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.
•Discs with special shapes (heart-shaped
discs, octagonal discs, etc.) 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.

Radio
Receiving the stored stations
The unit can store up to 6 stations per band
(FM1, FM2, FM3, AM1, and AM2).
Caution
When tuning in stations while driving, use
Best Tuning Memory to prevent accidents.
Storing stations
automatically
— Best Tuning Memory (BTM)
The unit selects the stations with the strongest
signals within the selected band, and stores
them in the order of their frequency.
1 Press (SOURCE) repeatedly to select the
radio.
2 Press (MODE) repeatedly to select the
band.
3 Press (MENU), then press either side of
(PRESET) repeatedly until “BTM”
appears.
4 Press (ENTER).
A beep sounds when the setting is stored.
Notes
• If only a few stations can be received due to
weak signals, some number buttons will retain
their former settings.
• When a number is indicated in the display, the
unit starts storing stations from the one currently
displayed.
1 Press (SOURCE) repeatedly to select the
radio.
2 Press (MODE) repeatedly to select the
band.
3 Press the number button ((1) to (6)) on
which the desired station is stored.
Tip

If preset tuning does not work
Press either side of (SEEK) to search for
the station (automatic tuning).
Scanning stops when the unit receives a
station. Repeat until the desired station is
received.
Tips
• If automatic tuning stops too frequently, turn on
the Local Seek to limit seek to stations with
stronger signals (see “Changing the sound and
display settings,” page 16).
• If you know the frequency of the station you
want to listen to, press and hold either side of
(SEEK) to locate the approximate frequency,
then press (SEEK) repeatedly to fine adjust to
the desired frequency (manual tuning).
If FM stereo reception is poor
Select monaural reception mode.
(see “Changing the sound and display
settings,” page 16).
The sound improves, but becomes
monaural (“ST” disappears).
Note
If interference occurs, this unit will automatically
narrow the reception frequency to eliminate noise
(IF AUTO function). In such cases, some FM stereo
broadcasts may become monaural while in the
stereo reception mode.
Tip
To always hear FM stereo broadcasts in stereo, you
can change the IF AUTO setting and widen the
frequency signal reception (see “Changing the
sound and display settings,” page 16). Note that
some interference may occur in this setting.
