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.
The following caution label is located
inside of the unit.
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,
remove the disc and 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.
If you have any questions or
problems concerning your player,
please consult your nearest Sony
dealer.
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.

Locating each track on a tape using the
AMS function (Auto Space)
The auto space function inserts a blank space of 3
seconds between each track while playing, and enables
you to locate each track using the AMS function of the
deck.
Before you start playing, press AUTO SPACE.
“AUTO SPACE” appears in the display.
To cancel Auto Space
Press AUTO SPACE until “AUTO SPACE” disappears from
the display.
Note
If you use the Auto Space function when recording, for
example, a medley or symphony, the sound may be
interrupted where the track number changes. It happens
when the track numbers are assigned in the middle of the
piece.
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,
commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray
intended for vinyl LPs.
