to a new group. A new group
cannot be created.

Troubleshooting

Should any problem persist after you have made these checks, consult your nearest Sony
dealer. Refer to "Messages" (page 52) as well.
Symptom
The recorder does
not work or works
poorly.
Cause
Group information has been written to the area where the
disc name is stored. The disc name and track names are
recorded in the same area, which can store a maximum of
approximately 1,700 characters. If the total number
exceeds this amount, a new group cannot be created even
though group mode is on. It is also impossible to make
group settings at this time.
Cause/Solution
• Audio sources may not be securely connected.
, Disconnect the audio sources once and connect them again
(pages 14, 20).
• The HOLD function is turned on ("HOLD" appears in the
display when you press an operation button).
, On the recorder, disable HOLD by sliding the HOLD switch
to the opposite direction of the arrow (pages 12, 44).
• The lid is not firmly closed.
, Close the lid until it clicks. Then press OPEN to open the lid.
• Moisture has condensed inside the recorder.
, Take the MD out and leave the recorder in a warm place for
several hours until the moisture evaporates.
• The dry battery is weak ("LoBATT" flashes or nothing appears).
, Replace the dry battery with the new one (page 11), or
connect the supplied AC power adaptor to the recorder.
• The dry battery have been inserted incorrectly.
, Insert the battery correctly (page 11).
• You pressed a button while the disc indication was rotating
quickly.
, Wait until the indication rotates slowly.
• When recording digitally from a portable CD player, you did not
use the AC power adaptor or did not disable the anti-skip
function such as ESP (page 16).
• The analog recording was made using a connecting cord with an
attenuator.
, Use a connecting cord without an attenuator (page 20).
• The AC power adaptor was unplugged during recording or a
power outage occurred.
