Troubleshooting
If you experience any of the following difficulties while
using the deck, use this troubleshooting guide to help
you remedy the problem.
CD player section
The player does not start playing.
/ Insert a CD.
/ Place the CD properly.
/ Clean the CD.
/ Moisture condensation has formed inside the deck.
Take the CD out and leave the deck turned on for
about an hour until the moisture evaporates.
MD deck section
The deck does not operate or operates poorly.
/ The MD may be damaged (“Read Error” appears).
Take the MD out and insert it again.
If “Read Error” remains, replace the MD.
The deck does not play back.
/ 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.
/ Press 1/u to turn the deck on.
/ Slide the MD into the disc slot with the label side up
and the arrow pointing towards the opening.
/ Replace the disc with one that has been recorded.
The deck does not record.
/ The MD is record-protected (“Protected” and “C11”
alternate).
Close the record-protect slot (see page 9).
/ Make connections properly to the sound source.
/ The sound source is not connected to the selected input
connector. Select the correct input connector using
INPUT.
/ The recording level is not adjusted properly. Adjust
the recording level properly (see page 23).
/ 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 cord
has been disconnected during recording. Data
recorded to that point may be lost. Repeat the
recording procedure.
The deck does not edit.
/ Press PLAY MODE repeatedly until “PROGRAM” and
“SHUFFLE” disappear.

After you’ve attempted the prescribed
remedies

problems not described above occur, turn off the deck,
then reinsert the plug into the power outlet.
If the problem persists, reset the system as follows:
1 Turn off the deck and unplug the AC power cord.
2 Reinsert the plug into the power outlet while
pressing down 1/u.
Should any problem persist even after resetting the
system, consult your nearest Sony dealer.
