Hi there and welcome to Just Answer, my name is ***** ***** I look forward to helping you.

I’m sorry to hear you're having trouble with your recorder I know that can be frustrating. Hopefully, we can get this resolved quickly.

Please note, a rating is only needed when we are finished.

Can you please remove the power to the recorder (so unplug it from the power socket).

Then wait 10 minutes, connect the power again to the unit, turn it on and tell me please if it is now operating correctly.

Let me know the results please

Have completed that, but can still only record, nothing happens when you press direct navigator, except the red circle with the red line

I want you please to reset the unit.

To do this

  1. Press the Functions menu button on the remote control, and when the menu appears, select Others and press OK.
  2. Then select Set Up and press OK.
  3. Select To Others and press the right hand arrow on the circle pad.
  4. Then select Initialize and press OK.

Once done, tell me how it now functions please.

Still nothing but the red circle!

Thanks

It is the internal mainboard that has faulted in the unit.

I am really sorry about this and you are going to have to return the recorder to have it replaced. It will be covered by the warranty if this has not expired, and the replacement will be done at no cost to you.

I am really sorry about this, and if you have problems, or would like any additional information or assistance, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Thank you

What a pain! But thank you for your help. Just out of curiosity, what does the red circle mean?

You are welcome

It means it cannot communicate, this is why it shows this.
