Error Messages

When the unit ceases to operate correctly due to
malfunction or an internal system error, the alarm will
sound and an error message will be displayed on the
display.
Only one message will be displayed even when multiple
errors occur, but the error log menu keeps a history of the
errors.
For more information about error messages, refer to the
Maintenance Manual.
After the error occurs, eliminate the cause of the error and
turn the unit back on. If the error message appears again
when the unit is turned on, contact your Sony
representative.
For more information about eliminating errors, refer to
the Maintenance Manual (Volume 1).

mode.
Note
When a cassette is stuck in the unit because of protection
mode, make sure to disconnect the power before removing
