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 “L-SYNC” (page 34) lights up in the display window during analogue recording, the track numbers may not be marked at the beginning of the track:

•if you repeatedly record the same track on the same disc using 1-track repeat, etc.

•if you record tracks on different discs but which have the same track number in succession.

•if the input signal is below a certain fixed level for less than 2 seconds between tracks.

•if the input signal is below a certain fixed level for more than 2 seconds in the middle of the track.

•if you record a track that is 4 seconds or less*.

*During Stereo, Monaural or LP2 Stereo recording mode. (In LP4 Stereo recording mode: 8 seconds or less)

Guide to the Serial CopyManagement 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 programmes, 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.

For example:

1You can make a copy of a commercially available digital sound programme (for example, a CD or MD), but you cannot make a second copy from the first-generation copy.

2You can make a copy of a digital signal from a digitally recorded analogue sound programme (for example, an analogue record or a music cassette tape) or from a digital satellite broadcast programme, 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.

Note

This copy management system doesn’t apply when you make a recording through analogue-to-analogue connections.

Troubleshooting

If you have any problem using this system, use the following checklist.

First, check that the mains lead is connected firmly and that the speakers are connected correctly and firmly.

Should any problem persist, consult your nearest Sony dealer.

General

The display starts flashing as soon as you plug in the mains lead even though you have not turned on the system (demonstration mode).

•Press DISPLAY (European model) or DEMO (STANDBY) (other models) when the system is turned off.

The demonstration disappears.

The demonstration mode appears automatically the first time you plug in the mains lead or if there is a power failure lasting longer than half a day.

The clock setting/radio presetting/timer is cancelled.

•The mains lead is disconnected or a power failure occurs longer than half a day. Redo the followings:

—“Step 2: Setting the time” on page 7

—“Step 3: Presetting radio stations” on page 8

If you have set the timer, also redo “Waking up to music” on page 63 and “Timer- recording radio programmes” on page 65.

“– –:– –” lights up in the display.

• Set the clock and timer again.

There is no sound.

•Turn VOLUME clockwise.

•The headphones are connected.

•Insert only the stripped portion of the speaker cord into the SPEAKER jack. Inserting the vinyl portion of the speaker cord will obstruct the speaker connections.

•There is no audio output during timer recording and High-Speed CD-MD Synchro Recording.
