8

power save function setting” on page 39.)

 

o

The DR-22WL is in compliance with the European Standby 

Power Regulations (ErP), and therefore, the automatic 

power saving function will work whether the unit is being 

powered by an AC adapter or batteries. Select “OFF” if you 

do not want to use the auto power saving function (the 

factory default setting is “30 min").

 

8

The unit does not function.

•  Is the HOLD/ 

 switch set at HOLD?

•  Is the unit connected to a computer via USB cable (USB 

Connected)?

 

8

The microSD card is not recognized.

•  Check that the microSD card is inserted correctly.

 

8

The DR-22WL don’t play back

•  If the file is WAV format, check whether its sampling rate is 

compatible with the unit.

•  If the file is MP3 format, check whether the bit rate is 

compatible with the unit.

 

8

The built-in speaker does not emit sound

•  Is a headphone connected to the unit?
•  Is the 

SPEAKER

 item set as 

OFF?

 

•  Is the unit in recording or recording standby mode?

 

8

The monitor system does not emit sound

•  Is the monitoring system securely connected?

•  Is the monitoring system volume at minimum level?

•  Is the OUTPUT LEVEL setting of the unit at minimum level?

 

8

The DR-22WL is not recording

•  Check the connection again.

•  Check the input settings again.

•  Is the recording level too low?

•  Does the microSD card has free space?

•  Check whether the number of files has reached the 

maximum level.

 

8

The input level is too low

•  Is the input level setting too low?

•  Is the output level of the connected device too low?

 

8

The sound I want to record is distorted

•  Is the input level setting too high?

•  Is reverb setting ON?

 

8

Playback sound is not natural

•  Is the playback speed changed?

•  Is the level control function ON?

•  Is reverb setting ON?

 

8

The file cannot be deleted

•  Is the file a copy of a read-only file set by a computer?

 

8

The computer does not display the unit’s files

•  Is the DR-22WL connect to a computer via USB port?

•  Is USB hub in use?

•  Is the unit in recording or recording standby mode?

 

8

The DR-22WL cannot make a Wi-Fi connection or 

communication is interrupted

•  Check that the Wi-Fi device is turned ON and/or the Wi-Fi 

function is ON.

•  Is the distance to the Wi-Fi device too far?

Is there any obstacles in between, for example a wall?
When a Wi-Fi device is located at the rear side of the 

DR-22WL, the unit itself maybe the cause of interruption.
Try changing the positions of the Wi-Fi device and the unit.

•  Turn OFF and restart the DR-22WL.

•  Delete the “DR-22WL” registered information in the Wi-Fi 

device, and follow the steps in “Connecting the unit to a 

Wi-Fi device.”

When the DR-22WL does not operate properly, check the followings before make a repair request. If you still have a problem, contact 

either the store you purchased the DR-22WL or the TEAC repair center (see the back cover for contact details).
