•Be careful if your car is equipped with an
electric current detector-type car-alarm
system: when Timer-off recording or REC
Continue mode ends, the alarm may
mistakenly go off, detecting a change in the
car's electrical current.
•When an optional TV/video unit is
connected, the monitor stays on during
Timer-off recording or REC Continue mode.
Turn the monitor off before leaving the car to
reduce the likelihood of battery drain or
theft.
If you have any questions or problems
concerning your unit that are not covered in
this manual, please consult your nearest Sony
dealer.
Notes on recording
If you are going to make a recording that
cannot be done over, it is recommended to
make a test recording before actual recording.
IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER BE LIABLE
FOR ANY DIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE OF ANY
NATURE, OR LOSSES OR EXPENSES
RESULTING FROM ANY DEFECTIVE
PRODUCT OR THE USE OF ANY
PRODUCT.
Moisture condensation
On a rainy day or in a very damp area,
moisture may condense on the lenses inside
the unit. Should this occur, the unit will not
operate properly. In such a case, remove the
disc and wait for about an hour until the
moisture has evaporated.
To maintain high sound quality
If you have drink holders near your audio
equipment, be careful not to splash juice or
other soft drinks onto the unit and MD. Sugary
residues on the unit or MD may contaminate
the lenses inside the unit, reduce the sound
quality, or prevent sound reproduction
altogether.
Notes on MDs
Since the disc itself is housed in a cartridge,
free from accidental contact with your fingers
and dust, MDs can withstand a certain degree
of rough handling. However, dirt or dust on
the surface of the cartridge or a warped
cartridge may cause a malfunction. Observe
the following for best results.
Never touch the surface of the disc itself by
deliberately opening the shutter on the
cartridge.
When you eject the MD, the shutter may be
open. In such a case, close the shutter
immediately.
Do not expose the MD to direct sunlight or
heat sources such as hot-air ducts. Do not leave
it in a car parked in direct sunlight where there
can be a considerable rise in temperature.
Make sure the MD is not left on the dashboard
or rear tray of a car, etc. where the temperature
can also be excessive.
