Troubleshooting
If you have any problem using this system, use the
following checklist.
First, check that the power cord is connected
firmly and that the speakers are connected
correctly and firmly.
Should any problem persist, consult your nearest
Sony dealer.
General
There is no sound.
• Turn VOLUME clockwise.
• Make sure the headphones are not connected.
• Check the speaker connections (see page 4).
Sound comes from one channel, or
unbalanced left and right volume.
• Connect the speaker cords properly (see
page 4).
• Place the speakers as symmetrically as
possible.
• Connect only one of the supplied speakers to
each set of speaker terminals.
• Connect the supplied speakers.
There is severe hum or noise.
• Move the system away from the source of
noise.
• Connect the system to a different wall outlet.
• Install a noise filter (commercially available)
to the power line.
“0:00” (for European model) or “12:00 AM”
(for other models) flashes in the display.
• Set the clock and timer again (see pages 6, 66
and 68).
The timer cannot be set.
• Set the clock again (see page 6).
The sound may drop-out while
searching the edited tracks
Tracks created through editing may exhibit sound
dropout during searching because high-speed
playback requires time to search for the position on
the disc when the tracks are not in order.
Track numbers cannot be
marked
When “LEVEL-SYNC” (page 37) lights up in the
display window during analog recording, the track
numbers may not be marked at the beginning of the
track:
• if the input signal is below a certain fixed level for
less than two seconds between tracks.
• if the input signal is below a certain fixed level for
more than two seconds in the middle of the track.
Guide to the Serial Copy
Management System
Digital audio components, such as CDs, MDs, and
DATs let you copy music easily with high quality by
processing music as a digital signal.
To protect the copyrighted music programs, this
system uses the Serial Copy Management System that
allows you to make only a single copy of a digitally
recorded source through digital-to-digital
connections.
You can make only a first generation copy*
through a digital-to-digital connection.
That is:
1 You can make a copy of a commercially available
digital sound program (for example, a CD or MD),
but you cannot make a second copy from the first-
generation copy.
2 You can make a copy of a digital signal from a
digitally recorded analog sound program (for
example, an analog record or a music cassette tape)
or from a digital satellite broadcast program, but
you cannot make a second copy.
* A first-generation copy means a digital recording
of a digital signal made on digital audio
equipment. For example, if you record from this
system’s CD player to the MD deck, you make a
first-generation copy.
