Troubleshooting
Should any problem persist after you have made these checks,
consult your nearest Sony dealer.
The recorder does not work or works poorly.
• Audio sources may not be firmly connected.
— Disconnect the audio sources once and connect them again
(pages 14, 23).
• The HOLD function is turned on (“HOLD” appears in the display
when you press an operation button on the recorder).
— Disable HOLD by moving the HOLD switch in the opposite
direction of the arrow (pages 12, 38).
• Moisture has condensed inside the recorder.
— Take the MD out and leave the recorder in a warm place with the
lid open for several hours until the moisture evaporates.
• The rechargeable battery or dry battery is weak (r or “LOW
BATT” flashes).
— Charge the rechargeable battery or replace the dry battery
(page 50).
• The rechargeable battery or dry battery have been inserted
incorrectly.
— Insert the battery correctly (page 11).
• You pressed a button while the disc indication was rotating quickly.
— Wait until the indication rotates slowly.
• The analog recording was made using a connecting cord with an
attenuator.
— Use a connecting cord without an attenuator (page 23).
• While operating, the recorder received a mechanical shock, too
much static, abnormal power voltage caused by lightning, etc.
— Restart the operation as follows.
1 Disconnect all the power sources.
2 Leave the recorder for about 30 seconds.
3 Connect the power source.
• The disc is damaged or does not contain proper recording or editing
data.
— Reinsert the disc. If this fails, rerecord.
