Self-Diagnosis Function
The deck has a self-diagnosis display. This functionshows a three- or five-digit display (a combination of a letter and
figures) and the corresponding message, so you can check the deck's condition.
If such a display appears, check the following table in order to resolve the problem.
Should any problem persist, consult your nearest Sony dealer.
Three-digit display/Message
Cause/Remedy
C11/Protected
The inserted MD is record-protected.
,
Take out the MD, and close the record-protect tab.
C13/Rec Error
The recording was not made properly.
,
Set the deck in a stable place, and repeat the recording procedure.
The inserted MD is dirty(with smudges, fingerprints,etc.), scratched, or not up to
standards.
,
Replace the disc, and repeat the recording procedure.
C14/Toc Error
The deck could not read the TOC of the MD properly.
,
Insert another disc.
,
If possible, erase all tracks on the MD using the AllErase Function.
While recording from a digital component connected through the DIGITAL
OPTICAL IN connector, the digital connecting cable was unpluggedor the digital
component turned off.
,

SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the follow-
ing safety check before releasing the set to the customer:
Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, "metallized" knobs,
screws, and all other exposed metal parts for AC leakage.
Check leakage as described below.
LEAKAGE TEST
The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth ground and
from all exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part having a
return to chassis, must not exceed 0.5 mA (500 microamperes.).
Leakage current can be measured by any one of three methods.
1. A commercial leakage tester, such as the Simpson 229 or RCA
WT-540A. Follow the manufacturers' instructions to use these
instruments.
2. A battery-operated AC milliammeter. The Data Precision 245
digital multimeter is suitable for this job.
3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor by means of a
VOM or battery-operated AC voltmeter. The "limit" indica-
tion is 0.75 V, so analog meters must have an accurate low-
voltage scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63Trd are ex-
amples of a passive VOM that is suitable. Nearly all battery
operated digital multimeters that have a 2 V AC range are
suitable. (See Fig. A)
