Precautions
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
Note on MDs
•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.
Proper location
• 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. |
of the labels
Shutter
• 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.
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.
System limitations
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.
