Notes on handling CDs

A dirty or defective disc may cause sound

dropouts while playing. To enjoy optimum

sound, handle the disc by its edge. To keep the

disc clean, do not touch the surface.

Do not stick paper or tape on the labelled

surface.

Do not expose the discs to direct sunlight or

heat sources such as hot air-ducts, or leave

them in a car parked in direct sunlight where

there can be a considerable rise in temperature

inside the car.

Before playing, clean the discs with an optional

cleaning cloth. Wipe each disc from the centre

out.

commercially available cleaners, or antistatic

spray intended for analog discs.

Notes on moisture condensation

On a rainy day or in a very damp area,

moisture may condense on the lenses inside

the CD player. Should this occur, the unit will

not operate properly. In this case, remove the

disc and wait for about an hour until the

moisture evaporates.

adapter (CSA-8) to protect the CD player from

damage.

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.
