must be used.
If the plug supplied with this

Precautions
On safety
• As the laser beam used in the CD
player section is harmful to the eyes,
do not attempt to disassemble the
casing. Refer servicing to qualified
personnel only.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall
into the player, unplug the player,
and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any
further.
On power sources
• For AC operation, check that the
player’s operating voltage is identical
with your local power supply (See
“Specifications”) and use the
supplied AC power cord; do not use
any other type. The voltage selector is
located at the bottom of the player
(only for the models equipped with
the VOLTAGE SELECTOR at the
bottom).
• The player is not disconnected from
the AC power source (mains) as long
as it is connected to the wall outlet,
even if the player itself has been
turned off.
• For battery operation, use six size D
(R20) batteries.
• When the batteries are not to be used,
remove them to avoid damage that
can be caused by battery leakage or
corrosion.
• The nameplate indicating operating
voltage, power consumption, etc. is
located at the bottom.
On placement
• Do not leave the player in a location
near heat sources, or in a place
subject to direct sunlight, excessive
dust or mechanical shock.
• Do not place the player on an inclined
or unstable place.
• Do not place anything within 10 mm
of the side of the cabinet. The
ventilation holes must be
unobstructed for the player to operate
properly and prolong the life of its
components.
• If the player is left in a car parked in
the sun, be sure to choose a location
in the car where the player will not be
subjected to the direct rays of the sun.
About this manual
The design of the speakers of CFDV10 and CFD-910 differs depending
on the area the model is marketed.
The one marketed in the UK and
Italy is the model used for
illustration purposes.
•Since a strong magnet is used for the
speakers, keep personal credit cards
using magnetic coding or springwound watches away from the player
to prevent possible damage from the
magnet.
On operation
•If the player is brought directly from
a cold to a warm location, or is placed
in a very damp room, moisture may
condense on the lenses inside the CD
player section. Should this occur, the
player will not operate properly. In
this case, remove the CD and wait
about an hour for the moisture to
evaporate.
•If the player has not been used for a
long time, set it in the playback mode
to warm it up for a few minutes
before inserting a cassette.
If you have any questions or problems
concerning your player, please consult
your nearest Sony dealer.
Notes on CDs
•Before playing, clean the CD with a
cleaning cloth. Wipe the CD from the
center out.
•Do not use solvents such as benzine,
thinner, commercially available
cleaners or anti-static spray intended
for vinyl LPs.
•Do not expose the CD to direct
sunlight or heat sources such as hot
air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked
in direct sunlight as there can be a
considerable rise in temperature
inside the car.
•Do not stick paper or sticker on the
CD, nor scratch the surface of the CD.
•After playing, store the CD in its case.
If there is a scratch, dirt or fingerprints
on the CD, it may cause tracking error
