Error Messages
If you attempt an incorrect operation or if an operation could
not be executed, the display will indicate an error message.
Refer to this list and take the appropriate action.
Battery Low!
Cause: The batteries are depleted (6 x AA dry-cell
batteries).
Solution: Replace the batteries as soon as possible (p. 23).
Blank Disc!
Cause: Disc in the CD-R/RW drive contains no data.
Solution: Load a CD-R/RW disc that has data written on it.
Cannot Edit! Quantize is Low!
Cause: During Step Recording of a pattern, the Quantize
setting is too coarse, so multiple entries are
appearing at the same point in the matrix.
Solution: Fine the Quantize setting (p. 130).
Cannot Edit! This is a Preset
Cause: Preset data is selected; you cannot edit this data.
Solution: Copy the song data and then edit that.
Cannot Erase!
Cause: No further steps can be erased.
Solution: The Pitch Correction Map must contain a
minimum of one step.
Cannot Insert!
Cause: No further steps can be inserted.
Solution: The Pitch Correction Map can contain a
maximum of 99 steps.
Cannot Program! Rhythm Off.
Cause: The Rhythm is switched off, so you cannot
program it.
Solution: Press [ARRANGE/PATTERN/OFF] to select
Arrange mode or Pattern mode.
Cannot Punch In for CD-R/RW!
Cause: You cannot punch in when a CD is specified as
the bounce destination.
Solution: If using the punch-in function, specify a track as
the bounce destination.
Card Full!
Cause: It is not possible to record or copy due to small
memory capacity.
Solution1: Back up the data you need to your computer (p.
164, p. 175), and delete unneeded data.
Solution2: Perform the Song Optimize operation (p. 78).
Card Read Error!
Cause: Memory card data cannot be loaded correctly.
Solution 1: Turn off the BR-900CD, properly insert the
memory card, then turn the BR-900CD back on.
Solution 2: Initialize the card (p. 196).
* If the same message appears after you have taken the above
steps, it is possible that the memory card is malfunctioning.
Card Write Error!
Cause: An error occurred while writing data to the
memory card.
Solution: The memory card must be initialized (p. 196).
Also, the song data you had been attempting to
save will be lost.
CD Full!
Cause 1: The CD-R/RW disc is full, and no more data
can be written to it.
Cause 2: When creating an audio CD, the total time of the
tracks exceeds the capacity of the CD-R/RW disc.
Solution: Either reduce the amount of data to be written,
or place a new CD-R/RW disc in the drive and
start the procedure over again.
CD Medium Error!
Cause: There is a problem with the CD-R/RW disc.
Alternatively, the disc on the CD-R/RW drive
is unreadable.
Solution 1: Confirm that the correct type of disc is placed in
the CD-R/RW drive.
Solution 2: Use a new CD-R/RW disc.
CD Read Error!
Cause: An error occurred while reading data from the
CD-R/RW disc.
Solution: This may be due to a low-quality or dated disc.
Try using a new CD-R/RW disc.
CD Write Error!
Cause: An error occurred while writing data to the
CD-R/RW disc.
Solution: This may be due to a low-quality or dated disc.
Try using a new CD-R/RW disc.
Data Too Short!
Cause: You have attempted to import a WAV/AIFF
file shorter than one second or to load a WAV/
AIFF file shorter than 0.1 seconds using the
Tone Load function.
Solution: Make sure the WAV/AIFF file to be loaded is at
least one second in length, or if using the Tone
Load function, select a WAV/AIFF file that is at
least 0.1 seconds in length.
Cause: You attempted to write an audio CD with a
track that is less than four seconds in length.
Solution: Prepare tracks being written to audio CDs so
that they are at least four seconds long.
