in green. If a key is not lit, press the key

to make it light in green.

Operating the fader does not affect

the volume

• On channels for which stereo link is

turned on, the fader of the even-numbered

channel will have no effect. Either turn

stereo link off (

➝ p. 39), or operate the

fader of the odd-numbered channel.

Recorder stops midway during play

key lit in red, a temporary file is created

internally by the MRS-4. If the remaining

capacity of the SmartMedia card then

becomes low, playback is stopped midway

through the song. In such a case, press the

status key so that it goes out or is lit in

green.

out.
