data error? Maybe a corrupt sequence hanging? Battery low and changing some random bit?

EDIT: found this in the manual (page 4). PDF was locked so having to type...

THE DISPLAY SHOWS d.Err
In this case, pressing the RESET key will normalize
the MSQ-700 superficially (= all the relevant indica
tors light, but the internally, the data is damaged.
So unless you crave for listening to the existing data
initialize the MSA-700 immediately as explained
below. If you dail to do so, you are annoyed by the
error indication every time you turn on the unit.



Error is often caused by idiotic operation such as
turning the unit off during loading or editing. Other-
wise, the back-up battery is getting flat.

HOW TO INITIALIZE
(1) Turn the MSQ-700 off.

(2) Set the PROTECT switch of OFF

(3) While holding the ERASE button (in the Edit/Tape
mode section, switch the unit ON

(4)Do not release the ERASE button until the display
respons with 'Clr'
