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 the temperature inside the car.

Before playing, clean the discs with an optional cleaning cloth. Wipe each disc from the center out.

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 being damaged.
