Overview

This system, with its internal hard disc (HD), supports the following functions:

HD configuration

CDs

Library area

Album/track

Any sound source

Flexible area

Library area

This area can be used like a 250-CD changer. CDs (or selected tracks from a CD) are stored as albums in this area (the “L” indicator lights up). Up to 250 albums can be stored here.

Flexible area

This area can be used like a 250-MD changer. As on an MD deck, you can record from any sound source to the Flexible area and then edit the recorded material in this area (the “F” indicator lights up). Up to 250 albums can be stored here.

History

This system memorizes the 20 most recently played albums, any of which can be selected for playback.

Labelling

The supplied “M-crew for CMT-L7HD” software* enables CDDB2** to be accessed from your computer for automatic labelling of albums and tracks (refer to the Help).

* For details, see to “Overview” on page 46 **A database containing information on CDs on the

market

Notes

• The recorded music is limited to private use

only. Use of the music beyond this limit requires permission of the copyright holders.

• Sony is not responsible for any loss that may

arise from lost data.

• Recording to the hard disc should be considered

as a temporary means of storing audio data. Be sure to retain the original sound source as backup.

• There is no service for the recovery of lost data.

• You may hear sounds as the system access the

hard disc when you turn on the system, play an HD track, record to the HD, etc. These sounds are natural to the HD and are not abnormal.

• The system may make sounds even when no

operation is being performed. These sounds are produced by the system’s self-maintenance functions and are not abnormal.

• You may also feel vibrations from the system,

but this is not a malfunction.

To turn on the system, press @/1.

Notes

• Either mount both speakers or remove both speakers. Do not use the system with only one speaker mounted.

• When moving the system, first detach the main unit from the desktop stand, and then move the system. If you leave the speakers attached during the move, make sure to grasp the system by the main unit, and not by the speakers.

Inserting two size AAA (R03) batteries into the remote

Tip

When the remote no longer operates the system, replace both batteries with new ones.

Note

If you do not use the remote for a long period of time, remove the batteries to prevent possible damage from battery leakage and corrosion.

Using the wall hanging bracket

You can hang the system on the wall using the supplied wall hanging bracket.

The screws for attaching the wall hanging bracket to the wall are not supplied. When installing the bracket by yourself, be sure to use screws appropriate for the type of wall. Sony cannot take responsibility for any damages or injury due to installation.

Safety precautions

• The supplied bracket is for use with the Sony Interior Hi-Fi Component System CMT-L7HD only. Using this item for purposes other than to hang the system on the wall may result in accidents.

• The component system CMT-L7HD (7.9 kg) and the wall hanging bracket (0.6 kg) have a combined weight of 8.5 kg. Therefore, for safety reasons, the bracket should be attached securely to a wall made from materials capable of supporting a load of 50 kg or more.

• When you hang the system on the wall, make sure the left and right speakers are both attached or both detached. Attaching one speaker without the other may cause the system to drop and injure someone.

Preparation

• The screws for attaching the wall hanging bracket to the wall are not supplied. Be sure to purchase screws suited to the wall materials.

• If the wall materials cannot support a load of 50 kg or more, be sure to reinforce the wall.

Hanging the system on the wall

1Fix the wall hanging bracket to the wall

using 8 screws (not supplied).

Note

Be sure to secure the bracket in a level position.

groove at the bottom of the speaker. Otherwise, the speaker cord could be damaged.

3Attach the speakers.

Afterwards, push down on the speakers to make sure they are securely fastened to the main unit.

4Connect the speaker cords to the SPEAKER

jacks.

5Attach the system to the wall hanging
