I've had my R-09HR shut down in the middle of a set a couple of times recently. Anyone else have this happen?
I'm running the deck on external power, with new alkaline AA's in the battery compartment, so I thought that if there was an issue with the external battery, the deck would switch over to internal batteries seamlessly. In fact, when I try at home, I can plug in and unplug the external battery all I want, and the deck just shows that it goes to internal batteries, or vice versa.
I'm wondering if there is an issue with the amperage supplied by the external battery. In other words, could the external battery be providing the right voltage, but not the correct amperage? Would that cause the deck to power itself down without switching to the internal batteries? Very strange.
Last time this happened (taping Elephant Revival the other night) the deck shut down and corrupted the file. I can see the file in the menu, but I can't play it (on the deck or on the PC) and I can't find a way to repair it. I can't reproduce the problem at home. Just getting this random shut-down issue. Hasn't happened a lot, but once is enough.
I read this entire thread and didn't see any mention of anyone having similar issues, but I did realize I was on firmware version 1.03, so I upgraded to 2.0. Not sure if the firmware has anything to do with this, but curious if anyone else has had a similar problem.
