“TOC Reading” appears for a long time
If the inserted recordable MD is brand new, “TOC Reading”
appears in the display longer than for MDs that have been
used.
Limitations when recording over an existing track
• The correct remaining recording time may not be
displayed.
• You may find it impossible to record over a track if that
track has been recorded over several times already. If this
happens, erase the track using the Erase Function (see
page 20.)
• The remaining recording time may be shortened out of
proportion to the total recorded time.
• Recording over a track to eliminate noise is not
recommended since this may shorten the duration of the
track.
• You may find it impossible to label a track while
recording over it.
The correct recorded/playing time may not be displayed
during playback of monaural-format MDs.
Troubleshooting

you remedy the problem. Should any problem persist,

does not appear). Replace the disc with one that has
been recorded.

recordable MD.
/
There is not enough time left on the MD. Replace it
with another recordable MD with fewer recorded
tracks, or erase unnecessary tracks.

There has been a power failure or the AC power
cord has been disconnected during recording. Data
recorded to that point may be lost. Repeat the
recording procedure.
The recorder does not work during synchro-recording.
/
The currently selected CD player type (CD player or
video CD player) does not match the CD player
being used. Reset the CD player type (see page 14.)
The sound has a lot of static.
/
Strong magnetism from a television or a similar
device is interfering with operations. Move the
recorder away from the source of strong magnetism.
Note
If the recorder does not operate properly even after you’ve
attempted the prescribed remedies, turn off the power, then
reinsert the plug into the power outlet.
