Additional Information

• You may feel pain in your ears if you use the

headphones when the ambient air is very

dry. This is not because of a malfunction of

the headphones, but because of static

electricity accumulated in your body. You

can reduce static electricity by wearing non-

synthetic clothes that prevent the emergence

of static electricity.

• Should any solid object or liquid fa ll into the

unit, remove the batteries and have the unit

checked by qualified personnel before

operating it any further.

On maintenance

To clean the exterior, use a soft cloth slightly

moistened in water. Do not use alcohol,

benzine or thinner.

If you have any questions or problems

concerning your unit, please consult your

nearest Sony dealer.

On the AC power adaptor

• Use the supplied

AC power adaptor

for the PCM

recorder. Do not

use any other AC

power adaptor.

• Connect the AC power adaptor to an easily

accessible wall outlet close by. If trouble

occurs while using the adaptor, immediately

shut off the power by disconnecting the plug

from the wall outlet.

• Do not use the AC power Adaptor placed in

a narrow space, such as between a wall and

furniture.

• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, avoid

placing the AC power adaptor in a location

subject to humidity.

On using a memory card

• When formatting (initializing) a memor y

card, make sure to use the PCM recorder to

format it. Memory cards formatted with

Windows or other devices may be

recognized as incompatible media and

cannot be used with the PCM recorder.

• If you format a memory card containing

recorded data, the recorded data will be

deleted. Be careful not to delete important

data.

• Do not leave a memory card within the reach

of small children. They might accidentally

swallow it.

Backup recommendations

To avoid potential risk of data loss caused

by accidental operation or malfunction of

the PCM recorder, we recommend that you

save a backup copy of your recorded tracks

on a tape recorder or to a computer, etc.
