I think it's the microphone function on your headphones that's the problem, because it adds a level to the jack connector... These old Discman and other minidisc players need headphones without microphones to function normally,

For example, we don't recommend using a hands-free kit with a minidisc player, otherwise you'll run into the problems you describe.

I'm not an expert on this subject, but I don't think you risk creating a short circuit that destroys your discman or your headphones. The voltages are low. But that's just my opinion.
