Under normal conditions, the batteries should last for about six months. When the remote no longer operates the deck, replace both batteries with new ones.
Do not leave the remote in an extremely hot or humid place. Do not drop any foreign object into the remote casing, particularly when replacing the batteries. Do not use a new battery with an old one. Do not expose the remote sensor to direct sunlight or lighting apparatus. Doing so may cause a malfunction. If you dont use the remote for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to avoid possible damage from battery leakage and corrosion.

It may take about 30 seconds after the deck is turned on until recording starts. When recording at a specified time using the timer, be sure to take this time into account when setting the recording start time. During timer recording, new material is recorded from the end of the recorded portion on the MD. Material recorded during timer recording will be saved to the disc the next time you turn on the deck. TOC Writing will flash in the display at that time. Do not disconnect the AC power cord or move the deck while the indication flashes. Timer recording will stop if the disc becomes full.

On condensation in the deck
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 several hours 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.

Handling MDs

The MD is enclosed in a cartridge to protect the disc from debris or fingerprints and to make it easy to handle. However, the presence of debris or a warped cartridge may inhibit the disc from operating properly. To ensure that you can always listen to the highest quality music, follow the precautions below: Do not touch the internal disc directly. Forcing the shutter open may damage the internal disc. Be sure to stick the labels supplied with the MD to the appropriate positions. The shape of the labels may vary depending on the MD brand.
Proper location of the labels
The remaining recording time does not increase even after erasing numerous short tracks
Tracks under 12 seconds* in length are not counted and so erasing them may not lead to an increase in the recording time.
* During stereo recording. In MONO or LP2 mode: about 24 seconds In LP4 mode: about 48 seconds
The total recorded time and the remaining recordable time on the MD may not total the maximum recording time

Shutter

Recording is done in minimum units of two seconds* each, no matter how short the material is. The contents recorded may thus be shorter than the maximum recording capacity. Disc space may also be further reduced by scratches.
* During stereo recording. In MONO or LP2 mode: about 4 seconds In LP4 mode: about 8 seconds

Where to keep the MDs

Limitations when recording over an existing track
Do not place the cartridge where it may be exposed to direct sunlight or extremely high heat and humidity.

Handling MDs/System limitations
The correct recorded/playing time may not be displayed during play of MDs recorded in monaural mode.
, The MD is inserted in the wrong direction. Slide the MD into the disc slot with the label side up and the arrow pointing toward the slot (page 4). , The MD may not be recorded. Replace the disc with one that has been recorded.
The sound has a lot of static.
Guide to the Serial Copy Management System Digital audio components, such as CDs, MDs, and DATs, make it easy to produce high-quality copies of music by processing music as a digital signal. To protect copyrighted music sources, this deck uses the Serial Copy Management System, which allows you to make only a single copy of a digitally recorded source through digital-to-digital connections.
You can make only a first-generation copy1) through a digital-to-digital connection.
, 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.
Examples are as follows: You can make a copy of a commercially available digital sound program (for example, a CD or MD), but you cannot make a second copy from the firstgeneration copy. You can make a copy of a digital signal from a digitally recorded analog sound program (for example, an analog record or a music cassette tape) or from a digital satellite broadcast program, but you cannot make a second copy from the first-generation copy.
1) A first-generation copy means the first recording of a digital audio source through the decks digital input connector. For example, if you record from a CD player connected to the DIGITAL IN connector, that copy is a first-generation copy.
, The MD is record-protected. Slide the record-protect tab and close the slot (page 15). , The deck is not connected properly to the program source. Check the connection (page 11). , Select the correct program source using INPUT. , The recording level is not adjusted properly. Adjust the recording level (page 17). , 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 (page 31). , 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 perform Synchro-recording with a CD player or video CD player.
The restrictions of the Serial Copy Management System do not apply when you make a recording through the analog-to-analog connections.
