Notes on playing MP3 discs
• Do not save other types of files or unnecessary
folders on a disc that has MP3 files.
• Folders that have no MP3 files are skipped.
• MP3 files are played back in the order that
they are recorded onto the disc.
• The system can only play MP3 files that have
a file extension of “.mp3”.
• Even when file name has the “.mp3” file
extension, if the actual file differs, playing
this file may generate a loud noise which
could damage the speaker system and the
system may malfunction.
• The maximum number of:
– folders is 255 (including the root folder).
– MP3 files is 512.
– folder levels (the tree structure of files) is 8.
• Compatibility with all MP3 encoding/writing
software, recording device, and recording
media cannot be guaranteed. Incompatible
MP3 discs may produce noise or interrupted
audio or may not play at all.
Notes on playing multisession discs
• If the first session on the disc is a CD-DA
session, the other sessions on the disc cannot
be recognized regardless of the session
format; only CD-DA tracks in the first sessio n
can be played back.
• If the session format for the first session is
CD-ROM and the following sessions are
recorded in the same format, the system will
continue to play back MP3 files accordingly
in multiple sessions until the system
encounters another session recorded in a
different format.

Notes
• When transferring music from a CD, the
tracks are transferred as 128 kbps MP3 files.
When transferring music from an MP3 disc,
MP3 files are transferred at the same bit rate
as that of the original MP3 files.
• If you start transferring in shuffle play mode,
repeat play mode or in program play mode
(when no tracks or MP3 files are
programmed), the selected play mode is
automatically cancelled and the play mode
switches to normal play mode.
• While transferring music from an MP3 disc,
no sound is output and “HI-SPEED” appears.
• CD text information is not transferred in the
created MP3 files.
• If you cancel the process in the middle of
music transfer, an incomplete M P3 file will be
created up to the point when the transfer was
stopped.
• Transferring stops automatically if:
– the USB device runs out of space.
– the number of audio files on the USB device
reaches the limit for the number that the
system can recognize.
• If the folder to be erased contains non-MP3/
WMA/AAC format files or sub folders, these
are not erased.
• If a folder or file that you are trying to transfer
already exists on the USB device with the
same name, a sequential number is added after
the name without overwriting the original
folder or file.
• Do not remove the USB device or disconnect
the power cord during transfer or erase
operations. Doing so may corrupt the data on
the USB device or damage the USB device
itself.

Precautions
Discs that this system CAN play
• Audio CD
• CD-R/CD-RW (audio data/MP3 files)
Discs that this system CANNOT play
•CD-ROM
• CD-R/CD-RW other than those
recorded in music CD format or MP3
format conforming to ISO9660 Level
1/Level 2, Joliet
• CD-R/CD-RW recorded in
multisession that have not ended by
“closing the session”
• CD-R/CD-RW of poor recording
quality, CD-R/CD-RW that have
scratches or are dirty, or CD-R/CDRW recorded with an incompatible
recording device
• CD-R/CD-RW which is finalized
incorrectly
• Discs containing files other than
MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3 (MP3) files
• Discs of non-standard shape (for
example, heart, square, star)
• Discs that have adhesive tape, paper, or
sticker attached to them
• Rental or used discs with attached seals
where the glue extends beyond the seal
• Discs that have labels printed using ink
that feels tacky when touched
Notes on discs
• Before playing, wipe the disc with a
cleaning cloth from the centre outward
to the edge.
• Do not clean discs with solvents, such
as benzine, thinner, or commercially
available cleaners or anti-static spray
intended for vinyl LPs.
• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight
or heat sources such as hot air ducts,
nor leave it in a car parked in direct
sunlight.
On safety
• Completely disconnect the power cord
(mains lead) from the wall outlet
(mains) if it is not going to be used for
an extended period of time. When
unplugging the unit, always grip the
plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• Should any solid object or liquid get
into the system, unplug the system, and
have it checked by qualified personnel
before operating it again.
• AC power cord must be changed only
at the qualified service shop.
On placement
• Do not place the system in an inclined
position or in locations that are
extremely hot, cold, dusty, dirty, or
humid or lacking adequate ventilation,
or subject to vibration, direct sunlight
or a bright light.
• Be careful when placing the unit or
speakers on surfaces that have been
specially treated (for example, with
wax, oil, polish) as staining or
discoloration of the surface may result.
• If the system is brought directly from a
cold to a warm location or is placed in
a very damp room, moisture may
condense on the lens inside the CD
player, and cause the system to
malfunction. In this situation, remove
the disc, and leav e the system turned on
for about an hour until the moisture
evaporates.
On heat buildup
• Heat buildup on the unit during
operation is normal and is not cause for
alarm.
• Do not touch the cabinet if it has been
used continuously at a high volume
because the cabinet may have become
hot.
• Do not obstruct the ventilation holes.

On the speaker system
This speaker system is not magnetically
shielded, and the picture on nearby TV
sets may become magnetically distorted.
In this situation, turn off the TV, wait 15
to 30 minutes, and turn it back on. If there
is no improvement, move the speakers far
away from the TV.
Cleaning the cabinet
Clean this system with a soft cloth slightly
moistened with a mild detergent solution.
Do not use any type of abrasive pad,
scouring powder, or solvent, such as
thinner, benzine, or alcohol.
Troubleshooting
1 Make sure the power cord and
speaker cords are correctly and
firmly connected.
2 Find your problem in the checklist
below, and take the indicated
corrective action.
If the issue persists, contact your
nearest Sony dealer.
If “PROTECT” appears on the
display
Immediately unplug the power cord,
and check the following items after
“PROTECT” disappears.
• Are the + and – speaker cords shortcircuited?
• Is anything blocking the ventilation
holes on the back of the system?
After you have checked these above
items and found to be all right,
reconnect the power cord, and turn on
the system. If the issue persists, contact
your nearest Sony dealer.

General
The demonstration appears on the
display after plugging in the power
cord even though the system is not
turned on.
Press DISPLAY once while the system is
off. The demonstration disappears.
The system does not turn on.
Is the power cord plugged in?
The system has entered standby
mode unexpectedly.
This is not a malfunction. The system
enters standby mode automatically in
about 30 minutes when there is no
operation and audio signal output. See
“To turn off the automatic standby
function” (page 27).
There is no sound.
• Are the + and – speaker cords shortcircuited?
• Are you using only the supplied
speakers?
• Is anything blocking the ventilation
holes on the back of the system?
Sound comes from one channel, or
the left and right volumes are
unbalanced.
• Place the speakers as symmetrically as
possible.
• Connect only the supplied speakers.
Severe hum or noise.
• Move the system away from sources of
noise.
• Connect the system to a different wall
outlet.
• Install a noise filter (available
separately) to the power cord.
The remote does not function.
• Remove any obstacles between the
remote and the remote sensor on the
unit, and position the unit away from
fluorescent lights.
• Point the remote at the system’s sensor.
• Move the remote closer to the system.
Except ?/1, no buttons on the unit
work, and “CHILD LOCK” appears on

CD/MP3 player
The sound skips, or the disc will not
play.
• Wipe the disc clean, and replace it.
• Move the system to a location away
from vibration (for example, on top of
a stable stand).
• Move the speakers away from the
system, or place them on separate
stands. At high volume, speaker
vibration may cause the sound to skip.
Play does not start from the first
track.
Return to Normal Play by pressing PLAY
MODE repeatedly until both “PGM” and
“SHUF” disappear.
Starting playback takes more time
than usual.
The following instances can increase the
time it takes to start playback.
– a disc recorded with a complicated tree
structure
– a disc recorded in multisession mode
– a disc that has not been finalized (a disc
to which data can be added)
– a disc that has many folders
The disc tray does not open and
“LOCKED” appears.
