About CD-Rs/CD-RWs

This CD player can play CD-Rs/CD-RWs recorded in the ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3, MP3 or CDDA* format, but playback capability may vary depending on the quality of the disc and the condition of the recording device.

*CDDA is the abbreviation for Compact Disc Digital Audio. It is a recording standard used for the Audio CDs.

Notes on cassettes

Break off the cassette tab from side A or B to prevent accidental recording. If you want to reuse the tape for recording, cover the broken tab with adhesive tape.

Side A

Tab for side A

Tab for side B

We do not recommend the use of tape longer than 90 minutes. They are very thin and tend to be stretched easily. This may cause malfunction of the unit or sound deterioration.

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