Note on DualDiscs

A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which mates DVD recorded material on one side with digital audio material on the other side. However, since the audio material side does not conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard, playback on this product is not guaranteed.

This product is designed to playback discs that conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard. Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies are marketed by some record companies.
Please be aware that among those discs, there are some that do not conform to the CD standard and may not be playable by this product.

Troubleshooting

  1. Make sure the power cord and speaker cords are correctly and firmly connected.
  2. Find your problem in the checklist below, and take the indicated corrective action.
    If the issue persists, contact your nearest Sony dealer.

If the STANDBY indicator flashes

Immediately unplug the power cord, and check the following item.

  • If your system has a voltage selector, is the voltage selector set to the correct voltage?

After the STANDBY indicator stops flashing, reconnect the power cord, and turn on the system. If the issue persists, contact your nearest Sony dealer.

General

There is no sound.

  • Are the + and – speaker cords short-circuited?
  • Are you using only the supplied speakers?
  • Is anything blocking the ventilation holes on the back of the system?

Sound comes from one channel, or the left and right volumes are unbalanced.

  • Place the speakers as symmetrically as possible.
  • Connect only the supplied speakers.

Severe hum or noise.

  • Move the system away from sources of noise.
  • Connect the system to a different wall socket.
  • Install a noise filter (available separately) to the power cord.

The remote does not function.

  • Remove any obstacles between the remote and the remote sensor  on the unit, and position the unit away from fluorescent lights.
  • Point the remote at the system's sensor.
  • Move the remote closer to the system.

CD/MP3 player

The sound skips, or the disc will not play.

  • Wipe the disc clean, and replace it.
  • Move the system to a location away from vibration (for example, on top of a stable stand).
  • Move the speakers away from the system, or place them on separate stands. At high volume, speaker vibration may cause the sound to skip.

Play does not start from the first track.

  • Return to Normal Play by pressing PLAY MODE repeatedly until both "PGM" and "SHUF" disappear.

Starting playback takes more time than usual.

  • The following discs take a longer time to start playback.

    • a disc recorded in multisession mode.
    • a disc that has not been finalized (a disc to which data can be added).
    • a disc that has many folders.

The disc tray does not open and "LOCKED" appears.

  • Contact your Sony dealer or local authorized Sony service facility.

Tuner

Severe hum or noise, or stations cannot be received. ("TUNED" or "STEREO" flashes on the display.)

  • Connect the antenna properly.
  • Find a location and an orientation that provide good reception, and then set up the antenna again.
  • Turn off nearby electrical equipment.

Tape deck

The sound exhibits excessive wow or flutter or dropout.

  • Clean the capstans and pinch rollers. Also, clean and demagnetize the tape heads. See "Precautions" for details.

To improve tuner reception

Precautions

Discs that this system CAN play

  • Audio CD
  • CD-R/CD-RW (audio data/MP3 files)

Discs that this system CANNOT play

  • CD-ROM
  • CD-R/CD-RW other than those recorded in music CD format or MP3 format conforming to ISO9660 Level 1/Level 2, Joliet or multisession
  • CD-R/CD-RW recorded in multisession that have not ended by "closing the session"
  • CD-R/CD-RW of poor recording quality, CD-R/CD-RW that have scratches or are dirty, or CD-R/CD-RW recorded with an incompatible recording device
  • CD-R/CD-RW which is finalized incorrectly
  • Discs containing files other than MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3 (MP3) files
  • Discs of non-standard shape (for example, heart, square, star)
  • Discs that have adhesive tape, paper, or sticker attached to them
  • Rental or used discs with attached seals where the glue extends beyond the seal
  • Discs that have labels printed using ink that feels tacky when touched

Notes on discs

  • Before playing, wipe the disc with a cleaning cloth from the center out to the edge.
  • Do not clean discs with solvents, such as benzine thinner, or commercially available cleaners or antistatic spray intended for vinyl LPs.
  • Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight.

On safety

  • The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall socket, even if the unit itself has been turned off.
  • Completely disconnect the power cord (mains lead) from the wall socket (mains) if it is not going to be used for an extended period of time. When unplugging the unit, always grip the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
  • Should any solid object or liquid get into the system, unplug the system, and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it again.
  • The AC power cord can be changed only by a qualified service facility.

On placement

  • Do not place the system in an inclined position or in locations that are extremely hot, cold, dusty, dirty, or humid or lacking adequate ventilation, or subject to vibration, direct sunlight or a bright light.
  • Be careful when placing the unit or speakers on surfaces that have been specially treated (for example, with wax, oil, polish) as staining or discoloration of the surface may result.
  • If the system is brought directly from a cold to a warm location or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lens inside the CD player, and cause the system to malfunction. In this situation, remove the disc, and leave the system turned on for about an hour until the moisture evaporates.

On heat buildup

  • Heat buildup on the unit during operation is normal and is not cause for alarm.
  • Do not touch the cabinet if it has been used continuously at a high volume because the cabinet may have become hot.
  • Do not obstruct the ventilation holes.

On the speaker system

This speaker system is not magnetically shielded, and the picture on nearby TV sets may become magnetically distorted. In this situation, turn off the TV, wait 15 to 30 minutes, and turn it back on.
If there is no improvement, move the speakers far away from the TV.

Cleaning the cabinet

Clean this system with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent, such as thinner, benzine, or alcohol.

To prevent a tape from being accidentally recorded over

Break off the cassette's overwrite protection tab from side A or B as illustrated.
Breaking off the cassette's overwrite protection tab

To later reuse the tape for recording, cover the broken tab with adhesive tape.

About a tape longer than 90 minutes

The use of the tape with more than 90 minutes of play time is not recommended except for long, continuous recording or playback.

Cleaning the tape heads

Use dry- or wet-type cleaning cassette (available separately) after every 10 hours of use, before you start an important recording, or after playing an old tape. Failure to clean the tape heads can cause degraded sound quality or an inability of the unit to record or play tapes.
For details, refer to the instructions of the cleaning cassette.

Demagnetizing the tape heads

Use a demagnetizing cassette (available separately) after every 20 to 30 hours of use. Failure to demagnetize the tape heads can cause an increase in noise, a loss of high frequency sound, and an inability to completely erase tapes. For details, refer to the instructions of the demagnetizing cassette.
