•Be careful if your car is equipped with an electric current detector-type car-alarm system: when Timer-off recording or REC Continue mode ends, the alarm may mistakenly go off, detecting a change in the car’s electrical current.

•When an optional TV/video unit is connected, the monitor stays on during Timer-off recording or REC Continue mode. Turn the monitor off before leaving the car to reduce the likelihood of battery drain or theft.

If you have any questions or problems concerning your unit that are not covered in this manual, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Notes on recording

If you are going to make a recording that cannot be done over, it is recommended to make a test recording before actual recording.

IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE OF ANY NATURE, OR LOSSES OR EXPENSES RESULTING FROM ANY DEFECTIVE PRODUCT OR THE USE OF ANY PRODUCT.

Moisture condensation

On a rainy day or in a very damp area, moisture may condense on the lenses inside the unit. Should this occur, the unit will not operate properly. In such a case, remove the disc and wait for about an hour until the moisture has evaporated.

To maintain high sound quality

If you have drink holders near your audio equipment, be careful not to splash juice or other soft drinks onto the unit and MD. Sugary residues on the unit or MD may contaminate the lenses inside the unit, reduce the sound quality, or prevent sound reproduction altogether.

Notes on MDs

Since the disc itself is housed in a cartridge, free from accidental contact with your fingers and dust, MDs can withstand a certain degree of rough handling. However, dirt or dust on the surface of the cartridge or a warped cartridge may cause a malfunction. Observe the following for best results.

Never touch the surface of the disc itself by deliberately opening the shutter on the cartridge.

When you eject the MD, the shutter may be open. In such a case, close the shutter immediately.

Do not expose the MD to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot-air ducts. Do not leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight where there can be a considerable rise in temperature. Make sure the MD is not left on the dashboard or rear tray of a car, etc. where the temperature can also be excessive.
