Bezpečnostní opatření
• Pokud bylo vaše auto zaparkováno na
přímém slunci, nechte přístroj před
použitím vychladnout.
• Anténa se po zapnutí přístroje vysune
automaticky.
Budete-li mít jakékoli otázky nebo vyskytnou-li se při použití přístroje problémy, které
nejsou popsány v této příručce, obra$te se na
nejbližší zastoupení společnosti Sony.
Kondenzace vlhkosti
Za deště nebo ve velmi vlhkém prostředí
může dojít ke kondenzaci par na čočkách
a na displeji přístroje. Pokud nastane tato
situace, nebude přístroj fungovat správně.
V tom případě vyjměte disk a počkejte
přibližně 1 hodinu, dokud přístroj nevyschne.
Zachování vysoké kvality zvuku
Dbejte na to, aby se přístroj nebo disky nedostaly do kontaktu s limonádou nebo s jinými
nápoji.

Poznámky týkající se
disků
• Chcete-li udržet povrch disků čistý, nedo-
týkejte se jej. Vždy držte disky pouze za
okraje.
• Disky, které právě nepoužíváte, uchovávej-
te v krabičkách nebo zásobnících na disky.
Nevystavujte disky vysokým teplotám.
Nenechávejte je v zaparkovaném autě na
palubní desce nebo pod zadním oknem.
• Na disky nelepte štítky a nepoužívejte disky
se zbytky lepidla nebo s nezaschlým inkoustem. Takové disky se mohou v přehrávači
zastavit nebo jej poškodit.
Poznámky týkající se disků CD-R/
CD-RW
• V tomto přístroji lze přehrávat disky CD-R
(nahrávatelné) určené pro záznam zvuku.
Disky CD-R určené pro záznam zvuku jsou
označeny následujícím symbolem.
Následující symbol znamená, že disk není
určen pro záznam zvuku.
• Některé disky CD-R (v závislosti na zaříze-
ní použitém pro záznam na disk a na vlastnostech disku) nemusí přístroj přehrát.
• Není možné přehrávat neukončené* disky
CD-R.
* Způsob zpracování nutný pro přehrávání
nahraného disku CD-R v přehrávačích zvukových
kompaktních disků.
• Na tomto přehrávači nelze přehrávat disky
CD-RW (přepisovatelné kompaktní disky).
• Na přístroji není možné přehrávat disky
zvláštních tvarů (srdcové, čtvercové či
hvězdicové atd.). Pokud se o to pokusíte,
můžete přístroj poškodit. Takové disky
nepoužívejte.
• V přístroji nelze přehrávat disky o průměru
8 cm.
• Před začátkem přehrávání očistěte disk čis-
ticím hadříkem (k dostání ve specializovaných obchodech). Disk čistěte směrem od
středu k okraji. Nepoužívejte čisticí prostředky jako např. benzin, ředidla, čističe
nebo antistatické spreje určené pro
gramofonové desky.
