Troubleshooting
Problems with the Memory Card
“Unsupported Card!” is displayed
Do you have a compatible (CompactFlash) memory
card inserted in the BR-900CD?
Is the memory card fully and securely inserted?
Memory card data was damaged
If memory card data has been damaged, the following causes
are possible. Please initialize the card once again (p. 196).
Was the power turned off while the recorder was
operating?
Was a strong physical shock applied to the memory
card?
Could the power have been turned off while the
memory card was being accessed?
Was the card initialized on a PC or digital camera?
Problems with the CD-R/RW Drive
Cannot remove the CD-R/RW disc
Is the power turned on?
The CD-R/RW disc cannot be removed unless the power
is turned on.
Is a screen for reading from, or writing to CD-R/RW
discs showing in the display?
It is not possible to eject the disc when you’re in a screen
for reading/writing CD-R/RW discs. Press [EXIT]
several times to return to the Play screen, then press the
EJECT button again.
Cannot read from/write to CD-R/RW discs
Is the BR-900CD in a level position?
Was a strong physical shock applied to the CD-R/RW
drive?
Is the disc correctly placed in the CD-R/RW drive?
Are you using the right type of CD-R/RW disc?
Are you using a CD-R disc that has already been
written to, or a CD-RW disc that may be too old?
Is the CD-R/RW drive being “force ejected?”
Pressing a straightened paper clip or similar object into
the emergency eject hole in the CD-R/RW drive’s front
side forces ejection of the CD-R/RW disc. However, the
CD-R/RW drive may not operate correctly after this is
done. Should this be the case, turn off the power, then
turn it back on again.
Synchronization Problems
Cannot Synchronize
When using MTC to synchronize the BR-900CD with a MIDI
sequencer, the BR-900CD must be the master device.
Is the MIDI cable connected correctly?
Is the MIDI cable broken?
Has the sync generator been set to the desired
synchronization procedure (MTC or MIDI Clock)?
(p. 158)
If you are synchronizing with MTC, has the other
device been set to the same MTC type? (p. 158)
Has the MIDI sequencer been set correctly?
Is the MIDI sequencer ready to play back?
Does the other device support the MMC commands of
the BR-900CD?
Synchronization with the rhythm
machine is lost
Is the connected rhythm machine receiving Song
Position Pointer?
Certain rhythm machines are unable to receive Song
Position Pointer while in Pattern mode.
Check the MIDI implementation for the rhythm machine
you are using.
