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.
C11/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
,
Set the deck in a stable surface, and repeat the
recording procedure.

procedure.
