While recording
Symptom Cause/Remedy
“NotENOUGH
POWER TO REC”
appears and recording
cannot be done on a
1GB Hi-MD disc. • Recording is not possible when using a 1GB Hi-MD disc even
when the battery level indication shows enough power remaining
while the recorder is stopped or playing. This is because of a
mechanism that disables recording when the remaining battery
power is estimated by the recorder to be insufficient due to the high
power consumption required for 1GB Hi-MD disc recording.
, Connect the AC power adaptor to the recorder or insert a new
alkaline dry battery.
The remaining
recording time appears
as “–0:00:00” and
recording cannot be
done, even though
2.0MB of free space is
displayed. • This is a system limitation. 2.0MB is the capacity of the reserve
domain.
The recorder always
creates a new group
when recording. • The group recording (“ :REC”) is set to “ : REC On”. (You
cannot overwrite tracks.)
,
Set the group recording setting to “ :REC Off” (page 41).
The first few seconds of
a track cannot be
recorded. • If you start recording while the disc indication is rotating, data will
not be recorded to the first few seconds of the first track.
,
Wait until the disc indication stops rotating before you start
recording.
