while TOC Edit appears in the display, then

it will not be possible to open the lid until

power is restored.

Data Save or TOC Edit flashes while data

of the recording (the tracks start and end

points, etc.) is being recorded. Do not move or

jog the recorder or disconnect the power

display. If you do, the material recorded up to

that point will not be saved to the disc.

When you record through the microphones,

the various sounds made by the recorder may

also be recorded.
