Storing Information About CDsStoring(CustomInformationFiles) About CDs (Custom Files)

What You Can Do With the

Custom Files

The player can store three types of information called “Custom Files” for each disc. Once you have stored Custom Files for a disc, the player automatically recalls what you have stored whenever you select the disc. Note that Custom Files will be erased if you do not use the player for about one month.

You can store this information:

When you use	You can
Disc Memo (page 17)	Label discs using up to 13
	characters
Delete Bank (page 19)	Delete unwanted tracks and store
	only the tracks you want
Group File (page 20)	Group discs up to eight groups to
	locate them easily

Where are Custom Files stored?

Custom Files are stored not on the disc, but in the player’s memory. It means you cannot use Custom Files when you play the disc on other players.

If you replace discs you have filed in the Custom Files

The Custom File information you have stored remains, since each Custom File information is assigned to each slot. Erase all Custom Files (Disc Memo, Delete Bank and Group File) of the old disc, and then file the new disc information in the Custom Files.

Erasing all Custom Files of all discs

Turn off the player. While holding down CLEAR, press POWER to turn on the player. “ALL ERASE” appears in the display, and all Custom Files will be erased.

Labeling Discs (Disc Memo)

You can label discs using up to 13 characters and have the player display the Disc Memo each time you select the disc. The Disc Memo can be anything you like, such as a title, musician’s name, category or date of purchase.

When you select a CD-TEXT disc

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, 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.

On transportation

•When transporting the player, press OPEN then remove all the discs from the player and turn the power off.

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

Notes on CDs

On handling CDs

•To keep the disc clean, handle the disc carefully.

•Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.

Not this way

•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.

•After removing a disc from the disc slot, 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.
