FAQs
Q: What does the "Not enough resources" message mean during playback?
A: This message means your recorder has reached its playback processing limit. Newer recorder operating systems require more system resources, so some models cannot play as many channels simultaneously as older models. If this message appears, reduce the number of playback channels to 2 or 3. On some recorders, selecting Sub Stream instead of Main Stream allows multiple channels to play at the same time, while Main Stream playback is often limited to a single channel.
