Troubleshooting (continued)
Recording or editing was done, but the
TOC is not updated.
• MD recording and editing contents are
recorded to the MD when the MD is removed,
so make sure you remove the MD after
recording or editing (see pages 32 and 43).
Recording is not possible.
• Remove the MD and slide the tab to close the
slot (see page 32).
• Connect the optional A/V component
properly (see page 65).
• Switch to another sound source.
• Replace the MD with a recordable MD, or use
the Erase Function to erase unnecessary tracks
(see pages 45 – 48).
• Start recording over from the beginning.
The sound from an MD you recorded is
too low (or too high).
• Readjust the recording level (see page 40).
