Additional Information
Playable discs
• AUDIO CD
• CD-R/CD-RW
– audio data
– MP3 files that conform to ISO9660
Level 1/Level 2, or Joliet (expansion
format).
Notes
• MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3) is a standard
format defined by ISO (International
Organization for Standardization) which
compresses audio data. MP3 files must be in
MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3 format.
• The system can only play back MP3 files that
have a file extension of “.mp3”.
Discs that cannot be played back
•CD-ROM
• CD-R/CD-RW which has the following
conditions:
– Recorded in MP3 PRO format
– Recorded in multisession that was not
ended by “closing the session”
– Recorded with an incompatible
recording device
– Poor recording quality
– Scratched or dirty
– Finalized incorrectly
• Discs of non-standard shape (e.g., heart,
square, star, etc.)
• 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
Music discs encoded with copyright
protection technologies
This product is designed to play back
discs that conform to the Compact Disc
(CD) standard. Recently, various music
discs encoded with copyright protection
technologies are marketed by some record
companies. Please be aware that among
those discs, there are some that do not
conform to the CD standard and may not
be playable by this product.
Notes on playing multisession discs
• This system can play back multisession
discs when an MP3 file is contained in
the first session. Any subsequent MP3
files recorded in later sessions can also
be played back (If later sessions contain
AUDIO CD format, the system cannot
play back these multisession discs).
• If the first session is recorded in AUDIO
CD format, only the first session will be
played back.

2 Remove the disc.
Press Z to open and close the disc tray.
Wait until “NO DISC” appears in the
display panel.
3 Unplug the AC power cord.
Notes on discs
• Before playing, wipe the disc with a cleaning
cloth from the center outward to the edge.
30
GB
• 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 AC 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 system on
surfaces that have been specially treated (for
example, 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 unit, and cause the system to
malfunction. In this situation, remove the
disc, and leave 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 a 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
The built-in speaker system is not magnetically
shielded, and the picture on nearby TV sets may
become magnetically distor ted. In this situation,
turn off the TV, wait 15 to 30 minutes, and turn
it back on. If there is no improvement, move the
system 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.
On Bluetooth Communication
• Bluetooth devices should be used within
approximately 10 meters (unobstructed
distance) of each other. The effective
communication range may become shorter
under the following conditions.
– When a person, metal object, wall or other
obstruction is between the devices with a
Bluetooth connection
– Locations where a wireless LAN is installed
– Around microwave ovens that are in use
– Locations where other electromagnetic
waves occur
• Bluetooth devices and wireless LAN
(IEEE 802.11b/g) use the same frequency
band (2.4 GHz). When using your Bluetooth
device near a device with wireless LAN
capability, electromagnetic interference may
occur. This could result in lower data transfer
rates, noise, or inability to connect. If this
happens, try the following remedies:
– Try connecting this system and Bluetooth
device when you are at least 10 meters away
from the wireless LAN equipment.
– Turn off the power to the wireless LAN
equipment when using your Bluetooth
device within 10 meters.
• The radio waves broadcast by this system may
interfere with the operation of some medical
devices. Since this interference may result in
malfunction, always turn off the power on this
system and Bluetooth device in the following
locations:
– In hospitals, on trains, in airplanes, at gas
stations, and any place where flammable
gases may be present
– Near automatic doors or fire alarms
• This system supports security functions that
comply with the Bluetooth specification as a
means of ensuring security during
communication using Bluetooth technology.
However, this security may be insufficient
depending on the setting contents and other
factors, so always be careful when performing
communication using Bluetooth technology.
• Sony cannot be held liable in any way for
damages or other loss resulting from
information leaks during communication
using Bluetooth technology.
31
Additional Information
GB
• Bluetooth communication is not necessarily
guaranteed with all Bluetooth devices that
have the same profile as this system.
• Bluetooth devices connected with this system
must comply with the Bluetooth specification
prescribed by the Bluetooth SIG, Inc., and
must be certified to comply. However, even
when a device complies with the Bluetooth
specification, there may be cases where the
characteristics or specifications of the
Bluetooth device make it impossible to
connect, or may result in different control
methods, display or operation.
• Noise may occur or the audio may cut off
depending on the Bluetooth device connected
with this system, the communications
environment, or surrounding conditions.
