Recording
Symptom Cause/Solution
Recording fails. • The MIC/LINE INPUT LEVEL switch or the XLR/TRS INPUT
LEVEL switch is in the wrong position. When using the built-in
microphones or an external microphone for recording, slide the
switch to “MIC.” When using the connected external device for
recording, slide the switch to “LINE” (pages 38, 39, 41).
• If a recording starts but no playback sounds are heard, the
recording volume may be too low. Turn the REC LEVEL dial to
adjust the volume.
• You cannot record in folders managed under “ Music.”
• The memory is full, or the maximum number of files (199
files) has already been recorded. You cannot record any more
files. Select another folder (page 37) or delete some of the
files (page 57). Or store the files on the hard disk of your
computer, and then delete them from the linear PCM recorder.
You can also use an SD card with sufficient capacity for storing
recorded files (page 36).
• When using the SD card, the write-protect switch on the card is
placed in the “LOCK” position. Release the write-protect setting.
• Check the “Plug In Power” setting of the menu if using the
external microphone connected to the MIC IN/LINE IN jack
(page 67).
• If you are using a phantom power compatible microphone
that is connected to one of the XLR/TRS jacks, first connect the
microphone, and then slide the phantom power switch to “ON.”
You cannot record files up to the
maximum recordable time stated on
page 90. • If there are other formatted data (for example, images) saved in
the memory, you cannot record files up to the maximum.
• The SD card has a minimum size unit for a single recorded file. If
a large number of files are recorded, the actual recordable time
may be shorter than the stated maximum recordable time due
to differences in the unit and actual file sizes.
• The maximum recordable time stated on page 90 is
estimated. It varies depending on the number of files.
• Due to the above reasons, the sum of the total recorded time
indicated by the counter (elapsed time) and the remaining
recordable time may be shorter than the maximum recordable
time.
• Even when “Memory Full” appears and the linear PCM recorder
stops recording, the linear PCM recorder has an extra memory
space for editing. This is not a malfunction of the linear PCM
recorder.
• When the size of a single recorded file reaches the maximum
size limit (4 GB for an LPCM file, and 1 GB for an MP3 file),
the subsequent recording is saved in a new file due to the
specifications of the linear PCM recorder.
