<Trouble 2>
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).
<Trouble 1>
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.
<Trouble 3>
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

<Trouble 4>
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).
