Troubleshooting
guide
If you encounter a difficulty while using your unit, use this troubleshooting
guide as an aid to remedy the problem. Because the unit contains a
microcomputer to provide advanced functions, it may malfunction due to
external noise or static electricity. If this happens, disconnect the power
cord and then plug it in again after about 5 seconds. You must also be
sure that the system components are properly connected.
If the problem persists even after you try this remedy, or it is not listed in
the table, disconnect the power cord and then consult the shop from which
you purchased the unit or your nearest ONKYO service station, informing
them of your name, address, phone number, type of unit, and the details of
the problem.
• The unit does not operate or operates poorly
.
Cause: The disc may be damaged ("Disc Error" appears).
Remedy: Take the disc out and insert it again. If "Disk Error"
remains, replace the disc. (See "Precautions for
handling the MiniDisc(MD)" on page 58)
• The unit does not play.
Cause: Moisture has formed inside the unit.
Remedy: Take the MD out and leave the unit in a warm place for
several hours until the moisture evaporates (See page
8).
Cause: The unit is not on.
Remedy: Press the STAND-BY/ON button to turn the unit on.
Cause: The disc is inserted in the wrong direction.
Remedy: Slide the MD into the disc compartment with the label
side up and the arrow pointing toward the opening
until the unit grips it (See page 18).
Cause: The disc may not be recorded (the track numbers do not
appear).
Remedy: Replace the disc with one that has been recorded.
• The sound has a lot of static.
Cause: Strong magnetism from a television or a similar device is
interfering with operations.
Remedy: Move the unit away from the source of strong
magnetism.
• The unit does not record.
Cause: The disc is record-protected ("Protected" appears).
Remedy: Close the record-protect slot (See page 34).
Cause: The unit is not connected properly to the sound source.
Remedy: Make connections properly to the sound source.
Cause: The analog recording level is too low.
Remedy: Turn the REC LEVEL control knob to adjust the
recording level properly.
Cause: A premastered disc is inserted ("Cannot Rec" appears).
Remedy: Replace it with a recordable disc. (You cannot record
on premastered discs.)
Cause: There is not enough time left on the disc.
Remedy: Replace it with another recordable disc with fewer
recorded tracks. Or, erase unused tracks.
Cause: An attempt was made to record from a digital input source,
but it is not connected by the optical cable.
Remedy: Connect the digital input source by the optical cable or
set the INPUT selector to "A (ANALOG)".
Cause: There has been a power failure or the power cord has been
disconnected.
Remedy: The contents of the recording may be lost
permanently. After connecting the power cord or
immediately after power has been restored, press the
STAND-BY/ON button.(See “Storage Period of
Backup Data” on page 34.)
• The disc name or track name cannot be entered.
Cause: The disc is record-protected (“Protected” appears).
Remedy: Close the record-protect slot (See page 34).
Cause: A premastered (read-only) disc is inserted (“Cannot Rec”
appears).
Remedy: Replace it with a recordable disc. (You cannot enter
track or disc names on premastered discs.)
• System function cannot be used.
Cause: The system components are not connected properly.
Remedy: Check that each cord is connected properly. The
components cannot function as a system even if they
are
connected by
z
cables. They must
also be connected
by audio
connection cables.
If the unit does not operate properly even after attempting the prescribed
remedies, unplug and then plug in the power cord again.
