I have a PTR2. Suddenly a couple of nights ago it started saying tone plus 6 over and over, with little sounds in between. I left it alone, and eventually it stopped, but since then this has recurred several times. When I tried to make a recording onto a blank disk it stopped recording and said there was a write error and to press cancel, which I did. Then came the tone plus 6 problem again, and I could do nothing to stop it. I shut down, which it took a long time to do, turned off the mains and let it rest a while. I then switched on the mains, turned the machine on, and it seems to now be ok. I wonder whether it had something to do with being overloaded in some way. I had both a CF card and a disk in the machine at the time. When I had shut down I removed the card and disk. Now I just have a disk in place, and it is playing that one ok, which is one of my talking books. Can anyone tell me what may have caused this problem? Wendy
Could be that the tone control on the right side has been damaged or gotten wet somehow. Just give itg a few days to dry out then try again.
