On safety
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet,
unplug the deck and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
On power sources
• Before operating the deck, check that the
operating voltage of the deck is identical with
your local power supply. The operating voltage
is indicated on the nameplate at the rear of the
deck.
• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power
source (mains) as long as it is connected to the
mains, even if the unit itself has been turned off.
• If you are not going to use the deck for a long
time, be sure to disconnect the deck from the
mains. To disconnect the mains lead, grasp the
plug itself; never pull the cord.
• Mains lead must be changed only at the
qualified service shop.
On condensation in the deck
If the deck is brought directly from a cold to a
warm location, or is placed in a very damp
room, moisture may condense on the lenses
inside the deck. Should this occur, the deck may
not operate properly. In this case, remove the
MD and leave the deck turned on for several
hours until the moisture evaporates.
On cleaning
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft
cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent
solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad,
scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or
benzine.
If you have any questions or problems
concerning your deck, please consult your
nearest Sony dealer.
• Do not touch the internal disc directly. Forcing
the shutter open may damage the internal disc.
• Be sure to stick the labels supplied with the MD
to the appropriate positions. The shape of the
labels may vary depending on the MD brand.
Where to keep the MDs
Do not place the cartridge where it may be
exposed to direct sunlight or extremely high
heat and humidity.
Regular maintenance
Wipe dust and debris from the surface of the
cartridge with a dry cloth.
The recording system in your deck is radically
different from those used in cassette and DAT
decks and is characterized by the limitations
described below. Note, however, that these
limitations are due to the inherent nature of the
MD recording system itself and not to
mechanical causes.
“Disc Full!” appears in the display
even before the MD has reached the
maximum recording time
When 255 tracks have been recorded to the MD,
“Disc Full!” appears regardless of the total
recorded time. More than 255 tracks cannot be
recorded to the MD. To continue recording,
erase unnecessary tracks or use another
recordable MD.
