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.

Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square, star) cannot be played on this player. Attempting to do so may damage the player. Do not use such discs.

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 mains lead; do not use any other type. The voltage selector is located at the bottom of the player (Brazilian model only).

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 eight 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.

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 lens 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.
