On safety
• Check the unit’s operating voltage before operation.
It must be identical with that of your local power supply.
• 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.
For detailed safety precautions, see the leaflet
“IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS”.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your
unit, please contact you nearest Sony dealer.
Placing Your Unit

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.
