Symptom
The disc name or track
name cannot be entered.
System function cannot be
used.
Remedy
• Close the record-protect tab. (See
page 34.)
• Replace it with a recordable disc.
• Check all cable connections. The
system functions cannot be used
even if remote control (
)
cables are connected. Also
connect the components using
audio cables.
• If the symptom still persists,
disconnect the power cord plug,
then connect the plug again. If this
does not improve the condition,
with the power cord plug
connected, press and hold down
the button for more than five
seconds and operate the unit.
Cause
• The disc is record-protected
(“Protected” appears).
• A premastered (read-only) disc is
inserted (“Cannot Rec” appears).
• The system functions cannot be
used.
• Excessive electrical interference may temporarily render this system‘s sensitive microcomputer
inoperable. If this happens, unplug the system for at least five seconds.
Troubleshooting (Continued)
Condensation
This is the same phenomena that causes windows to mist with water in a heated room during the
winter.
The MD recorder also sometimes gets dew (water drops) on the optical lens inside the player under
the following conditions.
• Immediately after you turn a heater on.
• If the MD recorder is placed in a room full of steam or dampness.
• If you suddenly bring the MD recorder from the cold outside into a warm room.
If the MD recorder is exposed to dew condensation
You can leave it as it is. Sometimes the recorder cannot read the disc signal by laser and the recorder
will not work.
Depending on the surrounding conditions, you can remove the disc and leave the power on for one
hour at most. The dew will evaporate and the recorder will work properly. If it doesn't work after
several hours, please consult the nearest Onkyo authorized service center.
