of features.

Precautions

•If your car was parked in direct sunlight

resulting in a considerable rise in

temperature inside the car, allow the unit to

cool off before operating it.

•If no power is being supplied to the unit,

check the connections first. If everything is in

order, check the fuse.

•If no sound comes from the speakers of a

two-speaker system, set the fader control to

the centre position.

•If your car is equipped with a power aerial, it

will extend automatically while the unit is

operating.

If you have any questions or problems

concerning your unit that are not covered in

this manual, please consult your nearest Sony

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.

Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,

commercially available cleaners, or antistatic

spray intended for analog discs.

Notes on discs

If you use the discs explained below, the sticky

residue can cause the CD to stop spinning and

may cause malfunction or ruin your discs.

Do not use second-hand or rental CDs that

have a sticky residue on the surface (for

example from peeled-off stickers or from ink,

or glue leaking from under the stickers).

There are paste residue

Ink is sticky

Do not use rental CDs with old labels that are

beginning to peel off.

Stickers that are beginning

to peel away, leaving a

sticky residue

Notes on CD-R discs

•You can play CD-Rs (recordable CDs) on this

unit. However depending on the conditions

of the recording equipment or the CD-R disc

itself, some CD-Rs cannot be played on this

unit.

•You cannot play a CD-R that is not finalized

(Finalization is necessary for a recorded CD-

R disc to be played on the audio CD player).

•You cannot play CD-RWs (rewritable CDs)

on this player.

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

disc and wait for about an hour until the

moisture evaporates.
