“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 39).
• 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 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 damaged (“Disc Error” appears).
Take the MD out and insert it again. If “Disc Error”

and leave the deck in a warm place for several hours
until the moisture evaporates.
/The deck is not on. Press 1/u to turn the deck on.
/The MD is inserted in the wrong direction. Slide the
MD into the disc slot with the label side up and the
arrow pointing towards the opening.

not appear). Replace the disc with one that has been
recorded.
The deck does not record.
/The MD is record-protected (“Protected” alternates
with “C11” in the display).
Close the record-protect slot (see page 10).
/The deck is not connected properly to the sound
source. Make connections properly to the sound
source.
/The recording level is not adjusted properly. Adjust the
recording level properly (see page 15).

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.

has been disconnected during recording. Data
recorded to that point may be lost. Repeat the
recording procedure.
The deck does not work during synchro-recording.
/The currently selected CD player type (CD player or
video CD player) does not match the CD player being
used. Reset the CD player type (see page 19).

selector to CD1.

is interfering with operations. Move the deck away
from the source of strong magnetism.
