Fostex Mr 8hd CD 8 Track Recorder with CDr Questions & Answers
My Fostex mr8 hdd "full"
If you can reformat the drive after dumping out anything you want saved MIGHT fix the problem...
The unit MAY not be able to tolerate fragmenting when you delete a snippet here and there... It may require large blocks of contiguous space.
Why does my mixer take so long to select something from the menu and why does it freeze up?
Sounds like you need more ram or computer space. You didn't list what time of mixer or computer so can only answer basicly. If using a computer (which it sounds like) see how much the mixer needs andhow much space available on your hard drive. This is called a latency problem. Basicaly how long does it take for the computer to respond to commands while it is doing a task. either get a bigger hard drive and more ram or clear out some files on your computer. You can also go into settings and change the settings. You'll have to look through the manual on latency problems.
My Fostex MR-8HD states "Illegal song name" when
On page 22 of your manual, it appears that the warning message is used for more than one thing.
Make sure that you have entered the new song name text and it is accepted since if the name is not entered and accepted you will get that message.
If the text is unacceptable OR you try to advance to song creation when name has not been accepted will bring up that message.
The manual is really poor and I can understand your frustration.
It is UNCLEAR to us exactly at what point in the entry the message appears. Have you entered all the song name using all letters and then selected the enter function below? Does the message appear before you select the enter? or after you do...?
I recently bought a MR
Yes, if this was a used unit when you bought it, then the problem is it needs cleaning. if you do a cleaning, it will improve the sound and the volume. Get a CD cleaner.
My Fostex MR-8HD recorder's LCD display won't show
Check if the display has a contrast control. When these get turned down, the display is blank. Sometimes they are a littel shaft coming out of the case, other times it is a setting in a menu... how they expect you to see the display to set it in these cases is beyond me...
Hello. It's my first time
You will need to put th set on for really some time. I assume that the person who gave you must give more information if the recorder was working prior to this or was idling for along time.
If so leave the set on and allow the electronics to bring up voltage to all stages.
If there is no result look near the display unit the links, the cconnectors and the processor.
Now is your experienced friend can check out the prrocessor and display interface we can have some leads.
So check this out and respond
Maybe stupid question....is it possible to record
I believe you have to adjust the levels DURING the bounce operation... I don't think you can do that after.
I would consider using a computer based editing program to handle more than 4 tracks...
I have an intermittent fault
Hello,
If you bought this machine from the manufacturers itself then you should try and take it back to them to help you fix it. This could sometimes be software problem. Try contacting the manufacturers of this, they could help you out.
Best regards

Compact flash that i bought wont work
USUALLY the ultra and high density flash cards have trouble working in most music equipment.
Only buy the cards up to 2 Gb and verify compatibility with one of them before buying more.
Why does it say
Note that the name of the song CANNOT have blanks and the use of special characters is limited.
If you need a space in the name you have to use the underscore to creat a "space".
