WARNING

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture. To avoid electrical shock, do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

The laser component in this product is capable of emitting radiation exceeding the limit for Class 1.

This appliance is classified as a CLASS 1 LASER product. The CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT MARKING is located on the rear exterior.

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 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.

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

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.

Getting Started

Welcome!

Thank you for purchasing the Sony Compact Disc Player. Before operating the unit, please read this manual thoroughly and retain it for future reference.

Getting Started

Unpacking

Check that you received the following items:

• Audio connecting cord (1)

• Remote commander (remote) (CDP-XE520 and

CDP-XE320 only) (1)

• Sony SUM-3 (NS) batteries (CDP-XE520 and CDP-XE320 only) (2)

Inserting batteries into the remote (CDP-XE520 and CDP-XE320 only)

You can control the player using the supplied remote. Insert two size AA (R6) batteries by matching the + and – on the batteries. When using the remote, point it at the remote sensor g on the player.

When to replace batteries

With normal use, the batteries should last for about six months. When the remote no longer operates the player, replace all the batteries with new ones.

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 lighting apparatuses. Doing so may cause a malfunction.

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

Getting Started

You can adjust the output level to the amplifier (CDP-XE520 and CDP-XE320 only)

Press LINE OUT LEVEL +/– on the remote. You can reduce the output level up to –20 dB. When you reduce the output level, “FADE” (or the CDP-XE320) appears in the display. When you turn off the player, the output level automatically returns to the maximum level.

FADE

• If you have a digital component such as a digital amplifier, D/A converter, DAT or MD

Connect the component via the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) connector using the optical cable (not supplied). Take off the cap and plug in the optical cable. Note that you cannot use the following functions when making this connection:

• Fading In or Out (see page 15)

• Time Fade (see page 16)

Where do I go next?

Now you’re ready to use your player. If you aren’t familiar with how to play CDs, go to the section “Playing a CD” on page 6. Then, go to the following sections for other operations.

Note

When you connect via the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) connector, noise may occur when you play CD software other than music, such as a CD-ROM.

If you have a Sony component with the CONTROL A1 jack (CDP-XE520 only)

Connect the component via the CONTROL A1 jack. You can simplify the operation of audio systems composed of separate Sony components. For details, refer to the supplementary “S-LinkTM/CONTROL-A1 Control System” instructions.

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.

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.

• 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 centre out.

“PEAK” disappears from the display.

Note

The portion with the highest level may differ every time you try the adjustment on the same disc. The difference is, however, so slight that you won’t find any problem in adjusting the recording level precisely.

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