“TOC Reading” appears for a long time
If the inserted recordable MD is brand new, “TOC Reading”
appears in the display longer than for MDs that have been
used.
Limitations when recording over an existing track
• The correct remaining recording time may not be
displayed.
• You may find it impossible to record over a track if that
track has been recorded over several times already. If this
happens, erase the track using the Erase Function (see
page 20.)
• The remaining recording time may be shortened out of
proportion to the total recorded time.
• Recording over a track to eliminate noise is not
recommended since this may shorten the duration of the
track.
• You may find it impossible to label a track while
recording over it.
The correct recorded/playing time may not be displayed
during playback of monaural-format MDs.
Troubleshooting
If you experience any of the following difficulties while
using the recorder, use this troubleshooting guide to help
you remedy the problem. Should any problem persist,
consult your nearest Sony dealer.

/The MD may be damaged (“Disc Error” appears.)
Take the MD out and insert it again. If “Disc Error”

MD out and leave the recorder in a warm place for
several hours until the moisture evaporates.
/The recorder is not on. Press U to turn the recorder
on.
/The MD is inserted in the wrong direction. Slide the
MD into the disc compartment with the label side up
and the arrow pointing towards the opening until
the recorder grips it.

does not appear). Replace the disc with one that has
been recorded.

Close the record-protect slot (see page 7.)
/The recorder is not connected properly to the sound
source. Make connections properly to the sound
source.

of input through LINE (ANALOG) IN.) Turn REC
LEVEL to adjust the recording level properly (see
page 11.)
/A premastered MD is inserted. Replace it with a
recordable MD.
/There is not enough time left on the MD. Replace it
with another recordable MD with fewer recorded
tracks, or erase unnecessary tracks.
/There has been a power failure or the AC power
cord has been disconnected during recording. Data
recorded to that point may be lost. Repeat the
recording procedure.
The recorder does not work during synchro-recording.

Strong magnetism from a television or a similar
device is interfering with operations. Move the
recorder away from the source of strong magnetism.

attempted the prescribed remedies, turn off the power, then
reinsert the plug into the power outlet.
