Additional Information

Self-Diagnosis Function

The recorder’s self-diagnosis function automatically checks the condition of the MD recorder when an error occurs, then displays message. Refer to the table below to perform the indicated countermeasure. If after two or three attempts the problem persists, consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Message (code)	Cause/Remedy
Protected	The inserted MD is record-
	protected.
	/Take out the MD and close the
	record-protect slot (page 19)
Cannot copy (C12)	The external CD-ROM or video
	CD player is playing back a disk
	in a format that cannot be played
	back.
	/Remove the disk and insert a
	playable music CD

Cannot copy (C41) The sound source is a copy of a commercial music software, or a CD-R recorded CD.

/Because of the serial copy management system, the copy cannot be made (see page 61).

Copies also cannot be made from CD-Rs.

REC Error	the recording was not made
	properly.
	/Set the recorder on a stable
	surface, and repeat the recording

Message (code)	Cause/Remedy
Din Unlock	The sporadic appearance of this
	message is caused by the digital
	signal being recorded. This will
	not affect the recording.

	source, the connection cable was
	unplugged or the digital source
	was turned off.
	/Reconnect the cable, or turn
	the digital component’s power
	back on.

	internal information needed to
	actuate the recorder.
