WARNING

This symbol is intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage”
within the product’s enclosure that may be of
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of
electric shock to persons.

This symbol is intended to alert the user to the
presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the appliance.

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not
expose the unit to rain or moisture.

To prevent fire, do not cover the
ventilation of the apparatus with
newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc.
And don’t place lighted candles on the
apparatus.

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not
place objects filled with liquids, such as
vases, on the apparatus.

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

To avoid electrical shock, do not open the
cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified
personnel only.

CAUTION

To prevent electric shock, match wide blade of plug to wide
slot, fully inserted.

Important Safety Instructions

• Read these instructions.

• Keep these instructions.

• Heed all warnings.

• Follow all instructions.

• Do not use this apparatus near water.

• Clean only with dry cloth.

• Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in

accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators,
heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.

• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or
grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with
one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two
blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the
third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided
plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.

• Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched
particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the apparatus.

• Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.

• Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with
the apparatus. When a cart is used, use
caution when moving the cart/apparatus
combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

• Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when
unused for long periods of time.

• Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing
is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any
way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid
has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus,
the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does
not operate normally, or has been dropped.

Overview

Overview

The CDP-D12 is a compact-size CD player with a
variety of playback functions that are useful for audio­visual presentations or sound effects in theaters, etc.

The features of the CDP-D12 are as follows:

Compact design

The CDP-D12 has a height of 1U, allowing it to be
mounted in a standard EIA 19-inch rack.

Flexible output interfaces

Two types of analog audio connectors (balanced XLR­type connectors and unbalanced phono connectors) are
provided, as well as coaxial and optical digital outputs.

Various remote control configurations

Remote control functions are provided via RS-232C,
parallel, and CTRL-S connectors. The supplied
remote control unit can be used as both a wired remote
and wireless IR remote.

Auto Pause and Auto Cue functions

The Auto Pause function pauses playback after each
track, while the Auto Cue function locates the point
where the audio content begins and pauses at that
point.

RELAY IN/OUT connectors

Sequential playback is possible over multiple CDP­D12 units linked by the RELAY IN/OUT connectors.

CD-R/RW

The CDP-D12 can play CD-R and CD-RW discs, as
well as commercially sold CDs.

Variable-speed playback

The ability to vary the playback speed within a range
of ±12.5% in 0.5% intervals makes it easy to adjust the
playing time.

Mark & Locate function

Through simple operations, any point on the CD can
be marked and then located.

Precautions

Notes on use

•The CDP-D12 must be used within a temperature
range of 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).

•Installing the CDP-D12 in a hot place or in a place
exposed to direct sunlight may cause it to
malfunction or the color finish to fade. Do not place
the CDP-D12 near a heat source such as lighting
equipment or a power amplifier.

•After using the CDP-D12 in a place that is moist,
dusty place, or exposed to activated gas, clean the
surface and the connectors as soon as possible. If you
do not, or if the CDP-D12 is kept in such a place, the
service life of the player may be shortened.

•Clean the surface and the connectors of the CDP-D12
with a dry, soft cloth. Never use thinner, benzene,
alcohol or any other chemicals, since these may mar
the finish.

Installation

Do not place the CDP-D12 in the following places:

•On an unstable place or uneven surface

•On a carpet or mattress

•Humid or poorly ventilated places

•Dusty places

•Under direct sunlight or where the temperature is

high

•Where the temperature is very low

•Near a tuner, TV set, or video deck

(When using the CDP-D12 with the above
equipment, the close proximity of the CDP-D12 may
cause noise or distortion in audio or visual signals,
especially in the case of equipment that use an
interior antenna. In this case, it is recommended that
an outdoor antenna be used instead.)

On condensation in the player

If the player is brought directly from a cold place to a
warm location, or is placed in a very damp room,
moisture may condense inside the player.

Moisture may condense inside the player when the
temperature suddenly rises, such as when a heater is
turned on. In this event, the player may not operate
properly, and damage may even occur to the CD or
player mechanism. If there is condensation, remove the
CD and leave the player turned on for about an hour
until the moisture evaporates. If the player does not
operate normally even after a few hours, consult Sony
service personnel.

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 benzene.

On carrying the player

Always remove the CD before transporting the player.

After inserting the CD

A beep or mechanical noise may be heard. This is
caused by the automatic adjustment of the
servomechanism inside the player. A noise may also
be heard if the inserted CD is warped, due to an
automatic adjustment function.

Note on adjusting the volume

Compact discs contain less noise than normal records.
If you adjust the volume as you listen to the sound
between tracks, as you might do with normal records,
an unexpectedly high volume may be output,
damaging the speakers. Be sure to turn down the
volume before the start of playback.

Precautions

Handling CDs

Handling

•When holding the CD, do not touch the recorded side
(the side without the label).

•Do not attach any paper or seals onto the CD.

•The CDP-D12 can play round CDs only. Playing

irregularly shaped CDs such as star-shaped or heart­shaped CDs may damage the player.

•Do not use CDs on which labels or stickers have been
attached, for example by second-hand CD or CD
rental shops.

•If the CD is extremely dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth
lightly moistened with water, and then finish with a
dry cloth.

•Do not use solvents such as benzene, record cleaner,
or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.

Notes on CD-R/CD-RW playback

Discs recorded on a CD-R/CD-RW drive may not play
back due to scratches, dirt, recording conditions, or
properties of the drive. In addition, discs for which the
recording process was not finalized cannot be played
back.

Preservation

•Do not leave CDs in a place subject to high
temperature or high humidity, especially places
exposed to direct sunlight.

•Store CDs in their case. CDs that are piled or stacked
without cases may become deformed.

Cleaning

•Fingerprints or dust will affect the quality of the
sound. Keep CDs clean.

•When cleaning a CD, wipe it with a soft cloth from
the center outward.
