Precautions

Notes on discs

•If your car was parked in direct sunlight, allow the unit to cool off before operating it.
•Power aerials will extend automatically while the unit is operating.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your unit that are not covered in this manual, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
Moisture condensation
On a rainy day or in a very damp area, moisture condensation may occur inside the lenses and display of the unit. Should this occur, the unit will not operate properly. In such a case, remove the disc and wait for about an hour until the moisture has evaporated.
To maintain high sound quality
Be careful not to splash juice or other soft drinks onto the unit or discs.
•To keep the disc clean, do not touch the surface. Handle the disc by its edge.
•Keep your discs in their cases or disc magazines when not in use. Do not subject the discs to heat/high temperature. Avoid leaving them in parked cars or on dashboards/rear trays.
•Do not attach labels, or use discs with sticky ink/residue. Such discs may stop spinning when used, causing a malfunction, or may ruin the disc.
•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.,
playback skipping, or no playback) due to heat shrinking of a sticker or label causing a disc to warp.
•Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square, star) cannot be played on this unit. Attempting to do so may damage the unit. Do not use such discs.
•You cannot play 8 cm CDs.
6
•Before playing, clean the discs with a commercially available cleaning cloth. Wipe each disc from the centre out. Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or antistatic spray intended for analog discs.
Notes on CD-R/CD-RW discs
•You can play CD-Rs (recordable CDs)/CD­RWs (rewritable CDs) designed for audio use on this unit. Look for these marks to distinguish CD-Rs/ CD-RWs for audio use.
