Additional

Information

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

dealer.

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 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.

When you play 8 cm CDs

Use the optional Sony compact disc single

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

damage.

Fuse (10 A)

Maintenance

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.

Warning

Never use a fuse with an amperage rating

exceeding the one supplied with the unit as

this could damage the unit.

Dismounting the unit

1Insert the supplied tool between the unit

and the frame, and rotate 90° to release

the hidden mounting spring. Repeat on

the opposite side and remove the frame.

2Insert a flathead screwdriver between
