ok, some of these may be obvious questions but for the sake
of troubleshooting bear with them.
was the "red" indicator light solid or flashing
flashing is standby mode, use puase to drop to record.
was the mic plugged in all the way?
is your mic working correctly? Try it in another device
to be certain.
Beyond that (like I said probably kind of obvious) you might have
a problem internal on the unit. (unless you had your record levels
set wrong, or used line, vs. mic port when recording)
If none of these appears to be the answer, I'd suggest taking it in
for service. I always do level chheck when recording (obviously not
bootlegging concenerts) to make sure stuff is working.
no idea if this helps, but hope it at least
gave you a few things to check. If you're solid on all of this
it might be time to get the unit ot a service center.
