Installing the CD Player ■ Maintenance
Notes on Installation
Place the unit in a iocation with adequate air circuiation
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.
- near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts.
- in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust,
mechanical vibration or shock.
Use on level surface. Make sure that the unit is placed
in a proper location before switching the power on.
Do not transport the unit with the discs inserted.
If you remove the side panels to install the unit in a
rack, be sure to secure the metal casing with the
supplied screws (M3x8 mm in length). DO NOT use the
longer screws that held the side panels in place.
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.
Cleaning the cabinet
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth
lightly moistened with mild detergent solution. Do not use
any type of abrasive pad scouring powder or solvent such
as alcohol or benzine.
Cleaning discs
Before playing, clean the disc with the cleaning cloth.
Wipe the disc from the center out.
Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,
commercially availeible cleaners or anti-static spray
intended for analog discs.
Precautions
On Safety
• Check the unit’s operating voltage before operation. It
must be identical with that of your local power supply.
The operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate at
the rear of the unit.
• 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 ¿md to extend the useful life of your unit
After playing, store the disc in its case.
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 you nearest Sony dealer.

Locating the loudest portion of the disc - Peak Search U
The CD player can search a disc from the beginning to the
end and determine the loudest portion (peak level) of the
disc, and then play that portion repeatedly. This function
will make it easier for you to adjust to the optimum level
when recording on tape.
This function operates in all play modes as follows:
Play mode
Continuous and
shuffle modes
Program mode
Bank mode
Unless you are using the program mode, the unit will scan
all discs that are clamped, even in the ALL DISCS mode.

The unit determines the loudest portion (peak leveO of a disc
by searching it at fixed intervals. As a result, the portion
searched may differ from the actual peak level. In addition, this
function may determine different portions as the peak level for
the same disc. However, the difference between the portion
searched and the actual peak level is insignificant and will not
present any problem In adjusting the recording level.

Enhanced Surround Effects
- Digital Signal Processor
The Digital Signal Processor (DSP) lets you listen to
selections according to various acoustic atmospheres.
These atmospheres are produced by a digital processing
technique that involves simulating reflected and
reverberated sound effects and digitally compensated
frequency response. DSP modes can be stored in the
memory of the player as a custom file.
You can choose from the following processing mode.

Memorizing a DSP Mode
The DSP modes, as well as the Equalizer and Reverb
settings, can be stored in memory to correspond with a
certain disc. By making a DSP file, you can insert or select
a disc and have it played to a pre-selected acoustic
atmosphere (See “On Custom Files” on page 22).

About Surround Sound
There are three basic sound effects that produce the
acoustics of concert halls and movie theater. Direct sound,
early reflection, and reverberation. The acoustic quality of
a room depends on how that room reproduces these three
sounds.
