Playing Alternately (No-Delay Play/X-Fade Play)

3 Press · to start playing.

The MEGA CONTROL button lights up while the track in the second player is selected.

When you connect the second player, you can play tracks in this player and those in the second player alternately in any play mode (see “Connecting Another CD Player” on pages 6 and 7). Select one of the following methods:

• No-Delay Play: The current player changes at each

track. Each time the current player changes to the other player, the other player starts play without a break in sound immediately after the current player ends play. The other player skips the lead-in portion and starts playing from where the sound actually begins.

• X-Fade Play: The current player changes at each

track or at the specified interval. You can select the interval among 30, 60 and 90 seconds. Each time the current player changes to the other player, the sound from both players is mixed. The current player ends play by fading out, and the other player starts play by fading in.

To check the X-Fade mode status

Press X-FADE once. The X-Fade mode status appears momentarily.

To cancel No-Delay/X-Fade Play

Press the corresponding button repeatedly until the button goes off. The current player continues playing.

You can change the method (No-Delay or X-Fade) during play

Press the corresponding button (NO DELAY or X-FADE) following the procedure in Step 2.

You can start X-Fade whenever you like

Press FADER during X-Fade Play. Even after you have set the X-Fade mode and started XFade Play, you can start X-Fade manually at the point you like. Note that you cannot do this operation while the sound from both players is mixed.

Notes

• The play starts from the second player if you start play while the MEGA CONTROL button is lit.

• When one player has played all the discs/tracks in the player ahead of the other player, the play stops.

• Do not use the controls on the second player during No-Delay/X-Fade Play. They may not work correctly.

Precautions

On safety

• Caution — The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazard.

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the player and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

On power sources

• Before operating the player, check that the operating voltage of the player is identical with your local power supply. The operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate at the rear of the player.

• The player is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the player itself has been turned off.

• If you are not going to use the player for a long time, be sure to disconnect the player from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead), grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.

• AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service shop.

On placement

• Place the player in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the player.

• Do not place the player on a soft surface such as a rug that might block the ventilation holes on the bottom.

• Do not place the player in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical shock.

On operation

• 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 lenses inside the player. Should this occur, the player may not operate properly. In this case, remove the disc and leave the player turned on for about an hour until the moisture evaporates.

On adjusting volume

• Do not turn up the volume while listening to a portion with very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you do, the speakers may be damaged when a peak level portion is played.

On cleaning

• Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.

Notes on CDs

On handling CDs

• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch the surface.

• Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.

• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight as there can be considerable rise in temperature inside the car.

• Do not use any commercially available stabilizer. If you do, the disc and the player may be damaged.

• After playing, store the disc in its case.

On cleaning

• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out.

• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.

If you have any questions or problems concerning your player, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
