SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION

The self-diagnosis function consists of error codes for customers which are displayed automatically when errors occur, and error codes which

show the error history in the test mode during servicing. For details on how to view error codes for the customer, refer to the following box

in the instruction manual. For details on how to check error codes during servicing, refer to the following "Procedure for using the Self-

Diagnosis Function (Error History Display Mode)".

Procedure for using the Self-Diagnosis Function (Error History Display Mode).

Note: Perform the self-diagnosis function in the "error history display mode" in the test mode. The following describes the least required

procedure. Be careful not to enter other modes by mistake. If you set other modes accidentally, press the MENU/NO button to exit

the mode.

Self-diagnosis function

The deck's self-diagnosis function automatically checks

the condition of the MD deck when an error occurs, then

issues a three- or five-digit code and an error message on

the display. If the code and message alternate, find them in

the following table and perform the indicated

countermeasure. Should the problem persist, consult your

nearest Sony dealer.

Three- or five-

digit code/

Message

Cause/Remedy

C11/Protected

The inserted MD is record-protected.

, Take out the MD and close the record-

protect slot.

C12/Cannot Copy

You tried to record a CD with a format

that the external device connected to the

deck does not support, such as CD-ROM

or video CD.

, Remove the disc and insert a music

CD.

C13/REC Error

The recording was not made properly.

, Set the deck in a stable surface, and

repeat the recording procedure.

The inserted MD is dirty (with smudges,

fingerprints, etc.), scratched, or

substandard in quality.

, Replace the disc and repeat the

recording procedure.

C13/Read Error

The deck could not read the TOC on the

MD properly.

, Take out the MD and insert it again.

C14/Toc Error

The deck could not read the TOC on the

MD properly.

, Insert another disc.

, If possible, erase all the tracks on the

MD .

C41/Cannot Copy

The sound source is a copy of

commercially available music software, or

you tried to record a CD-R (Recordable

CD).

, The Serial Copy Management System

prevents making a digital copy.

You cannot record a CD-R.

C71/Din Unlock

The sporadic appearance of this message

is caused by the digital signal being

recorded. This will not affect the

recording.

While recording from a digital component

connected through the DIGITAL IN

connector, the digital connecting cable

was unplugged or the digital component

turned off.

, Connect the cable or turn the digital

component back on.

E0001/

MEMORY NG

There is an error in the internal data that

the deck needs in order to operate.

, Consult your nearest Sony dealer.

E0101/

LASER NG

There is a problem with the optical

pickup.

, The optical pick-up may have failed.

Consult your nearest Sony dealer.

SECTION 1

SERVICE NOTES

This appliance is classified as a

CLASS 1 LASER product. The

CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT

MARKING is located on the

rear exterior.

Laser component in this product is capable

of emitting radiation exceeding the limit for

Class 1.

CAUTION

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures

other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radia-

tion exposure.

Notes on chip component replacement

· Never reuse a disconnected chip component.

· Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be

damaged by heat.

Flexible Circuit Board Repairing

· Keep the temperature of soldering iron around 270°C

during repairing.

· Do not touch the soldering iron on the same conductor of the

circuit board (within 3 times).

· Be careful not to apply force on the conductor when soldering

or unsoldering.

NOTES ON HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP

BLOCK OR BASE UNIT

The laser diode in the optical pick-up block may suffer electrostatic

break-down because of the potential difference generated by the

charged electrostatic load, etc. on clothing and the human body.

During repair, pay attention to electrostatic break-down and also

use the procedure in the printed matter which is included in the

repair parts.

The flexible board is easily damaged and should be handled with

care.

NOTES ON LASER DIODE EMISSION CHECK

Never look into the laser diode emission from right above when

checking it for adjustment. It is feared that you will lose your sight.

SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT WARNING!!

COMPONENTS IDENTIFIED BY MARK 0 OR DOTTED LINE WITH

MARK 0 ON THE SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMS AND IN THE PARTS

LIST ARE CRITICAL TO SAFE OPERATION. REPLACE THESE

COMPONENTS WITH SONY PARTS WHOSE PART NUMBERS

APPEAR AS SHOWN IN THIS MANUAL OR IN SUPPLEMENTS

PUBLISHED BY SONY.
