following checklist.
First, check that the mains lead is connected
firmly and that the speakers are connected
correctly and firmly.
Should any problem persist, consult your nearest
Sony dealer.
General
There is no sound.
• Turn VOLUME clockwise.
• Make sure the headphones are not connected.
• Check the speaker connections (see page 4).
• High-Speed CD-MD Synchro Recording is
underway.
Sound comes from one channel, or
unbalanced left and right volume.
• Connect the speaker cords properly (see
page 4).
• Place the speakers as symmetrically as
possible.
• Connect only one of the supplied speakers to
each set of speaker terminals.
• Connect the supplied speakers.
There is severe hum or noise.
• Move the system away from the source of
noise.
• Connect the system to a different mains.
• Install a noise filter (commercially available)
to the mains line.
“– –:– – ” appears in the display.
• Set the clock again (see page 6).
The timer cannot be set.
• Set the clock again (see page 6).

The sound may drop-out while
searching the edited tracks
Tracks created through editing may exhibit sound
dropout during searching because high-speed
playback requires time to search for the position on
the disc when the tracks are not in order.
Track numbers cannot be
marked
When “L-SYNC” (page 35) lights up in the display
window during analogue recording, the track numbers
may not be marked at the beginning of the track:
• if the input signal is below a certain fixed level for
less than 2 seconds between tracks.
• if the input signal is below a certain fixed level for
more than 2 seconds in the middle of the track.
• if you record a track that is 4 seconds or less*.
* During Stereo, Monaural or LP2 Stereo recording
mode. (In LP4 Stereo recording mode: 8 seconds
or less)
Extra tracks are created
When there is a long silence between CD tracks, an
extra track may be created.
Guide to the Serial Copy
Management System
Digital audio components, such as CDs, MDs, and
DATs let you copy music easily with high quality by
processing music as a digital signal.
To protect the copyrighted music programmes, this
system uses the Serial Copy Management System that
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 copy
*
through a digital-to-digital connection.
For example:
1
You can make a copy of a commercially available
digital sound programme (for example, a CD or
MD), but you cannot make a second copy from the
first-generation copy.
2
You can make a copy of a digital signal from a
digitally recorded analogue sound programme (for
example, an analogue record or a music cassette
tape) or from a digital satellite broadcast
programme, but you cannot make a second copy.
* A first-generation copy means a digital recording of
a digital signal made on digital audio equipment.
For example, if you record from this system’s CD
player to the MD deck, you make a first-generation
copy.
Note
This copy management system doesn’t apply when
you make a recording through analogue-to-analogue
connections.
