Precautions Display Messages
On safety
• The use of optical instruments with this product will
increase eye hazard.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, implug
the deck and have it checked by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
On power sources
• Before operating the deck, check that the operating voltage
of the deck is identical with your local power supply. The
operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate at the rear of
the deck.
• If you are not going to use the deck for a long time, be sure
to disconnect the deck from the wall outlet. To disconnect
the AC power cord, grasp the plug itself; never pull the
cord.
On operation
If the deck is brought directly from a cold to a warm location,
or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on
the lenses inside the deck. Should this occur, the deck may not
operate properly. In this case, remove the MD and leave the
deck turned on for about an hour until the moisture
evaporates.
On the MiniDisc cartridge
• Do not open the shutter to expose the MD.
• Do not place the cartridge where it will be subject to
extremes of sunlight, temperature, moisture or dust.
On cleaning
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth slightly
moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type
of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or
benzine.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your
deck, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
The following table explains the various messages that
