Example
When 42 is displayed:
Higher bit : 4 = 0100 t b6
Lower bit : 2 = 0010 t b1
In this case, the retry cause is combined of “CLV unlock” and “ader5”.
Higher bit : 4 = 0100 t b6
Lower bit : 2 = 0010 t b1
In this case, the retry cause is combined of “CLV unlock” and “ader5”.
When A2 is displayed:
Higher bit : A = 1010 t b7 + b5
Lower bit : 2 = 0010 t b1
The retry cause in this case is combined of “Access fault”, “IVR rec error”, and “ader5”.
Higher bit : A = 1010 t b7 + b5
Lower bit : 2 = 0010 t b1
The retry cause in this case is combined of “Access fault”, “IVR rec error”, and “ader5”.

Example When 84 is displayed:
Higher bit : 8 = 1000 t b7
Lower bit : 4 = 0100 t b2
In this case, as b2 and b7 are 1 and others are 0, it can be determined that the retry cause is combined of “Emphasis OFF”, “Monaural”,
“Original”, “Copyright”, and “Write allowed”.
Lower bit : 4 = 0100 t b2
In this case, as b2 and b7 are 1 and others are 0, it can be determined that the retry cause is combined of “Emphasis OFF”, “Monaural”,
“Original”, “Copyright”, and “Write allowed”.
Example When 07 is displayed:
Higher bit : 0 = 0000 t All 0
Lower bit : 7 = 0111 t b0 + b1 + b2
In this case, as b0, b1, and b2 are 1 and others are 0, it can be determined that the retry cause is combined of “Emphasis ON”, “Stereo”,
“Original”, “Copyright”, and “Write prohibited”.
Lower bit : 7 = 0111 t b0 + b1 + b2
In this case, as b0, b1, and b2 are 1 and others are 0, it can be determined that the retry cause is combined of “Emphasis ON”, “Stereo”,
“Original”, “Copyright”, and “Write prohibited”.
