If the recording does not start
• Make sure the recorder is not locked (pages
12, 13).
• Make sure the disc is not record-protected
(pages 16, 62).
• Premastered discs cannot be recorded over.
• When you record on a 1GB Hi-MD disc, use a
new alkaline dry battery (battery level
indication shows
), or connect the
optional AC power adaptor to the recorder.
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
optional 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 (not supplied). The
operation may stop.
• Do not move or jog the recorder or disconnect
the power source while recording, or while
“DATA SAVE” 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.
• 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)
during a recording or editing operation, or
while “DATA SAVE” or “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 30).
• 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 to i and
adjust the volume by pressing the 5-way
control key towards VOL + or – on the
recorder. This does not affect the recording
level.
