Welcome!
Thank you for purchasing the Sony Compact
Disc Player. This unit lets you enjoy a variety
of features by using either a supplied rotary
commander or a wireless remote.
In addition to the CD playback and radio
operations, you can expand your system by
connecting an optional CD/MD unit*'.
When you operate this unit or connected
optioiral CD unit with the CD TEXT function,
the CD TEXT information will appear in the
display when you play back a CD TEXT disc*^
*' You can connect to a CD changer and an MD
changer.
A CD TEXT disc is an audio CD that inciudes
information such as the disc name, artist name,
and track names.
This information is recorded on the disc.
You can select for the display language and
vocalized comments of the voice guide in
either English or French.
Voice Drive
Sony has developed a new function which
contributes to safer driving.
In addition to our unique rotary commander,
we now introduce a voice sensitive operating
system Voice Drive which gives the driver
voice control of the car audio.
Now, while keeping your eyes on the road,
you can command operations with Voice Drive
and confirm results with Voice Guide. ■
And you can also record your voice with the
voice memo function. It will take a note for
you when you see or think of something while
you are driving.
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 to the relevant button pushed.
These comments can be vocalized in either
English or French.
• 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 contipue for a
short time even after the vocalized comments
about the second MD are announced.

Notes
• Do not attempt to register while driving, as this
may create a traffic hazard.
• Be sure to reply after the unit's vocalized
instruction,
• When a beep sound is heard, the registration
failed. In this case, repeat the same process
starting from step 1.
• Do not use phrases of similar pronunciation such
as “Sony POPS 1 “ and “Sony POPS 2“, because
the unit may not be able to distinguish the
difference.
• After you hear the unit’s vocalized instruction,
reply within three seconds.
Tips
• When you register the phrases, pronounce them
clearly and loudly to make it easier for the unit
to recognize them.
• Registration should be made while the car is
parked with the engine running so that the unit
will recognize your voice more easily when you
are driving.
• Though the vocalized instructions are in English,
any language can be used for registration.
• The volume of the vocalized instructions can be
adjusted on the unit or by the rotary
commander.
'Please repeat.', pronounce the same
phrase one more time.
The unit records the vocal jjhrase in this step
in order to identify the registered phrase later.
When the unit answers "OK!", the registration
is completed.
