Differences between the CDP-C9ESD and the CDP-C900

This instruction manual covers the CDP-C9ESD and the CDP-C900. Their operation is identical. They differ only in the internal circuit specifications and the type of the HEADPHONES jack. A gold-plated jack is used for the CDP-C9ESD, while a standard jack is used for that of the CDP-C900.

On Safety

• Operate the unit only on 120 V AC, 60 Hz.

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operafing it again.

• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it will not be used for a long fime. 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 fo the eyes, do not attempt to disassemble the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

On operation

When fhe unif 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, fhe speakers may be damaged when a peak level portion is played.

For detailed safety precautions, see the leaflet “IMPORTANT

SAFEGUARDS”.

If you have any quesfions or problems concerning your unit, please contact your nearest Sony dealer.

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 or 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.

Installing Batteries

Install the batteries In the supplied remote commander

for remote control operation.

Do not place the unit on a soft surface, such as a rug that would block the ventilation holes on the bottom.

Not this way.

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.

Do not throw away the carton and the packing material

It will be an ideal container in which to transport.

To avoid damage caused by battery leakage and corrosion

When the commander will not be used for a long time, remove the batteries.

On battery life

About half a year of normal operation can be expected when using Sony SUM-3 (NS) batteries. When the batteries are low, the remote commander will not operate the unit. In this case, replace both batteries with new ones.

Connection

Notes on Connection

• Turn off the amplifier before making connections.

• Be sure to insert the plugs firmly into the jacks. Loose connections may cause hum and noise.

■ Leave a little slack in the connecting cord to allow for inadvertent shock or vibration.

• Connect the red plug of the supplied connecting cord to the right-channel jack (R) of the amplifier and the white plug to the left-channel jack (L). Otherwise, the right and left channels will be reversed.
