Additional Information
Track numbers are not marked correctly
Incorrect assignment or marking of track numbers may
result when CD tracks are divided into several smaller
tracks during digital recording. Also, when the
Automatic Track Marking is activated during recording,
track numbers may not be marked as in the original,
depending on the programme source.
“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 already been used.
The correct recorded/playing time may not be
displayed during playback of MDs recorded in
monaural mode.
Troubleshooting
If you experience any of the following difficulties while
using the deck, use this troubleshooting guide to help you
remedy the problem. Should any problem persist, consult
your nearest Sony dealer.
The deck does not operate or operates poorly.
, The MD may be dirty or damaged. Replace the
MD.
, The MD deck is being controlled by an external
device such as a personal computer. “REMOTE”
appears in the display and all the buttons on the
deck and the remote become inoperable.
The deck does not play.
, Moisture has formed inside the deck. Take the MD
out and leave the deck in a warm place for several
hours until the moisture evaporates.
, The deck is not on. Press ~/1 to turn on the deck.
, The deck may not be connected to the receiver
correctly. Check the connection.
, The MD is inserted in the wrong direction. Slide
the MD into the disc slot with the labelled side up
and the arrow pointing towards the slot.
, The MD may not be recorded. Replace the disc
with one that has been recorded.
The sound has a lot of static.
, Strong magnetism from a television or a similar
device is interfering with operations. Move the
deck away from the source of strong magnetism.
The deck does not record.
, The MD is record-protected. Slide the record-
protect tab and close the slot.
, The deck is not connected properly to the
programme source. Check the connection.
, Select the correct programme source using INPUT.
, The recording level is not adjusted properly.
Adjust the recording level.
, 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 mains lead
has been disconnected during recording. Data
recorded to that point may be lost. Repeat the
recording procedure.
A message and a three- or five-digit
alphanumeric code alternate in the display.
, The Self-Diagnosis Function is on. See the table on
page 46.
Note
If the deck does not operate properly even after you’ve attempted
the prescribed remedies, turn off the deck, then re-insert the plug
into the power outlet.
