Self-diagnosis function

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.
