Press the power switch on the front panel.
The POWER indicator lights green and the unit
starts.
Then four status indicators change as follows as the
unit is starting.
All the indicators light green for about half a
second.
They then repeatedly flash yellow form left to
right for about 3 seconds, indicating that the unit
is performing a self-diagnostic.
Finally, all the indicators go out. (If there is a
cartridge in the unit, the TAPE MOTION
indicator lights green or yellow.)
Caution

the cooling fan of the unit may be malfunctioning. If
this is the case, verify that the cooling fan on the rear
is operating normally. If it is not, contact your Sony
service center.
