When using another Sony CD player together with this player

You can make the supplied remote so that it is effective only for this player.

•When using a player equipped with the COMMAND MODE selector:

Set the command mode selector of this player to CD1 (Factory preset position) and that of another player to CD2 or CD3. Then set the CD 1/2/3 switch on the remote supplied for each player accordingly.

•When using a player not equipped with the COMMAND MODE selector:

Setting the voltage selector (voltage selector equipped models only)

Check that the voltage selector on the rear panel of the player is set to the local power line voltage. If not, set the selector to the correct position using a screwdriver before connecting the AC power cord to a wall outlet.
