premastered MD is inserted. Replace it with a
recordable MD.
^There is not enough time left on the MD. Replace it
with another recordable MD with fewer recorded
tracks, or erase unnecessary tracks.
^There has been a power failure or the AC power cord
has been disconnected during recording. Data
recorded to that point may be lost. Repeat the
recording procedure.
An incompletely inserted MD cannot be pulled out.
^The MD deck's self-lock system has gripped the MD.
Insert the MD completely, then press = EJECT.
The sound has a lot of static.
■^Strong magnetism from a television or a similar device
