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

If you have any questi ons 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 len se 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 unt il 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 a disc clean, do not touch its surface. Handle the disc by its ed ge.

• Keep your discs in their cases or disc magazines when not in use.

• Do not subject dis cs to heat/high tempe rature. Avoid leaving them in a parked car or on a dashboard/rear tray.

• 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 ruin the disc.

• Do not use any discs wit h l abels or stickers attached. The following malfunctions may result from using such discs: – Ina b ility to ej e ct a disc (d ue 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 ca using a disc to warp.

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

• You cannot play 8 cm CDs.

Notes on CD-Rs (recordable CDs)/CDRWs (rewritable CDs)

This unit can play the following discs:

Type of discs Label on the disc

Audio CD

MP3 files

• Some CD-Rs/ C D -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*.

• You can play MP3 files recorded on CDROMs, CD-Rs, and CD-RWs.

• A CD-R/CD-RW to which a sess ion can be added can be played.

About MP3 files

MP3 (MPEG 1 A udio Layer-3) is a sta ndard technology and format for compressing a soun d sequence. Th e fi le i s comp ressed to a bout 1/ 10 of its original size. Sounds outside the range of human hearing are compressed while the sound s we can hear are not compressed.

Notes on discs

You can play MP3 files recorded on CD-ROMs, CD-Rs, and C D -RWs. The disc must be in the ISO 9660* level 2 format, or Joliet or Romeo in the expansion format. You can use a dis c recorded in Multi Session*

ISO 9660 Format

The most common international standard for the logical format of files and folders on a CD-ROM. There are several specification levels. In Level 1, file names must be in the 8.3 format (no more than 8 characters in the name, no more than 3 characters in the extension “.MP3”) and in capital letters. Fold er names can be no longer than 8 char act ers. There can be no more than 8 nested folder levels. Level 2 specifications allow file names up to 31 characters long. Each folder can have up to 8 tree s. For Joliet or Romeo in t he expansion format, make sure of the contents of the writing software, etc.

Multi Session

This is a recording method that enables adding of data using the Track-At-Once method. Conventional CDs begin at a CD control area called the Lead-in and end at an area called Lead-out. A Multi Session CD is a CD having multiple sessions, with each segment from Lead -i n t o Lead-out regarded as a single session. CD-Extra: The format which records audio (audio CD data) as tracks on session 1, and records data as tr acks on session 2 . Mixed CD: In this format , da ta is recorded as track 1, and audio (audio CD data) is recorded as track 2.

level 1 or

* A process necessary for a recorded CD-R/CD-RW

disc to be played on the audio CD player.

Notes

• With formats other than ISO 9660 le v el 1 an d lev el 2, folder names or file names may not be displayed correctly.

• When naming, be sure to add the file extension “.MP3” to the file name.

• If you put the extension “.MP3” to a file other than MP3, the unit cannot recognize the file properly and will generate random noise that could damage your speakers.

• The following discs take a longer time to start playback. – a disc recorded with complicated tree structure. – a disc recorded in Multi Session. – a disc to which data can be added.

Cautions when playing a disc that is recorded in Multi Session

• When the first track of the first session is audio CD data: Only audio CD data of the first session is played back. Any data in subsequent sessions is skipped.

• When the first track of the first session is not audio CD data: – If an MP3 file is in the disc, only MP3 file(s) is

played back and other data is skipped. (Audio CD data is not recognized.)

– If no MP3 file is in the disc, “NO MUSIC” is

displayed and nothing is played back. (Audio CD data is not recognized.)

The playback order of the MP3 files

The playback order of the folders and files i s a s follows:

Folder (album)

MP3 file (track)

Tree 1 (root)

Notes

• A folder that does not include an MP3 file is skipped.

• When you insert a disc with many trees, it takes a

longer time to start playback. We recommend that you make only one or two trees for each disc.

• Maximum folder number: 150 (including root folder and empty folders)

• The maximum number of MP3 files and folders that can be contained in a disc: 300 When a file/folder name contains many characters, this number may become less than 300.

Tip

To specify a desired playback order, before the folder or file name, input the order by number (e.g., “01,” “02”), then record contents onto a disc. (The order differs depending on the writing software.)
