Troubleshooting
It’s often easy to mistake incorrect operation for trouble and malfunction of the unit. If you think there is something wrong with the
component, check the points below first. If the problems persists, contact your nearest Pioneer-authoriorized service center and have them
check over the unit.
Symptom
No sound.
Can’t record.
Can’t record in stereo.
No Disc is displayed when an
MD is loaded.
Sound is intermittent.
The remaining recording
time doesn’t increase even
after erasing some short
tracks.
The total of the recorded time
and remaining record-ing
time of an MD doesn’t match
the maximum recording time
of the MD.
Tracks cannot be combined.
Possible Causes
• The power cord is unplugged.
• Connection cords aren’t connected properly.
• The MD is protected against accidental erasure.
• A playback-only MD is in use.
• The TOC is full (this may occur after repeated
recording and editing operations).
• The optical cable is not connected properly.
• The MD recorder is in long-play mono recording
mode.
• Damaged disc.
• Condensation inside the MD recorder.
• Tracks shorter than 12 seconds are sometimes not
counted in the recording time information.
• All tracks consist of a number of two-second
blocks. Often, the end of a track will not fall right
at the end of one of these blocks. As a result, the
actual available recording time may be slightly
shorter than the value calculated based on the
displayed time information.
• The disc contains a damaged section, making that
part unusable.
• The MD has been repeatedly re-recorded and
edited
• One of the tracks was recorded using the digital
input, while the other was recorded using the
analog input.
• One track was recorded in LP mono mode, while
the other in standard stereo mode.
Remedy
• Connect to an ac power outlet.
• Connect the cords correctly; see
Connecting Up on page 11.
• Close the accidental erase-protect tab (see
page 7.)
• Use a recordable MD.
• Execute the all-track erase command and
record the disc from the beginning.
• Connect correctly (see page 11).
• Use the stereo recording mode (see page
28).

• Leave the MD recorder for about an hour
before retrying playback.

❖ It is possible that this unit will cause interference on nearby television sets, especially if you’re using the TV with an indoor antenna. If
you experience this problem, either use an outdoor television antenna, or move the MD player away from the television.

unplugging from the wall outlet, then plugging in and switching on again.
