This system has a Self-diagnosis display function
to let you know if there is a system malfunction.
The display shows a code made up of three letters
and a message alternately to show you the
problem. To solve the problem refer to the
following list. If any problem persists, consult
your nearest Sony dealer.

cRemove the MD and slide the tab to close the
slot (see page 32).
C12/Cannot Copy

that the system does not support, such as a CD-
ROM.
cRemove the disc and turn off the system once,
then turn it on again.
C13/REC Error
Recording could not be performed properly.
cMove the system to a stable place, and start
recording over from the beginning.

not meet the standards.

the beginning.
