When I try to make a Recording my player displays the message C 71 Din Unlock and will not record.This has only just started to happen.How do I clear the dISPLAY?

SOURCE: din unlock

all you have to do is press the input button on the left of the control panel this i discovered myself and instantly it allowed me to record i hope this is usefull for others who have had the same problem.

SOURCE: won't record...says din lock

I'd say you have the digital input selected. The player does not see a digital signal and gives such message.
Select the analog input and you should be able to record.

Hope this helps.

SOURCE: cannot record digitaly

Is the tape write-protected? If so, remove the protection.

SOURCE: Din Unlock - Unable to record

You must have the unit switched to "DIGITAL" input - switch it to "ANALOG" and record that way. The "DIN UNLOCK" is when you have the lack of a proper digital signal, or a digital signal with copy protection, like you cannot make a digital copy of a digital Minidisc, etc...Does that make sense? Let me know if the "Analog" setting works for you. Good luck.

SOURCE: i'm trying to record on

"The definiton in the manual suggests you are trying to record a digital bitstream that is either dead or incompatible with the recorder."

That is completely wrong. DIN UNLOCK means what the first poster said - that you are trying to make a digital copy of a digital copy. You cannot (for legal reasons). Record via analog.

ABSOLUTELY DO NOT TRY TO CLEAN YOUR LENS WITH ALCOHOL AND A Q-TIP. It has nothing whatsoever to do with your problem and you may well damage or destroy the lens or the transport.
