hang the system on the wall may result in
accidents.
4Connect the speaker cords to the SPEAKER
jacks.
• The component system CMT-L7HD (7.9 kg) and
the wall hanging bracket (0.6 kg) have a
combined weight of 8.5 kg. Therefore, for safety
reasons, the bracket should be attached securely
to a wall made from materials capable of
supporting a load of 50 kg or more.
• When you hang the system on the wall, make
sure the left and right speakers are both attached
or both detached. Attaching one speaker without

HD - Recording
Guide to the Serial Copy
Management System
Notes on recording
Digital audio components, such as CDs, MDs, HDs
and DATs let you copy music easily with high quality
by processing music as a digital signal.
To protect the copyrighted music programs, this
system uses the Serial Copy Management System that
allows you to make only a single copy of a digitally
recorded source through digital-to-digital
connections.
Before recording
• You cannot select a playlist as the recording
destination.
• You cannot record over an existing track. If
you select an album with existing tracks as
the recording destination, the system
automatically starts recording from the end of
the existing tracks.
You can make only a first generation copy*
through a digital-to-digital connection.
That is:
1 You can make a copy of a commercially
available digital sound program (for example,
a CD or MD), but you cannot make a second
copy from the first-generation copy.
After recording
The HD play mode automatically switches to
Normal Play.
2 You can make a copy of a digital signal from a
digitally recorded analog sound program (for
example, an analog record or a music
cassette tape) or from a digital satellite
broadcast program, but you cannot make a
second copy.
* A first-generation copy means a digital recording of
a digital signal made on digital audio equipment.
For example, if you record from this system’s CD
player to the HD recorder, you make a first-
generation copy.
Automatic conversion of digital
sampling rates
A built-in sampling rate converter
automatically converts the sampling frequency
of various digital sources to the 44.1 kHz
sampling rate of the system. This allows you to
monitor and record sources such as 32- or
48-kHz DAT tape or satellite broadcasts, as
well as the CDs and HD.
Maximum number of recordable
tracks
Total number of the tracks recorded on the HD
cannot exceeds 20,000, not counting the tracks
in playlists.
If “Track Full!” appears in the display
when you select the recording
destination
The album already contains 400 tracks, the
maximum number of tracks that can be
recorded to a single album. Select another
album.
If “Drive Full!” appears in the display
while recording to the HD
Further recording is impossible because there is
not enough recordable space on the HD or the
maximum number of recordable tracks has
been attained on the HD. Erase any
unnecessary albums or tracks to continue
recording to the HD.

Tips
Recording a CD to the HD
• If you set “TextSave” in the setup menu to “On”,
CD text (track name only) is saved to the HD
automatically.
• While a CD track is being recorded, "STORAGE"
appears in the display.
— Auto Storage/High-Speed Synchro
Storage
When Auto Storage is selected as the storage
mode, CD tracks are automatically recorded to
the HD while being played back.
Notes
• More than one copy of the same track cannot exist
in the same album.
• An album cannot contain more than one CD.
• The system cannot record CD tracks when:
– The remaining time on the HD is less than 240
minutes.
– The remaining number of the tracks on the HD is
less than 131.
– There is no blank album in the Library area.
• If you erase an album from the Library area with
the Erase function or move an album from the
Library area to the Flexible area with the Move
function, the corresponding CD is restored to the
Library area when the CD is played back.
• While recording, if you press HD u (or HD N
on the remote), the recording stops and HD
playback starts.
Only tracks that are played back completely
and are not yet stored on the HD are recorded
in this mode. If the tracks are from a CD that
has never been played before, they are stored to
a blank album with the smallest album number
in the Library area. Otherwise, they are stored
in the album in the Library area containing
other tracks from the same CD. The tracks are
stored in the album in the order of the original
CD.
While “CD” is displayed, the display window
shows the track storage status of the current
CD.
• The recording stops when:
– The total number of tracks on the HD reaches
20,000.
– The total recording time of the HD reaches about
300 hours.
– The CD function is changed to another function.
• You cannot name an album or a track while
recording is in progress.
• Because Auto Storage and High-Speed Synchro
Storage are different from conventional recording
methods, the playing time of the tracks recorded on
the HD may differ from that of the CD tracks, and
the total playing time of the album in which the CD
is recorded may not be the same as that of the CD
itself.

Erasing recordings
Notes
— Erase Function
• If erasing a track causes an album or playlist to
become empty, the album or the playlist will be also
erased.
• If you erase a track that is registered to a playlist,
the track is erased from the playlist also.
Afterwards, the contents of the playlist cannot be
restored to the condition before the edit even if you
use the Undo function.
The HD lets you erase unwanted tracks quickly
and easily.
The two options for erasing recordings are:
• Erasing a single track (Track Erase)
• Erasing all tracks in an album (Album Erase)
• If you erase a track containing a registered
Highlight position (for Highlight Play), the first
track of the album that contained the erased track
becomes the registered track instead. After the
erasure of such a track, the Highlight Play
registration cannot be restored to the condition
before the edit, evin if you use the Undo function.
• You cannot erase a track in the Library area.
Erasing a single track
(Track Erase)
You can erase a track simply by selecting its
track number. When you erase a track, the

Additional Information
On the speaker system
Although this speaker system is magnetically
shielded, there may be cases where the picture on
some TV sets becomes magnetically distorted. In
such a case, turn off the power of the TV set, and
after 15 to 30 minutes turn it on again.
If there seems to be no improvement, locate
the speaker system further away from the TV set.
Also, be sure not to place objects in which magnets
are attached or used near the speaker system, such as
audio racks, TV stands, and toys. These may cause
magnetic distortion to the picture due to their
interaction with the system.
Precautions
The nameplate is located on the rear exterior.
On operating voltage
Before operating the system, check that the operating
voltage of your system is identical with the voltage of
your local power supply.
On safety
• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power
source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall
outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.
• Be sure to turn off the system before disconnecting
the power cord.
Notes on CDs
• Before playing a CD, clean the CD surface with a
cleaning cloth. Wipe the CD from the center out.
• Do not play a CD with tape, stickers, or adhesives
on any of its surfaces as this may damage the
system.
• Do not use solvents.
• Do not expose the CDs to direct sunlight or heat
sources.
• Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square,
star) cannot be played on this system. Attempting
to do so may damage the system. Do not use such
discs.
• Unplug the system from the wall outlet (mains) if it
will not be used for an extended period of time. To
disconnect the power cord (mains lead), pull it out
by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the
system, unplug the system and have it checked by
qualified personnel before operating it any further.
• AC power cord must be changed only at the
qualified service shop.
On placement
• Do not place the system in an inclined position.
• Do not place the system in locations where it is:
— Extremely hot or cold
— Dusty or dirty
— Very humid
Note on CD-R/CD-RW play
Discs recorded on CD-R/CD-RW drives may not be
played back because of scratches, dirt, recording
condition or the drive’s characteristics. Besides, the
discs, which are not yet finalized at the end of
recording, cannot be played back.
— Subject to vibrations
— Subject to direct sunlight
Cleaning the cabinet
On heat buildup
• Although the unit heats up during operation, this is
not a malfunction.
• To prevent heat build-up in the system, place the
system in a location with adequate ventilation and
refrain from placing anything on the top of the
cabinet.
If you continuously use this system at a large volume,
the cabinet temperature of the top, side and bottom
rises considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not
touch the cabinet.
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth
slightly moistened with mild detergent solution. Do
not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or
solvent such as thinner, benzene or alcohol.
Note on High-Speed Synchro
Storage
Certain CD conditions may cause sound dropout
or noise in the recording results, or even create
unwanted tracks on the HD. If this happens, clean
the CD as instructed on “Notes on CDs” on this
page, and record material to the HD using Auto
Storage only.
To prevent a malfunction, do not cover the ventilation
hole for the cooling fan.
On operation
If the system is brought directly from a cold place to a
warm place, or is placed in a very damp room,
moisture may condense on the lens inside the system.
Should this occur, the system will not operate
properly. Remove the CD and leave the system
turned on for about an hour until the moisture
evaporates.
If you have any questions or problems concerning
your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
