When I open the voice recorder (DS 4000), it reads "please download files, read only files", and the image of a lock appears. With this file inserted I am unable to access the menu button, or read the file with the computer. From the computer, I can see that there is something on the file (with the property button) but I am unable do see the content.
I don't know if this is any clearer ?

The folder lock can oly be solved by chosing the option "format" in the sub-menu. But please copy the *.dss - files still resting at your card at your harddisk first.
When the recorder finishes the format procedure, all folders will be unlocked again.
The "Read-Only-Failure" will occur again at recorders with differend user profiles, when you put the switched-off recorder into the docking station first and switch the power button to "on". So avoid this constellation!

The memory has been corrupted. You will need to reformat the memory from the menu in order to use that memory card again. This will erase all files.
If you need to recover the file, download a free recovery program called pc inspector smart recovery, from http://www.snapfiles.com/get/smartrecovery.html

You may need to format the recorder to clean the file system on the recorder. Follow the directions below to format: If you format the recorder, all function settings will return to their defaults*. All files** stored in the recorder will be deleted. If you have important files that you want to save, connect the recorder to a computer and transfer those files from the recorder to the computer before formatting the device. * Date and time settings won't be cleared, so you won't need to set them again.
** Locked files will also be deleted.
1 Press and hold the FOLDER/MENU button for 1 second or longer. The menu opens.
2 Press the up or down arrows button to choose "FORMAT".
3 Press the REC/SET button again.
4 Press the FF or REW to choose "START".
5 Press the REC/SET button.
Formatting starts.
"FORMAT DONE" displays when formatting ends.
This is a know issue of the initial releases of DSS Pro 5. Downloading the update (using the Update option inside the software) will not really fix it, but will at least give you an option to override the Locked status. This "fix" appears from update 5.0.5
Make sure all the files from the memory card have been downloaded and saved to the computer. You are going to need to format the memory card to remove the write protect/read only/lock issue. By formatting this will permanently erase all data from the memory card so you are able to use it again.
To format the card: go to Menu - to Submenu - to Format option - Start - then Start again - Press Menu to initiate the process - When done the recorder will be able to be used for recording purposes again.

Had same problem. Found online handbook for DS-4000 and page 37 pointed way.
Press menu button on the handset.Go to sub menu. Page 37 of online handbook suggests you can lock and unlock from this but I used the format icon on the submenu to reformat the card. Seems to be working fine now.
