The sound may drop-out while
searching the edited tracks
Tracks created through editing may exhibit sound
dropout during searching because high-speed
playback requires time to search for the position on
the disc when the tracks are not in order.
Track numbers cannot be
marked
When "LEVEL-SYNC" (see page 24) lights up in the
display window during analogue recording, the track
numbers may not be marked at the beginning of the
track:
• if the input signal is below a certain fixed level for
less than two seconds between tracks.
• if the input signal is below a certain fixed level for
more than two seconds in the middle of the track.
Guide to the Serial Copy
Management System
Digital audio components, such as CDs, MDs, and
DATs let you copy music easily with high quality by
processing music as a digital signal.
To protect the copyrighted music programmes, this
system uses the Serial Copy Management System that
allows you to make only a single copy of a digitally
recorded source through digital-to-digital
connections.
You can make only a first generation copy*
through a digital-to-digital connection.
That is:
1 You can make a copy of a commercially available
digital sound programme (for example, a CD or
MD), but you cannot make a second copy from the
first-generation copy.
2 You can make a copy of a digital signal from a
digitally recorded analogue sound programme (for
example, an analogue record or a music cassette
tape) or from a digital satellite broadcast
programme, but you cannot make a second copy.
* A first-generation copy means a digital recording
of a digital signal made on digital audio
equipment. For example, if you record from this
system's CD player to the MD deck, you make a
first-generation copy.
Note
This copy management system doesn't apply when
you make a recording through analogue-to-analogue
connections.

Troubleshooting

If you have any problem using this system, use the
following checklist.
First, check that the mains lead is connected
firmly and that the speakers are connected
correctly and firmly.
Should any problem persist, consult your nearest
Sony dealer. When bringing the system in for
repairs, be sure to bring in the entire system. This
product is a system product, and the entire system
is needed to determine the location requiring
repair.
An MD cannot be inserted.
• Insert the MD with the arrow side up and the
arrow pointing toward the deck.
The controls do not work.
• Replace the MD with a new one.
• Retry the operations after "TOC" turns off.
Play does not start.
• Replace the MD.
• Insert the MD and leave the system turned on
for a few hours until the moisture evaporates.
• Press H on the MD deck to start play.
The sound skips.
• Replace the MD.
• Try moving the system to a place without
vibration (e.g., on top of a stable stand).
• Try moving the speakers away from the
system, or placing them on separate stands.
When you listen to a track with bass sounds at
high volume, the speaker vibration may cause
the sound to skip.
• Insert the disc and wait for a few hours with
the system turned on.
