Sony MDS-E58 User Manual

If the recorder 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
recorder.  Should this occur, the
recorder may not operate properly.  In
this case, remove the MD and leave the
recorder turned on for about an hour
until the moisture evaporates.

• 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.

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 recorder, please
consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Thank you for purchasing the Sony
MiniDisc Recorder.  Before operating
the recorder, please read this manual
thoroughly and retain it for future
reference.
