3-1 Precautions
3-1-1 Installation Precautions
Install the MD deck on a flat surface in a temperature-
controlled room. Avoid using or storing the MD deck
at a location that is:
• extremely hot or cold.
• damp.
• subject to severe vibrations.
• subject to strong magnetic fields.
• subject to many hours of direct sunlight or close to
heating equipment.
3-1-2 Handling Precautions
• Check the MD deck’s operating voltage before you
plug it in. It must be identical with that of your local
power supply.
• If you drop any liquid or metal object inside the MD
deck, immediately stop using it, unplug the power
cord from the socket, and contact Sony service
personnel.
• If the MD deck will be unused for a long time, make
sure to unplug its power cord from the socket. When
unplugging the power cord, grasp it by the plug, not
the cord.
• Do not disassemble the MD deck. The laser light
used in the deck can cause damage to your eyes. If
the MD deck needs to be inspected, contact Sony
service personnel.
Caution
The use of optical instruments with this product will
increase eye hazard.
Condensation
Bringing in the MD deck from a cold place or turning
on the room heating may cause moisture to condense
on the lens within the MD deck, resulting in abnormal
operation. If this occurs, leave the power on. The
moisture will evaporate within an hour and the MD
deck will function normally again.
If the MD deck does not operate normally after a few
hours, contact Sony service personnel.
Chapter 3 Preparations
If trouble occurs
Should you detect an abnormal noise, smell, or smoke,
immediately turn off the power, unplug the power cord
from the socket, and contact Sony service personnel.
AC power cord
Do not use any power cord other than the one supplied
with the MD deck.
3-1-3 Shipping Precautions
When shipping the MD deck, make sure that the MD
deck is packed in its original carton. If not, any
damage that occurs to the MD deck during transport
will not be covered by the service warranty.
