Installation

Notes on Installation

Place the unit in a location with adequate air circulation

to prevent internal heat build-up in the unit.

This way.

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 shock.

Do not move the unit while the disc magazine is inside,

otherwise the discs may fall out of the magazine and you will be unable to remove them.

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

that would block the ventilation holes on the bottom.

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.

Precautions

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.

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.

Connections

For Correct Connections

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).

*Notes on LINE OUT

FIXED; The output level is fixed. VARIABLE: The output level can be adjusted with PHONE

LEVEL/LINE OUT LEVEL control or LINE OUT LEVEL buttons on the remote commander. However, if the PHONE

LEVEL/LINE OUT LEVEL control is turned while recording, the recording level will change even when it is preset on the tape deck.

Note on optical digital out

Connect the optical out to the amplifier with the optical input or D/A converter. When you connect, use the connecting cable for optical out POC-15 (not supplied). When the optical out is connected, you cannot use fade out, fade in and time fade function.
