Notes on CDs

•Before playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the CD from the center out.

•Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.

•Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight as there can be a considerable rise in temperature inside the car.

•Do not stick paper or sticker on the CD, nor scratch the surface of the CD.

•After playing, store the CD in its case.

If there is a scratch, dirt or fingerprints on the CD, it may cause tracking error.

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.

•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.
