System limitations (continued)
You can make only a first-generation
2)
copy
through a digital-to-digital
connection.
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 first-generation 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.
2)
A first-generation copy means the first recording
of a digital audio source through the deck's
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.
Note
The restrictions of the Serial Copy Management
System do not apply when you make a recording
through the analog-to-analog connections.
Troubleshooting
If you experience any of the following
difficulties while using the deck, use this
troubleshooting guide to help you remedy the
problem. Should any problem persist, consult
your nearest Sony dealer.
The deck does not operate or operates poorly.
The MD may be dirty or damaged. Replace the
MD.
Only the following buttons are operable while the
MD deck is being controlled by a personal
computer.
?/1, INPUT, LEVEL/DISPLAY/CHAR
(DISPLAY, SCROLL, LEVEL +/– on the remote).

The deck does not play.
• Moisture has formed inside the deck. Take the
MD out and leave the deck in a warm place for
several hours until the moisture evaporates.
• The deck is not on. Press ?/1 to turn on the deck.
• The deck may not be connected to the amplifier
correctly. Check the connection (page 6).
• 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 16).
• The MD may not be recorded. Replace the disc
with one that has been recorded.
The sound has a lot of static.
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.
• The deck is not connected properly to the
program source. Check the connection (page 6).
• Select the correct program source using INPUT.
• The recording level is not adjusted properly.
Adjust the recording level (page 12).
• 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 19).
• 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 remote supplied with the MD deck is not set
correctly. Reset the remote.
A message and a three- or five-digit
alphanumeric code alternate in the display.
The Self-diagnosis function is on (page 33).
Note
If the deck does not operate properly even after you
have attempted the prescribed remedies, turn off the
deck, then re-insert the plug into the power outlet.
