Playback is delayed, or begins at the wrong place. Recording/copying is not possible.
Some vibration and rotation noise are created during the copying. Continuous recording cannot be made on a disc or track on the HDD beyond 180 minutes. The beginning of the track is missing during the playback when this unit is connected digitally to an amplifier. The sound is missing when this unit switches one disc to another. A CD-R or CD-RW that has been recorded with this unit cannot be played on the other CD player or DVD player. Sound skips.
The tracks that have different emphases have been played.
The titles appear on the display during the playback of the part that has been recorded stretching over the two discs. Your CD or DVD player is not compatible with CD-R or CD-RW discs. The CD-R or CD-RW disc has not been finalized. This unit and/or the component connected is being subjected to vibration or impact. The CD is dirty. Connection has not correctly been made.
Press TEXT/TIME to switch the display to the indication of time (P.18). Use a CD or DVD player compatible with CD-R or CDRW discs. Finalize the CD-R or CD-RW disc (P.47). Relocate the unit.

108_HD1500(E)76-85.p3/20/05, 12:44
This unit does not operate properly. There is rotation noise of the fan. A noise occurs at the change of the tracks that has been recorded from the analog record and edited. Remote control does not work.
The internal microcomputer has been frozen. The temperature inside this unit rises. A very low frequency component among the wow and flutter of the analog record is being output as a noise. The batteries of the remote control are too weak. Remote control is from too far. Remote control is being used at an incorrect angle. Direct sunlight or lighting (of an inverter type of fluorescent lamp, etc.) is striking the remote control sensor. Remote control is being used near TV set with a remote control sensor. The indoor antenna is used.
Turn off the power of this unit and then turn on again after about one minute (P.14). The fan starts to rotate to cool off the temperature inside this unit. Improvement can be made by adding a short fade-in or fade-out to the track (P.64).
Replace two batteries with new ones (P.11). Use the remote control within 6 m and 60 degrees radius (P.11). Change the position so that the remote control sensor is not exposed to strong lighting. Relocate this unit away from the TV or cover the TVs remote control sensor. Use an outdoor antenna, or set this unit away from the TV set.

GLOSSARY

The following explains key terms used in this manual.
Album An album is a unit used while playing back or recording audio signals on this unit. For detailed information, see Data on the HDD (P.16). Audio Master Quality Recording Audio Master Quality Recording is a high quality recording mode used to create an audio CD with its original quality. By minimizing the jitter that subtly degrades the audio quality or even causes data transmission failure, Audio Master Quality Recording actualizes a clear sound close to the original sound. Bookmark A bookmark is a collection of audio tracks of your preference. You can play back or record audio data using a bookmark, and an album can be created from a bookmark. For detailed information, see Data on the HDD (P.16) or Data on CDs (P.17). CD TEXT CD TEXT is text information (album title, track title, etc) recorded on CDs and can be read only with a CD player or CD-ROM drive that supports CD TEXT. Digital Move Digital move implies moving audio data recorded on the HDD onto CD-R/RW discs. The audio data once digital moved onto CD-R/RW discs are erased from the HDD. Because digital move is regarded as one generation of digital copying, audio data can be digitally copied from CDs onto the HDD and then from the HDD onto CD-R/RW discs. However, audio data cannot be copied onto several CD-R/ RW discs at the same time. Disc A disc is a unit used while playing back or recording audio signals on this unit. For detailed information, see Data on the HDD (P.16) or Data on CDs (P.17). Emphasis Emphasis is a recording mode used to improve the quality of audio data. Emphasis turns the volume of the upper register up before recording and down while playing back, resulting in a decrease in the noise level of the upper register.
