MR-8 Owner’s Manual
The recorder stopped suddenly when record-
ing.
• Is there enough recordable space on the
CompactFlash card?
You cannot record onto the CompactFlash
card which is full. Replace it with a new card
or delete unnecessary data (see page 20).
I am going to make recording using the inter-
nal microphone but I cannot see the input level
on the display.
Troubles for recording
If you encounter any problem while operating the MR-8, check the following for the possible
cause of the problem before contacting our service station or dealer.
The meter shows very low level and actually
the recording level is too low.
• Is the [INPUT A SELECT] switch on the rear panel
set to "INT MIC"?
To make recording using the internal
microphone, set the switch to "INT MIC".
• Is the [TRIM] control for the [INPUT A] section
adjusted appropriately?
Set the sound source near to the internal
microphone or set the [TRIM] control just
below the position where the [PEAK]
indicator in the [INPUT A] section lights at
the loudest part.
• Is the [RECORD] key flashing and does
" " light on the display?
Press the [RECORD] key to set the armed
(record-ready) track to the input monitor
mode by pressing only the [RECORD] key.

The meter shows good level for recording, but
no signal can be monitored via headphones
though the [PHONES VOL] control is brought
up.
• Are the track fader for the recording track and
the [MASTER] fader brought up?
Both of these fader, as well as the [PHONES
VOL] control, have to be brought up in
order to monitor the recording signal via
headphones.
We recommend to bring up both the track
fader for the recording track and the
[MASTER] fader to the “ ” position (see
page 32 and 34).
