 199 files have been recorded in the selected folder. Erase some of the files
or select another folder.

the very beginning or at the very end of the file.
 You cannot divide files other than those recorded using the linear PCM
recorder (e.g., a file transferred from a computer).
 You cannot divide a protected file. To divide the file, release the protection
first.

Noise is heard.
 An object, such as your finger, etc., accidentally rubbed or scratched the
linear PCM recorder during recording so that noise was recorded.
 Noise may occur if many small-sized files are recorded in the current
memory. Save the files on the hard disk of your computer (page 64), and
then format the memory (page 75).
 The linear PCM recorder was placed near an AC source, a fluorescent lamp,
or a mobile phone during recording or playback. Move the linear PCM
recorder away from them.
