accessories:

Optional accessories

Rotary commander RM-X4S

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 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.

Moisture Condensation

On a rainy day or in a very damp area,

moisture may condense on the lenses inside

the unit. Should this occur, the unit will not

operate properly. In such a case, remove the

disc and wait for about an hour until the

moisture has evaporated.

To maintain high quality sound

If you have drink holders near your audio

equipment, be careful not to splash juice or

other soft drinks onto the unit and CD. Sugary

residues on the unit or CD may contaminate

the lenses inside the unit, reduce the sound

quality, or prevent sound reproduction

altogether.

Notes on handling discs

A dirty or defective disc may cause sound

dropouts while playing. To enjoy optimum

sound, handle the disc as follows.

Handle the disc by its edge. To keep the disc

clean, do not touch the surface.

Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.

Keep your discs in their cases or disc

magazines when not in use.

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 center

out.

Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,

commercially available cleaners, or antistatic

spray intended for analog discs.

Discs with special shapes (heart-shaped discs,

octagonal discs etc.) cannot be played on this

unit. Attempting to do so may damage the

unit. Do not use such discs.

Notes on discs

If you use the discs explained below, the sticky

residue can cause the disc 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.

Do not use your discs with labels or stickers

attached.

Labels are attached.

Notes on CD-R discs

designed for audio use on this unit.

Look for this mark to

distinguish CD-Rs for audio

use.

This mark denotes that a

disc is not for audio use.

•Some CD-Rs (depending on the equipment

used for its recording or the condition of the

disc) may not play on this unit.

•You cannot play a CD-R that is not

finalized*.
