About the attached manual
When adjusting the volume,
MDs are much less noisy than analog cassette tapes. If
you adjust the volume while listening to noise in a silent
area like when using an analog cassette tape, the volume
may be unexpectedly loud and the speaker may be
damaged. Be sure to turn down the volume before starting
playback.
Condensation
Water droplets may form inside the unit, such as immediately
after turning on the room when it is cold. This is called
condensation. Not only will it not work properly as it is, but
it will also damage the MD and internal parts. It is
recommended that you remove the MD when you are not
using this unit. If condensation forms, leave the product on
for about 1 to several hours, then turn it on again before
using it. If it does not work properly after hours, please
contact a Sony service representative.
Installation location Do
not place in the following locations. • On a
wobbling table or in an unstable place. • On
rugs and duvets. • Humid or poorly ventilated
areas. • Dusty areas. • Places exposed to direct
sunlight or high temperatures. • Extremely cold
place. • Close to tuners, TVs and VCRs. (When
used with a tuner, TV, or VCR, if placed near it,
noise may occur or the image may be distorted. Especially
when using an indoor antenna, use an outdoor antenna.
It is recommended.)
Etiquette when listening to stereo When you
enjoy music in stereo, listen at a
volume that does not bother your
neighbors. Especially at night,
even a small sound often passes
around. Let's keep in mind each
other, such as closing windows
and using headphones, to protect
a comfortable living environment.
This mark is a symbol of sound
etiquette.
How to clean the main unit Wipe
the cabinet and panel surface with a soft cloth soaked in a
small amount of neutral detergent solution. Do not use
thinner, benzine, alcohol, etc. as they will damage the
surface.
Symbol Meaning
This operation is possible only with the
button on the remote control.

LP4 stereo mode (4x long-time recording mode) realizes
long-time stereo recording by a special compression
method. When sound quality is important, we recommend
stereo recording or LP2 stereo recording (double longer
recording).
The recording time can be doubled or quadrupled for
stereo recording (MDLP recording). In monaural
recording, the stereo signal is converted to monaural and
recorded. The recording time is about twice that of normal
stereo recording.
z When you selected LP2 or LP4 stereo recording in step
2, the MDLP indicator lights up and “LP2” or “LP4” is
displayed.

There are two methods, one is to attach it yourself and the other is to
attach it automatically. Adding a song number is convenient when you
want to find the beginning of a song or perform editing operations.
When digitally recording a CD or MD, the same
song number as the sound source CD or MD is
automatically added. To digitally record other sound
sources, or to automatically add song numbers when
analog recording is performed regardless of the type of
sound source, make the following settings. However, if
there is a lot of noise in the sound source such as tape
or radio, the song number cannot be added automatically.

It will be in the recording standby state.
Note
Recording will start using the sound stored in the memory at the
time of step 3 above. When the recording standby state or the
sound source is regenerated for 6 seconds or less, the sound for 6
seconds is not stored in the memory, so the sound 6 seconds ago
cannot be recorded.
When you press the button, it will start recording
the sound stored in the memory, and then continue
recording using the sound in the memory.
Recording will start automatically.
Press x to stop music sync recording .
Recording can be started at the same time as the sound
source connected to the input terminal is played. The

Note
Smart Space and Auto Cut (page 17) work automatically

When in the recording standby state, the unit starts storing
the sound from the sound source in the memory, and always
stores the sound up to about 6 seconds before that point.
When recording with a time machine, this unit records the
sound stored in the memory from the sound source, not the
sound from the sound source. When recording from satellite
