This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: – Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. – Increase the separation between the equipment

and receiver.

– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a

circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV

technician for help.

You are cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved in this manual could void your authority to operate this equipment.

This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

This equipment complies with FCC and IC radiation exposure limits set forth for uncontrolled equipment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This equipment has very low levels of RF energy that it deemed to comply without maximum permissive exposure evaluation (MPE). But it is desirable that it should be installed and operated with at least 20 cm and more between the radiator and person’s body (excluding extremities: hands, wrists, feet and ankles).

Note on the lithium battery

Do not expose the battery to excessive heat such as direct sunlight, fire or the like.

Warning if your car’s ignition has no ACC position

Be sure to set the Auto Off function (page 50). The unit will shut off completely and automatically in the set time after the unit is turned off, which prevents battery drain. If you do not set the Auto Off function, press and hold (SOURCE/OFF) until the display disappears each time you turn the ignition off.

To cancel the demonstration (Demo) display, see page 53.

parked in direct sunlight.

• Power antenna (aerial) extends automatically.

Moisture condensation

Should moisture condensation occur inside the unit, remove the disc and wait for about an hour for it to dry out; otherwise the unit will not operate properly.

To maintain high sound quality

Do not splash liquid onto the unit or discs.

Notes on LCD panel

• Do not press on the LCD panel as doing so can

distort the picture or cause a malfunction (i.e., the picture may become unclear, or the LCD panel may be damaged).

• Do not touch other than with the finger, as it may

damage or break the LCD panel.

• Clean the LCD panel with a dry soft cloth. Do not

use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or antistatic spray.

• Do not use this unit outside the temperature range

5 – 45 ºC (41 – 113 ºF).

• If your car was parked in a cold or hot place, the

picture may not be clear. However, the monitor is not damaged, and the picture will become clear after the temperature in your car becomes normal.

• Some stationary blue, red or green dots may

appear on the monitor. These are called “bright spots,” and can happen with any LCD. The LCD panel is precision-manufactured with more than

99.99 % of its segments functional. However, it is possible that a small percentage (typically 0.01 %) of the segments may not light up properly. This will not, however, interfere with your viewing.

Notes on discs

• 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.

• Before playing, wipe the discs

with a cleaning cloth from the center out. Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners.

About Bluetooth function

What is Bluetooth technology?

• Bluetooth wireless technology is a short-range wireless technology that enables wireless data communication between digital devices, such as a cellular phone and a headset. Bluetooth wireless technology operates within a range of about 10 m (about 33 feet). Connecting two devices is common, but some devices can be connected to multiple devices at the same time.

• You do not need to use a cable for connection since Bluetooth technology is a wireless technology, neither is it necessary for the devices to face one another, such is the case with infrared technology. For example, you can use such a device in a bag or pocket.

• Bluetooth technology is an international standard supported by millions of companies all over the world, and employed by various companies worldwide.

On Bluetooth communication

• Bluetooth wireless technology operates within a range of about 10 m. Maximum communication range may vary depending on obstacles (person, metal, wall, etc.) or electromagnetic environment.

• The following conditions may affect the sensitivity of Bluetooth communication. – There is an obstacle such as a person, metal, or

wall between this unit and Bluetooth device.

– A device using 2.4 GHz frequency, such as a

wireless LAN device, cordless telephone, or microwave oven, is in use near this unit.

• Because Bluetooth devices and wireless LAN (IEEE802.11b/g) use the same frequency, microwave interference may occur and result in communication speed deterioration, noise, or invalid connection if this unit is used near a wireless LAN device. In such as case, perform the following. – Use this unit at least 10 m away from the

wireless LAN device.

– If this unit is used within 10 m of a wireless

LAN device, turn off the wireless LAN device.

– Install this unit and Bluetooth device as near to

each other as possible.

• Microwaves emitting from a Bluetooth device may affect the operation of electronic medical devices. Turn off this unit and other Bluetooth devices in the following locations, as it may cause an accident. – where inflammable gas is present, in a hospital,

train, airplane, or petrol station

– near automatic doors or a fire alarm

• This unit supports security capabilities that comply with the Bluetooth standard to provide a secure connection when the Bluetooth wireless technology is used, but security may not be enough depending on the setting. Be careful when communicating using Bluetooth wireless technology.

continue to next page t

• We do not take any responsibility for the leakage of information during Bluetooth communication.

• Connection with all Bluetooth devices cannot be guaranteed. – A device featuring Bluetooth function is

required to conform to the Bluetooth standard specified by Bluetooth SIG, and be authenticated.

– Even if the connected device conforms to the

above mentioned Bluetooth standard, some devices may not be connected or work correctly, depending on the features or specifications of the device.

– While talking on the phone handsfree, noise may

occur, depending on the device or communication environment.

• Depending on the device to be connected, it may require some time to start communication.

Others

• Using the Bluetooth device may not function on cellular phones, depending on radio wave conditions and location where the equipment is being used.

• If you experience discomfort after using the Bluetooth device, stop using the Bluetooth device immediately. Should any problem persist, consult your nearest Sony dealer.

If you have any questions or problems concerning your unit that are not covered in this manual, consult your nearest Sony dealer.

WARNING

Battery may explode if mistreated. Do not recharge, disassemble, or dispose of in fire.

Fuse replacement

When replacing the fuse, be sure to use one matching the amperage rating stated on the original fuse. If the fuse blows, check the power connection and replace the fuse. If the fuse blows again after replacement, there may be an internal malfunction. In such a case, consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Maintenance

Replacing the lithium battery of the card remote commander

Under normal conditions, the battery will last approximately 1 year. (The service life may be shorter, depending on the conditions of use.) When the battery becomes weak, the range of the card remote commander becomes shorter. Replace the battery with a new CR2025 lithium battery. Use of any other battery may present a risk of fire or explosion.
