condition
The REC lamp lights up or flashes according to
the recording condition.

Make sure to place the recorder at a stable,
vibration-free place during recording.

seconds of the material may not be recorded.
Make sure that the disc indication has stopped
rotating before you start recording.
•
Do not move the recorder, jog the recorder or
disconnect the power source while recording,
or while “DATA SAVE” or “SYS WRITE” is

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 or
the AC power adaptor is disconnected) during
a recording or editing operation, or while
“DATA SAVE” or “SYS WRITE” 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.
