Precautions

Notes on discs

• If your car has been pa rked in direct sunlig ht , allow the unit to cool off before operating it.

• Power antennas will extend automatically while the unit is operating.

If you have any quest ions or proble m s concerning your unit that are not covered in this manual, please co nsult your nearest Sony dealer.

Moisture condensation

On a rainy day or in a very damp area, moisture condensation ma y occur inside the lense s 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 ed ge.

• Keep your discs in thei r cases or disc magazines when not in use. Do not subject the discs to heat/hig h temperature. Avoid le a ving th em in park ed cars or on dashboards/rear trays.

• Do not attach labels , or us e discs with sticky ink/residue. Such discs may stop spinning when used, caus in g a m alfunction, or may rui n the disc.

• Do not use discs wit h any l abels 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 skippin g, or n o pl ayback) due to heat shrinking of a sticker or label causing a disc to warp.

• Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square, star) c annot be played on this unit. Attempting to do so may damage the unit. Do not use such discs.

• You cannot play 8 cm CDs.

• Before playing, cl ean the discs with a commercially available cleaning cloth. Wipe each disc from the centre out. Do not use solvents such as ben zine, thinner , co mmercially available cleaners, or antistatic spray intended for analog discs.

Notes on CD-R/CD-RW discs

• You can play CD-Rs (recordable CDs)/CDRWs (rewritabl e C Ds ) designed for audi o use on this unit. Look for these marks to di st i nguish CD-Rs/ CD-RWs for audio use.

These marks denote that a disc is not for audio use.
