Precautions

On safety

•As the laser beam used in the CD player section is harmful to the eyes, do not attempt to disassemble the casing. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

•Should any solid object or liquid fall into the player, unplug the player, and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

On power sources

•For AC operation, check that the player’s operating voltage is identical with your local power supply (see “Specifications”) and use the supplied AC power cord; do not use any other type. The voltage selector is located at the bottom of the player (excluding models for Europe).

•The player is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the player itself has been turned off.

•For battery operation, use six R20 (size D) batteries.

•When the batteries are not to be used, remove them to avoid damage that can be caused by battery leakage or corrosion.

•The nameplate indicating operating voltage, power consumption, etc. is located at the bottom.

•The caution label is located on the rear panel (UK model only).

On placement

•Do not leave the player in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical shock.

•Do not place the player on an inclined or unstable place.

•Do not place anything within 10 mm of the side of the cabinet. The ventilation holes must be unobstructed for the player to operate properly and prolong the life of its components.

•If the player is left in a car parked in the sun, be sure to choose a location in the car where the player will not be subjected to the direct rays of the sun.

•Since a strong magnet is used for the speakers, keep personal credit cards using magnetic coding or spring- wound watches away from the player to prevent possible damage from the magnet.

On operation

•If the player is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lenses inside the CD player section. Should this occur, the player will not operate properly. In this case, remove the CD and wait about an hour for the moisture to evaporate.

•If the player has not been used for a long time, set it in the playback mode to warm it up for a few minutes before inserting a cassette.

If you have any questions or problems concerning your player, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
