15 – Troubleshooting
The SD card is not recognized.
• Confirm that the SD card is completely inserted.
Why can't I hear any sound when I play back?
• Are the track faders of the tracks set to a proper level?
• Is the STEREO fader set to a proper level?
• Have you connected the PHONES or MONITOR
OUT jacks to your headphones or monitoring system
properly?
Is your monitoring system set up correctly?
• Is the MONITOR LEVEL knob set to a proper level?
(PHONES jack only)
The sound I am trying to record sounds distorted.
• Are the INPUT A to H TRIM knobs on the top of the
unit set too high?
Is the input source too loud?
• Is the monitoring system distorted because the
monitoring level is too high?
Why can't I record?
• You must have at least one track in recording standby
(REC indicator flashing) before you can start recording
by pressing the RECORD (0).
• Are input sources assigned to tracks? (See "Assigning
inputs" on page 40.)
Noise occurs if I connect a passive guitar or bass
directly.
• Connecting another device to the unit's STEREO OUT
jacks might reduce the noise.
• This might be caused by interference from another
device. If there is a power amplifier or other device
that uses a large transformer, a fluorescent light or
something similar nearby, you might be able to reduce
the noise by changing the distance and orientation of
this unit in relation to such equipment.
• You might also be able to noise if you use this unit's
GROUND connector to ground the unit.
The disc tray does not open.
• The disc tray will not open unless CD mode is active
(
CD
screen or its CD menu open). Put the recorder into
Multi Track mode, press the CD button to open
the
CD
menu, and then press the F3 (-) button or the
disc eject button on the front panel.
An audio CD that I made cannot be played on a CD
player.
• Did you finalize the audio CD?
An audio CD that has not been finalized cannot be
played on an ordinary CD player. Finalize the CD and
try again. (You cannot record on the CD any more after
finalizing it.)
• Are you trying to play a CD-RW disc on a CD player that
does not support CD-RW discs?
Use a compatible CD player or create a new audio CD
using a CD-R disc. (Some CD players cannot play back
CD-R discs either.)
I cannot or fail to create an audio CD.
• Are you using a blank CD (CD-R/CD-RW) that is
supported by this unit?
This unit does not support Ultra-Speed or Ultra-Speed+
CD-RW discs.
• Depending on the manufacturer and type of CD-R/CD-
RW, writing might fail, writing might succeed but result
in an unreadable disc, or writing might take a long
time. In any of these cases, try using a CD-R/CD-RW
from a different manufacturer or of a different brand.
