Unpacking

Check that you received the following items:

• Audio cord (1)

• CD booklet holders (2) and label (1)

• AC adapter (1)

• Monaural (2P) mini-plug cord (connecting cord for the transmitter/receiver) (1)

• Remote commander (remote) (1)

• Sony LR6 batteries (3)

How to use the CD booklet holder

The CD booklet holder helps you locate discs easily. After you have inserted discs into the player, you can put the CD booklet (which comes with a CD) into the supplied holder. Put two CD booklets facing back to back into a pocket. Stick the number label on each pocket, matching the number of the disc slot where you have inserted the disc. You can put up to 200 CD booklets into the holders.

Notes

• Do not leave the remote near an extremely hot or humid place.

• Do not drop any foreign object into the remote casing, particularly when replacing the batteries.

• Do not expose the remote sensor to direct sunlight or leave too near lighting apparatuses. Doing so may cause a malfunction.

• If you do not use the remote for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to avoid possible damage from battery leakage and corrosion.

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 diagram inside the battery compartment. 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 g on the player.

When to replace batteries

If i flashes in the remote’s display, replace all the batteries with new alkaline batteries. Use of battery types other than alkaline batteries, such as manganese batteries, may not last longer than the alkaline batteries. The loaded memory in the remote will be retained for a few minutes while you replace the batteries.
