Discs that this unit CAN play
• Audio CD
• CD-R/CD-RW (CD-DA*)
* CD-DA is the abbreviation for Compact Disc Digital
Audio. It is a recording standard used for Audio CDs.
Discs that this unit CANNOT play
• CD-R/CD-RW other than those recorded in music CD
format
• CD-R/CD-RW of poor recording quality, CD-R/CD-
RW that has scratches or are dirty, or CD-R/CD-RW
recorded with an incompatible recording device
• CD-R/CD-RW which is finalized incorrectly
Notes on discs
• Before playing, clean the CD with
a cleaning cloth. Wipe the CD
from the center out. If there is a
scratch, dirt or fingerprints on the
CD, it may cause tracking errors.
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,
commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray
intended for vinyl LPs.
• Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat sources
such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked in
direct sunlight, as there can be a considerable rise in
temperature inside the car.
• Do not stick paper or stickers on the CD, nor scratch
the surface of the CD.
• After playing, store the CD in its case.
On safety
• As the laser beam used in the CD player section is
harmful to the eyes, do not attempt to disassemble the
casing. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the player,
unplug the player, and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
• Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square,
star) cannot be played on this player. Attempting to do
so may damage the player. Do not use such discs.
On power sources
• For AC operation, use the supplied AC power cord; do
not use any other type.
• Unplug the player from the wall outlet when it is not to
be used for an extended period of time.
• When the batteries are not to be used, remove them to
avoid damage that can be caused by battery leakage or
corrosion.
On placement
• Do not leave the player in a location near heat sources,
in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or
mechanical shock, or in a car subject to the direct rays
of the sun.
• Do not place the player on an inclined or unstable
place.
• Do not place anything within 10 mm of the side of the
cabinet. The ventilation holes must be unobstructed for
the player to operate properly and prolong the life of its
components.
• Since a strong magnet is used for the speakers, keep
personal credit cards using magnetic coding or springwound watches away from the player to prevent
possible damage from the magnet.
On operation
• If the player 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 section.
Should this occur, the player will not operate properly.
In this case, remove the CD and wait about an hour for
the moisture to evaporate.
Cleaning the cabinet
• Clean the cabinet, panel and controls 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 alcohol or benzine.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your
player, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
