matching the number of the disc slot where you have
inserted the disc. You can put up to 300 CD booklets into
the holders.
Inserting batteries into the remote
You can control the player using the supplied remote.
Insert three size AA (LR6) batteries (supplied) by
matching the + and – ends on the batteries to the

Insert the negative (–) end first, then push in and down
until the positive (+) end clicks into position.
When using the remote, point it at the remote sensor
on the player.

When you connect via the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL)

other than music, such as a CD-ROM.
If you have a Sony component with the CONTROL A1

Connect the component via the CONTROL A1 jack.
You can simplify the operation of audio systems

to the supplementary “CONTROL A1 Control
System” instructions.
Understanding the 2 way remote system
This remote operates under a 2 way remote system.
With the 2 way remote system, the component
responds to signals sent from the remote by sending
additional signals (information about the status of the
component, text data, etc.) back to the remote. Thus,
operations are performed as a result of communication
between the remote and the component.
Component
When using a home entertainment system comprised
of several components compatible with the 2 way
remote system, please restrict 2 way remote system
operation to a single component. Normally, turn off the
2 way remote system on all components except the
receiver. If you would like to turn off the player’s 2
way remote system, see “Turning off a player‘s
response to remote signals” on page 6.
