If your CD recorder is defective, it is wise to check this list first. You may have forgotten a simple step.

Input label flashing (CHECK INPUT) � text memory full (MEMORY FULL / FINALIZE CD). When a CDRW has to be unfinalized for recording. Erase text for other disc(s) or finalize other disc(s) to obtain memory space. Recording is distorted � make sure the recording level is correct 20 second pause between recordings � see Autostart recording Player does not react � switch the ON/OFF button on the front of the player off and back on DISC RECOVER on display � a power failure has occurred during recording, the CD recorder is attempting to repair the disc � if DISC ERROR then appears on the display, the disc cannot be recorded further, and cannot be finalized. But it can still be played on the CD recorder or another CD recorder. � on a CDRW disc, the track being recorded is lost, but further recording and finalization can still be done
