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.

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

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

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).

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.
