Troubleshooting
Incorrect operation is often mistaken for trouble or malfunction. If you think that there is something wrong with this component,
check the points below. Sometimes the trouble may lie in another component. Inspect the other components and electrical appliances

your dealer to carry out repair work.

Remedy
• Make sure the system is connected to an AC power outlet and that the cables are
connected correctly; see Connecting up on pages 15-16.
• Make sure the accidental erase-protect tab is closed (see page 10).
• Check that the disc in the player is not a playback-only MD.
• Even on MDs that have empty space for recording, the TOC may become full after
repeated recording and editing operations. Execute the all-track erase command (page
57) and record the disc from the beginning, or use another disc.
• Make sure the optical cable is connected properly.
• Make sure you are either in stereo, or one of the
LP
recording modes.
• Use another MD. The disc could be damaged.
• There could be condensation inside the recorder. Leave the unit for about an hour
before retrying playback.
• Tracks shorter than 12 seconds are sometimes not counted in the recording time
information. This is not a malfunction.
• All tracks consist of a number of two-second blocks. Often, the end of a track will fall
right at the beginning of one of these blocks. As a result, the actual available recording
time may be slightly shorter than the value calculated based on the displayed time
information. This is not a malfunction.
• The disc contains a damaged section, making that part unusable. This is not a
malfunction.
• It is not possible to combine two tracks where one was recorded using the digital
input, while the other was recorded using the analog input.
• It is not possible to combine two tracks recorded in different modes (for example,
LP
2
and stereo).
• The groups were created on a different MD recorder and the unit doesn’t recognize
them. Delete the disc name and set the groups again to restore use of the group feature.
• The MD has been edited on another MD recorder that is not compatible with this
unit’s group feature. Delete the disc name and set the groups again.
• Make sure that group play mode is switched off (page 31).
• It is possible that this unit will cause interference on nearby television sets, especially if you’re using the TV with an indoor
antenna. If you experience this problem, either use an outdoor television antenna, or move the MD player away from the
television.
• Static electricity and other external interference can cause the unit to temporarily malfunction. Try switching the power off and
unplugging from the wall outlet, then plugging in and switching on again.
