• Dust on the lens may prevent the unit from operating properly. Be sure to close the disc compartment lid after inserting or ejecting a disc. • To obtain the best sound quality, use a dry cloth to wipe the plugs of the headphones/ earphones or the remote control. Dirty plugs may cause sound distortion or intermittent breaks in the sound. On battery Incorrect battery usage may lead to leakage of battery fluid or bursting battery. To prevent such accidents, observe the following precautions: • Install the + and - poles of the battery correctly. • When the recorder is not to be used for a long time, be sure to remove the battery. • If a battery leak should develop, carefully and thoroughly wipe away battery fluid from the battery compartment before inserting new ones. On mechanical noise The recorder gives off mechanical noise while operating, which is caused by the power-saving system of the recorder and it is not a problem. To protect a recorded disc To record-protect a disc, slide open the tab at the side of the disc. In this position, the disc cannot be recorded. To record again, slide the tab back so the tab is visible. Tab On maintenance Clean the terminals periodically with a cotton swab or a soft cloth. If you have any questions or problems concerning your recorder, please consult your nearest Sony dealer. (If a trouble occurred when the disc was in the recorder, we recommend that the disc be left in the recorder when you consult your Sony dealer so that the cause of trouble may be better understood.) Back of the disc Recorded material is protected. Recorded material is not protected. 82
