Sony MDS-JA555ES Mode D'emploi page 3

On operation
If the deck is brought directly from a
cold to a warm location, or is placed in a
very damp room, moisture may
condense on the lenses inside the deck.
Should this occur, the deck may not
operate properly. In this case, remove
the MD and leave the deck turned on
for about an hour until the moisture
evaporates.
On the M iniDisc cartridge
• Do not open the shutter to expose the
MD.
• Do not place the cartridge where it
will be subject to extremes of
sunlight, temperature, moisture or
dust.
On cleaning
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls
with a soft cloth slightly moistened with
a mild detergent solution. Do not use
any type of abrasive pad, scouring
powder or solvent such as alcohol or
benzine.
If you have any questions or problems
concerning your deck, please consult
your nearest Sony dealer.
Welcome!
Thank you for purchasing the Sony
MiniDisc Deck. Before operating the
deck, please read this manual
thoroughly and retain it for future
reference.
