Below is a list of messages mainly related to playback and recording problems, together with a brief explanation and a page
reference where you can find more information:
Cause
The input signal is digital-copy pro-
tected with
SCMS
.
The digital source was interrupted.
The source is not audio, or is an
incompatible format (e.g. a
CD
–
ROM
).
The source player was already playing
when the
DIGITAL
SYNCHRO
button was
pressed.
The unit is preparing to record.
The recorder was switched off/
unplugged after recording without
ejecting the disc. The recorder could
not write essential recording informa-
tion onto the disc.
No more recording is possible because
the available recording time of the disc
has been used up, or 99 tracks have
already been recorded on the disc.
The loaded disc is a
CD
–
R
or
CD
–
RW
disc for professional use without the
CONSUMER
USE
disignation.
Cause
The disc is damaged or dirty.
The disc is loaded upside down.
A system error occurred, perhaps due
to noise or static electricity.
Remedy
Take out the disc and check for dust, dirt, scratches,
etc. Clean as necessary.
Take out the disc and reload it label-side up.
If the same messages are displayed again after the
disc is reloaded, unplug the power cord and plug it
in again. If the same messages are still displayed,
please contact a Pionner authorized service center.

Remedy
Record the source through the analog inputs.

properly and that the power of the source player is on.
Check that the source is a regular music source.

synchro–record-pause mode.
Wait until the message disappears.
While
REPAIR
is displayed, the recorder automatically
examines the recorded area of the disc and updates
the track numbers and recording time data. This
process takes about 40 minutes for a fully recorded
disc. Finalization or further recording is possible
once the

message disappears.
Use another disc, or erase the

Cause
A blank disc is loaded.
An attempt is made to start playback
without loading a disc.
The unit is resuming an operation. If
the power supply is cut off (either by
mistake or due to a power failure)
during recording, the unit enters
resume mode once power is restored
so that additional recording is possible.
