Korg MR-1000 noise floor problem

[PaoloKorg63]

Hi everybody,

I own a Korg MR-1000 (for a few years now) and I noticed that if a press the REC button, the V-meters move very slightly (2 or 3 lines) even with no input at all.

I don't remember if I noticed this behavior before, but is this normal?

Listening to the output in REC-standby at ridiculously hi levels (through a mixer and headphones) I can notice some sort of hard disk spinning noise in the background. Time to change the hard disk?

Does your Korg behave the same?

Thank you for your help (and forgive my English, I'm from Italy)

Ciao!

Paolo
