Precautions

To avoid the risk of serious injury or accident, read the following precautions before installing and operating the player.

On safety

Do not put any foreign objects in the DC IN 12V jack.

On power sources

•Use house current or a car battery (12 V DC).

•For use in your house, use the AC power

adaptor supplied with the player. Do not use any other AC power adaptor since it may cause the player to malfunction.

Polarity of the plug

•Connect the AC power adaptor to an easily

accessible AC outlet. Should you notice an abnormality in the AC power adaptor, disconnect it from the AC outlet immediately.

•Do not place the AC power adaptor in a

confined space, such as a bookcase or built-in cabinet.

•To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do

not use the AC power adaptor in a place exposed to water or moisture. Do not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the player.

•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.

•If you are not going to use the player for a

long time, be sure to disconnect the power supply (AC power adapter or car battery cord). To remove the AC power adaptor from the wall outlet, grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.

On heat build-up

Heat may build up in the player if it is used for an extended period of time. This, however, is not a malfunction.

For driver‘s safety

Comply with your local traffic rules and regulations.

•While driving

— The driver must not watch or operate the

player. It may lead to distraction and cause an accident.

— The driver must not use the headphones.

It may lead to distraction and cause an accident.

Park the car in a safe place when the driver watches and operates the player or uses the headphones.

•While operating — Do not insert your hands, fingers or

foreign objects into the player. It may cause injury or damage to the player.

— Take extra care not to wind the wire of the

headphones around your neck avoiding injury or suffocation in the event of a sudden movement of the vehicle.

— Keep small articles out of the reach of

children.

•If the player does not work, check the connections first. If everything is in order, check the fuse.

•If your car was parked in direct sunlight, allow the player to cool off before operating it.

•Avoid installing the player in places: — subject to temperature below 0°C or above

45°C — subject to direct sunlight — near heat sources (such as heaters) — exposed to rain or moisture — exposed to excessive dust or dirt — subject to excessive vibration — subject to heat:

Keep the player away from nearby hot vehicle components that heat up over time such as hoses, high current wires, and braking systems components. Make sure to leave enough room for ventilation on openings and slots to protect from over heating.

If you have any questions or problems concerning the player, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

On charging

•

Be sure to use the supplied AC power adaptor.

•If you do not use the player for a long time, remove the rechargeable battery from the player and keep it in the cool, dry place. To prevent degradation of the rechargeable battery, make sure not to store the rechargeable battery when it is either completely discharged or fully charged.

•The rechargeable battery may become hot during the charging procedure; this, however poses no danger.

•Charge the rechargeable battery pack at a temperature between 5°C (41°F) and 35°C (95°F). The charging time will vary according to the surrounding temperature. (If the surrounding temperature is low, the required charging time will be longer. This is a characteristic of the built-in lithium-ion battery.)

•Because of the battery characteristics, the capacity of the rechargeable battery pack may be smaller than normal when it is used for the first time or after a long period of disuse. In this case, charge and discharge the battery several times. The normal battery life will be restored.

•If the capacity of the rechargeable battery pack drops to half the normal amount, consult your nearest Sony dealer.

On battery

Incorrect battery usage may lead to leakage of battery fluid or bursting battery. To prevent such accidents, observe the following precautions:

•

Install the + and – poles of the battery correctly.

•When the player is not to be used for a long time, be sure to remove the battery.

•If a battery leak should develop, carefully and thoroughly wipe away battery fluid from the battery compartment before inserting new ones.

Moisture condensation

On a rainy day or in a very damp area, moisture condensation may occur inside the lenses. Should this occur, the player will not operate properly. In such a case, remove the disc and wait for about an hour until the moisture has evaporated.

To maintain high sound quality

Be careful not to splash a drink such as juice or other soft drinks onto the player or discs.
