The deck’s self-diagnosis function
automatically checks the condition of the MD
deck when an error occurs, then issues a three-
or five-digit code and an error message on the
display. If the code and message alternate, find
them in the following table and perform the
indicated countermeasure. Should the problem
persist, consult your nearest Sony dealer.
C11/Protected
,
Take out the MD and close the record-protect
slot (page 9).
C12/Cannot Copy

external device connected to the deck does not
support, such as CD-ROM or video CD.
,
Remove the disc and insert a music CD.
C13/REC Error
,
Set the deck in a stable surface, and repeat the
recording procedure.
• The inserted MD is dirty (with smudges,
fingerprints, etc.), scratched, or substandard in
quality.

procedure.
C13/Read Error

C41/Cannot Copy

CD-R (Recordable CD).
,
The Serial Copy Management System
prevents making a digital copy (page 31). You
cannot record a CD-R.
C71/Din Unlock
• The sporadic appearance of this message is
caused by the digital signal being recorded. This
will not affect the recording.

connected through the DIGITAL IN connector,
the digital connecting cable was unplugged or the
digital component turned off.
,
Connect the cable or turn the digital
component back on.
