Precautions
On safety
• Operate the player only on 120 V AC, 60 Hz,
• Should any solid or liquid object enter the cabinet, unplug
the player and have it checked by qualified personnel
before operating it any further.
• Unplug the player from the wall outlet if it is not to be
used for an extended period of time.
To disconnect a cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull
the cord itself.
• Do not disassemble the cabinet. The laser beam used in
this player is harmful to the eyes when uncovered. Refer
servicing to qualified personnel only.
On operation
• When turning off the power, wait until “NO DISC”
message appears after a disc has been removed and the
tray has been closed. Especially, this must be practiced
when the player is to be transported.
• Remove the disc from the tray after playing it, if the
player will not be used for any length of time. Do not
transport the player with a disc in place.
• When the disc tray is in the open position, do not press
down on it strongly, or place heavy objects on it.
• Do not turn up the volume while listening to a portion with
very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you do, the
speakers may be damaged when a peak level portion is
played.
On disc tray
• If the disc tray does not close properly and slides out
again, reinsert the disc.
• Be careful not to pinch your fingers between the tray and
the player.
• Always keep the tray closed when not using the player to
keep dust or dirt from entering the optical system of the
player.

• Make sure the disc is placed properly in the tray.
Incorrect positioning may result in permanent damage to
the disc.
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 player. 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.
Notes on handling discs
• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its edge. Do
not touch the surface.
■ Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.
• Do not expose the disc to direct sulight or heat sources
such as hot air ducts, or leave it in a car parked in direct
sunlight as there can be a considerable rise in the
temperature.
• After playing, store the disc in its case.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your
player, please contact your nearest Sony dealer.
