Troubleshooting

If you experience any of the following difficulties
while using the deck, use this troubleshooting
guide to help you remedy the problem. Should
any problem persist, consult your nearest Sony
dealer.
The deck does not operate or operates
poorly.
• The MD may be dirty or damaged. Replace
the MD.
• When the MD deck is connected to a
computer and the operating system is running,
you can only use the x/Z button (for ejecting
the MD while the deck is stopped).
The deck does not play.
• Moisture has formed inside the deck. Take
the MD out and leave the deck in a warm
place for several hours until the moisture
evaporates.
• The deck may not be connected to the
amplifier correctly. Check the connection.
• The MD is inserted in the wrong direction.
Slide the MD into the disc slot with the label
side up and the arrow pointing towards the
slot.
• The MD may not be recorded. Replace the
disc with one that has been recorded.
The sound has a lot of static.
• Strong magnetism from a television or a
similar device is interfering with operations.
Move the deck away from the source of
strong magnetism.
The deck does not record.
• The MD is record-protected. Slide the record-
protect tab and close the slot.
• The deck is not connected properly to the
computer. Check the connection.
• A premastered MD is inserted. Replace it
with a recordable MD.
• There is not enough time left on the MD.
Replace it with another recordable MD with
fewer recorded tracks, or erase unnecessary
tracks.
• There has been a power failure or the AC
power adaptor has been disconnected during
recording. Data recorded to that point may be
lost. Repeat the recording procedure.
