Cause/Remedy
c Make sure the dedicated USB cable is correctly connected
(page 8).
c If you are connecting both devices with a USB hub or a USB
extension cable, normal operation is not guaranteed. Please use
only the supplied dedicated USB cable.
c You cannot use this player anymore. Please contact your
nearest Sony dealer.
c The dedicated USB cable is not fully plugged in. Disconnect the
dedicated USB cable and re-connect it.
c A song cannot be checked-out more than three times. Check the
song back in from one of your other portable players so that
checking-out is enabled again.
c The available memory space in the Network Walkman may be
insufficient.
c If the song has a limited playing period or playing count, you
may not be able to check it out to the Network Walkman,
depending on the restrictions set by the copyright holders. For
details on the settings of each song, contact the service, or see
the OpenMG Web site.
c You may be trying to check-out 121 or more songs to the
Network Walkman. The maximum number of songs that can
be checked-out to the Network Walkman is 120.
c The free memory space of Network Walkman may be less than
the data of the song you want to check-out. Check-in
unnecessary songs to make more memory space.
c The songs can only be checked-in to the computer from which
they were checked-out.
c If a song is deleted from the computer, it cannot be checked-in.
c If you delete songs using another computer's OpenMG Jukebox
software, when you reconnect to your computer, the OpenMG
Jukebox software will register those songs as checked-in, and
the remaining available check-out count is restored.
c Clean the CD.
Cause/Remedy
c Sometimes, during normal conditions, the player becomes
slightly warm.
c Make sure the HOLD switch is OFF (page 14).
c You must change the battery (page 7).
