CDX-C880

 1998 by Sony Corporation

Welcome !

Thank you for purchasing this Sony Compact Disc Player. This unit lets you enjoy a variety of features by using either a supplied rotary commander or an optional wireless remote.

In addition to the CD playback and radio operations, you can expand your system by connecting an optional CD/MD unit*1. When you operate this unit or a connected a optional CD unit with the CD TEXT function, the CD TEXT information will appear in the display when you play back a CD TEXT disc*2.

*1You can also connect a CD changer and an MD

changer.

*2A CD TEXT disc is an audio CD that includes

information such as the disc name, artist name and track names. These information is recorded on the disc.

Voice guide for safe driving

This unit has a voice guide function*. When

the voice guide function is on, the unit gives vocalized comments on functions corresponding the buttons pushed.

* Some optional power amplifiers may cause a

break at the beginning of vocalized comments. When you connect an optional MD changer, the sound from the first MD may continue for a short time even after the vocalized comments about the second MD are announced.

BBE*

With BBE, you can obtain a sharp edged bass for a more natural and clear sound. When reproduced from CDs, MDs, or radio, treble tones have a slight tendency to delay compared with the bass which may result in unclear sound reproduction due to the masking effect of the bass. The BBE reproduces, as close as is possible, the original sound by adjusting the sound balance of the bass.

* The BBE is manufactured by Sony Corporation

under license from BBE Sound, Inc. It is covered by U.S. Patent No.4,638,258 and No.4,482,866. The word “BBE” and the BBE Symbol are the trademarks of BBE Sound, Inc.
