Note on mechanical noise
The recorder gives off mechanical noise while
operating, which is caused by the power-saving
system of the recorder and it is not a problem.
To protect a recorded MD
To record-protect an MD, slide open the tab at
the side of the MD. In this position, the MD
cannot be recorded or edited. To record again,
slide the tab back so the tab is visible.
Note on digital recording
This recorder uses the Serial Copy
Management System, which allows only first-
generation digital copies to be made from
premastered software. You can only make
copies from a home-recorded MD by using the
analog connections.
Note on maintenance
Clean the terminal periodically with a cotton
swab or a soft cloth as illustrated below.
If you have any questions or problems
concerning your recorder, please consult your
nearest Sony dealer. (If a trouble occurred when
the disc was in the recorder, we recommend that
the disc be left in the recorder when you consult
your Sony dealer so that the cause of trouble
may be better understood.)
