Precautions
•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.
Notes on 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.
•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.
Getting Started
These marks denote that a disc is not for
audio use.
•Some CD-Rs/CD-RWs (depending on the
equipment used for its recording or the
condition of the disc) may not play on this
unit.
•You cannot play a CD-R/CD-RW that is not
finalized*.
* A process necessary for a recorded CD-R/CD-RW
disc to be played on the audio CD player.
Resetting the unit
Before operating the unit for the first time or
after replacing the car battery, you must reset
the unit.

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.
Cleaning the connectors

Sicherheitsmaßnahmen
•Wenn das Auto in direktem Sonnenlicht
geparkt war, warten Sie, bis sich das Gerät
abgekühlt hat, bevor Sie es wieder benutzen.
•Motorantennen werden beim Betrieb des
Geräts automatisch ausgefahren.
•Bringen Sie auf CDs keine Aufkleber an.
Verwenden Sie keine CDs mit Resten von
Kleber oder anderen klebrigen Rückständen.
Solche CDs können im Gerät hängenbleiben
und sich nicht weiterdrehen, was zu Schäden
am Gerät und der CD selbst führen kann.
Wenn Sie Fragen haben oder an Ihrem Gerät
Probleme auftauchen, die in dieser
Bedienungsanleitung nicht behandelt werden,
wenden Sie sich bitte an Ihren Sony-Händler.
Feuchtigkeitskondensation
Bei Regen oder bei sehr hoher Luftfeuchtigkeit
kann sich in den Linsen und im Display des
Geräts Feuchtigkeit niederschlagen. In diesem
Fall funktioniert das Gerät nicht mehr richtig.
Nehmen Sie die CD heraus, und warten Sie
etwa eine Stunde, bis die Feuchtigkeit
verdunstet ist.
So bewahren Sie die hohe
Tonqualität
Achten Sie darauf, daß keine Säfte oder
anderen zuckerhaltigen Getränke auf das
Gerät oder die CDs spritzen.
Hinweise zu CDs
•Berühren Sie nicht die Oberfläche, damit die
CD nicht verschmutzt. Fassen Sie die CD nur
am Rand an.
•Bewahren Sie CDs in ihrer Hülle oder in den
CD-Magazinen auf, wenn sie nicht abgespielt
werden. Schützen Sie die CDs vor Hitze und
hohen Temperaturen. Lassen Sie sie nicht in
einem geparkten Auto, auf dem
Armaturenbrett oder der Hutablage liegen.
•Verwenden Sie keine CDs, an denen
Etiketten oder Aufkleber angebracht sind.
Bei Verwendung solcher CDs kann es zu
folgenden Fehlfunktionen kommen:
— Die CD läßt sich nicht auswerfen, weil sich
ein Etikett oder Aufkleber gelöst hat und
den Auswurfmechanismus blockiert.
— Die Audiodaten werden nicht korrekt
gelesen (z. B. Tonsprünge bei der
Wiedergabe, keine Wiedergabe), weil ein
Etikett oder Aufkleber durch
Wärmeeinwirkung geschrumpft ist und
die CD sich verzogen hat.
•CDs mit außergewöhnlichen Formen (z. B.
herzförmige, quadratische oder sternförmige
CDs) können mit diesem Gerät nicht
wiedergegeben werden. Falls Sie es doch
versuchen, kann das Gerät beschädigt
werden. Verwenden Sie solche CDs nicht.
•Single-CDs (8-cm-CDs) können nicht
wiedergegeben werden.
•Reinigen Sie die CDs vor dem Abspielen mit
einem handelsüblichen Reinigungstuch.
Wischen Sie dabei von der Mitte nach außen.
Lösungsmittel wie Benzin, Verdünner oder
handelsübliche, für Schallplatten bestimmte
Reiniger und Antistatiksprays dürfen nicht
verwendet werden.
Fortsetzung siehe nächste Seite t

Hinweise zu CD-Rs/CD-RWs
•Mit diesem Gerät können Sie CD-Rs
(beschreibbare CDs)/CD-RWs
(wiederbeschreibbare CDs), die als AudioCDs konzipiert sind, wiedergeben lassen.
An dieser Markierung können Sie CD-Rs/
CD-RWs, die als Audio-CDs konzipiert sind,
erkennen.
Diese Markierungen kennzeichnen
Datenträger, die nicht für die
Audiowiedergabe geeignet sind.
•Je nach dem Gerät, mit dem die CD-R/CDRW bespielt wurde, oder dem Zustand der
CD-R/CD-RW selbst ist eine Wiedergabe mit
diesem Gerät jedoch nicht in jedem Fall
möglich.
•Eine noch nicht abgeschlossene CD-R/CDRW kann nicht wiedergegeben werden*.
* Dieser Vorgang ist notwendig, damit eine
bespielte CD-R/CD-RW auf einem Audio-CDPlayer abgespielt werden kann.
Vorbereitungen
Zurücksetzen des Geräts
Bevor Sie das Gerät zum ersten Mal benutzen
oder nachdem Sie die Autobatterie
ausgetauscht haben, müssen Sie das Gerät
zurücksetzen.
Nehmen Sie die Frontplatte ab, und drücken
