Troubleshooting

If you experience trouble with your recorder, try the following solutions.

1Turn off the recorder completely by removing the batteries and

the AC power adaptor, and then turn it on again. Or use the recorder

to initialize the built-in memory or the “Memory Stick PRO (High Speed).” (Note that initializing will delete all data in the memory.)

2Read through the symptoms and solutions on pages 41 to 43 and messages on pages 44 and 45 to check your recorder.

3If the problem persists, consult with qualified Sony personnel (see the warranty for contact information).
