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.
