Difference between CDP-391 and CDP-291

This instruction manuai covers CDP-391 and CDP-291.

Their performance and operation are identicai except that the CDP-291 is not supplied with a remote commander and that, therefore, the CDP-291 does not have those functions activated only by the remote commander, which are indicated by a H mark in this instruction manual. However, if you have a remote commander for the Sony stereo system, you can activate the functions on that commander.

On safety

. Operate the unit only on 120 V AC, 60 FIz.

• Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

. Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it will not be used for

a long time. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by grasping the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

• As the laser beam used in this compact disc player is harmful to the eyes, do not attempt to disassemble the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

On operation

When the unit is not used, turn the power off, to conserve energy and to extend the useful life of your unit.

Important

Since the CD system boasts a wide dynamic range, the peaks of high level inputs are recorded with high fidelity,

and the noise level is very low.

Do not turn up the volume while listening to a portion with

no audio signals or very low level inputs if you do, the speakers may be damaged when a peak level portion is played.

For detailed safety precautions, see the leaflet “IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS”.

If you have any questions or problems concerning your unit, please contact your nearest Sony dealer.

Preparing the Remote

Installing the CD Player

Notes on Installation

• Place the unit in a location with adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat build up in the unit.

. Do not place the unit on a soft surface, such as a rug that

would block the ventilation holes on the bottom.

■ Do not install the unit:

Installing Batteries

On moisture condensation

If the player is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit. Should this occur, the player will not operate. In this case, remove the disc and leave the player turned on for about an hour until the moisture evaporates.

On battery life

• About half a year of normal operation can be expected when using the R6 (size AA) batteries.

• When the batteries are run down, the remote commander will not operate the unit. In this case, replace both batteries with new ones.

Notes on the remote commander and remote control

operation

• Keep the commander away from extremely hot or humid places.

• Avoid dropping any foreign objects into the commander

casing, particularly when replacing the batteries.

• Avoid exposing the remote sensor to direct sunlight or lighting apparatus. Such exposure can cause a

malfunction.

• To avoid damage caused by battery leakage and corrosion,

remove the batteries when the commander will not be used

for a long time.

Connecting the CD Player

Notes on Connection

• Turn off the power of each unit before making connections. > Connect the AC power cord last. > Be sure to insert the plugs firmly into the jacks. Loose connection may cause hum and noise. > Leave a little slack in the connecting cord to allow for inadvertent shock or vibration. > Cord plugs and jacks are color coded. Red plugs and jacks are for the right channel (R) and white ones for the left channel (L).
