Additional Information
On safety
è Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug
the recorder and have it checked by qualified personnel
before operating it any further.
On power sources
e Before operating the recorder, check that the operating
voltage of the recorder is identical with your local power
supply. The operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate
at the rear of the recorder.
e If you are not going to use the recorder for a long time, be
sure to disconnect the recorder from the wall outlet. To
disconnect the AC power cord, grasp the plug itself; never
pull the cord.
On operation
e If the recorder is brought directly from a cold to a warm
location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may
condense on the lenses inside the recorder. Should this
occur, the recorder may not operate properly. In this case,
remove the MD and leave the recorder turned on for about
an hour until the moisture evaporates.
On the MiniDisc cartridge
¢ Do not open the shutter to expose the MD.
e Do not place the cartridge where it will be subject to
extremes of sunlight, temperature, moisture or dust.
On cleaning
e Clean the cabinet, panel and controls 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 alcohol or benzine.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your
recorder, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
