or display some special characters and
symbols that are entered on a computer using Windows Explorer or the
Macintosh Desktop. 
The “ACCESSING
MEMORY...” display
does not disappear. If the recorder is required to process a large amount of data, the message
may be displayed for an extended period of time. This is not a malfunction
of the recorder. Wait until the message disappears. In this case, do not
remove the batteries or AC power adapter. 
You cannot record
tracks up to the
maximum recording
time noted on page 57. If there are other formatted data (for example, images) saved in the
memory, you cannot record tracks up to the maximum.
A “Memory Stick” requires a minimum amount of memory, even when
recording very short tracks. As a result, the actual total recording time of
the “Memory Stick” may be shorter than the maximum recording time of
the recorder.
The maximum recording time indicated on page 57 is estimated. It varies
depending on the number of tracks.
Due to the limitations of the recording system, the sum of the total
recorded time in the counter (elapsed time) and the remaining time may be
shorter than the maximum recording time of the recorder.
Even when “MEMORY FULL” is displayed and the recorder stops
recording, the recorder has an extra memory space for editing. This is not
a malfunction of the recorder.
If the recording data volume of one track requires over 2 GB, the
subsequent recording starts as a new track due to the specifications of the
recorder. 

The “Memory Stick” is
not recognized. Since the “Memory Stick” may contain image data or other files, the
memory required for creating initial folders is insufficient. Use Windows
Explorer or other tools to delete unnecessary files or initialize the “Memory
Stick” on the recorder.
Select “MEMORY STICK” for the “MEMORY” item of the menu. 
