Precautions (continued)
On operation
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 or the MD deck. Should this occur, the system
will not operate properly. Remove the CD or MD and
leave the system turned on for about an hour until the
moisture evaporates.
On transportation
• Make sure you remove discs, and turn off the
system. If you move the system with the discs
inserted, you may be unable to remove the discs.
• Before you move the system, turn off the system
and make sure all operations have finished.
If you have any questions or problems concerning
your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
Notes on MDs
• If you try to force the shutter open, the disc may be
damaged. If the shutter opens, close it immediately
without touching the disc inside.
• Affix the label supplied with the disc only to the
specified label indentation. Do not affix the label
around the shutter or in other locations. Note that
the shape of the indentation depends on the disc.
Label
position
• Wipe the disc cartridge with a dry cloth to remove
dirt.
• Do not expose the MD to direct sunlight or heat
sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car
parked in direct sunlight.
Cleaning the cabinet
Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild
detergent solution.

System limitations of
MDs
The recording system in your MD deck has the
limitations described below.
Note, however, that these limitations are due to
the inherent nature of the MD recording system
itself, not to mechanical causes.
"MD Disc Full" appears before
the MD has reached the
maximum recording time
When 255 tracks have been recorded on the MD,
"MD Disc Full" appears regardless of the total
recorded time. More than 255 tracks cannot be
recorded on the MD. To continue recording, erase
unnecessary tracks or use another recordable MD.
"MD Disc Full" appears before
the maximum number of tracks
(255) is reached
Fluctuations in emphasis within tracks are sometimes
interpreted as track intervals, increasing the track
count and causing "MD Disc Full" to appear.
The remaining recording time
does not increase even after
erasing numerous short tracks
Tracks shorter than 12 seconds are not counted, so
Shutter
erasing them may not increase the recording time.
Some tracks cannot be
combined with others
Track combination may become impossible when
tracks are shorter than 8 seconds.
The total recorded time and the
remaining time on the MD do not
add up to the maximum
recording time
Recording is done in minimum units of 2 seconds
each, no matter how short the material. The recorded
contents may be shorter than the maximum recording
capacity. Disc space may also be reduced by
scratches.
