Do not use any discs with labels or stickers attached. The following malfunctions may result from using such discs: — Inability to eject a disc (due to a label or

sticker peeling off and jamming the eject mechanism).

— Inability to read audio data correctly (e.g.,

On a rainy day or in a very damp area, moisture may condense on the lenses inside the CD player. Should this occur, the unit will not operate properly. In this case, remove the disc and wait for about an hour until the moisture evaporates.

Maintenance

Fuse replacement

When replacing the fuse, be sure to use one matching the amperage rating stated on the original fuse. If the fuse blows, check the power connection and replace the fuse. If the fuse blows again after replacement, there may be an internal malfunction. In such a case, consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Warning

Never use a fuse with an amperage rating exceeding the one supplied with the unit as this could damage the unit.

Installation

Precautions

•This unit is designed for negative ground 12 V DC operation only.

•Before making connections, disconnect the ground terminal of the car battery to avoid short circuits.

•Connect the yellow and red power input leads only after all other leads have been connected.

•Be sure to connect the red power input lead to the positive 12 V power terminal which is energized when the ignition key is in the accessory position.

•Run all ground wires to a common ground point.

•Connect the yellow cord to a free car circuit rated higher than the unit’s fuse rating. If you connect this unit in series with other stereo components, the car circuit they are connected to must be rated higher than the sum of the individual component’s fuse rating. If there are no car circuits rated as high as the unit’s fuse rating, connect the unit directly to the battery. If no car circuits are available for connecting this unit, connect the unit to a car circuit rated higher than the unit’s fuse rating in such a way that if the unit blows its fuse, no other circuits will be cut off.

•The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazard.
