MR-8mkII Owner’s Manual (Troubleshooting)
<Trouble 7>: During overdubbing, I cannot monitor
the playback signal of the recorded track.
• Is the track fader for the playback track raised?
During overdubbing, raise the faders for both the play-
back and recording tracks appropriately.
Otherwise, you cannot make overdubbing while listen-
ing to the recorded track(s).
<Trouble 3>: The input level of the track to which I am
going to record is too low.
• Is the [TRIM] control of the input to which the sound
source is connected adjusted appropriately?
To set the input level (= recording level) appropriately,
use the [TRIM] control so that the peak indicator does
not light continuously.
<Trouble 1>: I cannot record the sound source con-
nected to [INPUT B] to track 1.
<Trouble 5> : The meter shows very low level and
the recording level is too low.
• When recording a sound source to a mono track,
you can only use the [INPUT A] section.
Connect the source to [INPUT A].
• Is the [TRIM] control for the input section the sound
source is connected adjusted appropriately?
Set the [TRIM] control just below the position where the
[PEAK] indicator in the [INPUT A] section lights at the
loudest part.
<Trouble 6>: The meter shows good level for record-
ing, but no signal can be monitored via headphones
though the [PHONES VOL] control is raised.
• Are the track fader for the recording track and the
[MASTER] fader raised?
Both of these faders, as well as the [PHONES VOL]
control, have to be raised in order to monitor the re-
cording signal via headphones.
We recommend to raise both the track fader for the
recording track and the [MASTER] fader to the “
”
position.
• Is the recording track in the input monitor mode?
Make sure that the [RECORD] key flashes and
"
" is shown on the display. If not, press the
[RECORD] key to set the armed track to the input moni-
tor mode.
<Trouble 2>: I am going to make recording using the
internal microphone but I cannot see the input level on
the display.
• Is the [INPUT A SELECT] switch on the rear panel
set to “INT MIC”?
To make recording using the internal microphone, set
the switch to “INT MIC”.
• Is the [TRIM] control for the [INPUT A] section ad-
justed appropriately?
Set the sound source near to the internal microphone
or set the [TRIM] control just below the position where
the [PEAK] indicator in the [INPUT A] section lights at
the loudest part.
• Is the [RECORD] key flashing and does “ ”
light on the display?
Press the [RECORD] key to set the armed (record-
ready) track to the input monitor mode by pressing only
the [RECORD] key.
<Trouble 4>: I cannot hear the input signal via the
headphones though the [REC SELECT] key is active.
• Did you press the [RECORD] key to make the armed
track in the input monitor mode? Is the [PHONES
VOL] control raised?
You cannot hear the input signal unless the assigned
track is in the input monitor mode by pressing the corre-
sponding [REC SELECT] key to turn on the indicator.
Also, you cannot hear any signal if the [PHONES VOL]
control is set to minimum.
Troubles for recording
<Trouble 8>: The recorder stopped suddenly when
recording.
• Is there enough recordable space on the
CompactFlash
TM Card?
You cannot record onto the CompactFlash TM Card which
is full. Replace it with a new card or delete unneces-
sary data.
