SECTION 7: TROUBLESHOOTING
15
ISSUE:
•
The DA-9000 will not burn my tracks to a CD-R or CD-RW.
CAUSE(S)/SOLUTION(S):
•
The DA-9000 complies with SCMS copy protection. This means that copies of digital
copies can’t be made.
•
The DA-9000 requires Audio (aka “Music”) type CD-R or CD-RW discs. Data type discs
for computer recording cannot be recorded by the unit.
•
There isn’t enough space for your tracks left on the CD-R or CD-RW. If the disc is a
CD-RW, you can erase and rewrite it.
•
You can't record more than 99 sessions on an MP3 CD.
•
You can't record more than 99 tracks on an Audio CD.
ISSUE:
•
The CD-R or CD-RW I recorded with the DA-9000 can’t be played in my CD (or DVD)
player.
CAUSE(S)/SOLUTION(S):
•
Your CD (or DVD) player may not support CD-R or CD-RW discs. Check with the player’s
manufacturer.
ISSUE:
•
The DA-9000 still seems like it’s ON after I’ve turned it OFF.
CAUSE(S)/SOLUTION(S):
•
This is normal. The unit enters an OS backup mode, then enters a stand-by mode.
While in stand-by mode, tasks may be performed. For instance, rapid archived tracks
may be encoded while the DA-9000 is in stand-by mode. You may hear the hard drive
running.
ISSUE:
•
The unit doesn’t operate properly or seems to have crashed.
CAUSE(S)/SOLUTION(S):
•
While it’s far more reliable than a PC, the DA-9000 does have a processor and other
PC-like components. If the unit seems to have frozen, wait a few minutes, unplug the
unit, wait a few seconds, plug the unit back in and power ON.
ISSUE:
•
DA-9000 will not power ON.
CAUSE(S)/SOLUTION(S):
•
Verify that the DA-9000 is connected to a working power outlet.
•
Disconnect the USB cable.
•
Disconnect the power cord, wait a few minutes, reconnect the power cord and power
ON.
ISSUE:
•
The remote control’s battery is drained after the remote hasn’t been used for a while.
CAUSE(S)/SOLUTION(S):
•
Remove the remote’s batteries if you won’t be using the remote for a few weeks.
ISSUE:
•
I can’t play music from CD.
CAUSE(S)/SOLUTION(S):
•
Make sure the CD is loaded properly (label side up).
•
If the disc is a CD-R or CD-RW, make sure the disc has been recorded and finalized.
•
Verify that the CD isn’t dirty or scratched.
ISSUE:
•
I can’t transfer tracks between the DA-9000 and my PC.
CAUSE(S)/SOLUTION(S):
•
The TDK PC Transfer Software must be installed and used to transfer the tracks.
•
Connect the USB cable to the DA-9000 and to your PC.
