PICKING UP THE UNIT FOR SHOP REPAIR

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.

The white transit key on the bottom exterior of
the unit protects the optical system against
shock during transportation. Before operating

the CD player, be sure to remove the key by
following the instructions on the label, and
store it in a safe place.

which allow you to choose from a large number and wide
