Using the group function

The group function is provided to allow playback of discs with group settings. The group function is convenient for playback of MDs on which several albums or CD singles have been recorded in MDLP (LP2/LP4 ) mode.

What is a disc with group settings?

The player can play back tracks in units of groups; that is tracks that have been recorded on a disc as part of separate groups, as shown below.

The “3-color info-LED” lights up in green when a disc with group settings is being played.

Note

The battery life may be shorter than that specified, depending on the temperature of the location, the operating conditions, and the type of battery being used.

Using house current

You can operate the player without a rechargeable battery or a dry battery. To do this, connect the battery-charging case with speakers to an AC outlet through the AC power adaptor, and then attach the player on the battery-charging case.

BAdditional information

Precautions

On safety

•Make sure to keep the player in the supplied carrying pouch. If the terminals on the player, battery-charging case with speakers, or the dry battery case are accidentally brought into contact with a metallic object, they may short- circuit and begin to heat up.

•Keep the terminals on the player or on the dry battery case away from metallic objects or surfaces. Such contact may short-circuit the terminals and cause dangerous heat generation. When carrying the player with you, always keep the battery case attached to the supplied battery-charging case.

•When you carry the supplied rechargeable battery, be sure to put it in the supplied rechargeable battery carrying case. Carrying the rechargeable battery without the case may cause a short-circuit with metallic objects such as coins, key rings, or necklaces. As a result, heat may be generated.

•Do not put any foreign objects in the DC IN 3V jack.

•Do not carry or store the dry battery or battery case in the same place with metallic objects such as coins, key rings, or necklaces. This may cause a short-circuit and the generation of heat.

•Incorrect battery usage may cause the battery fluid to leak or battery to burst. To prevent such accidents, observe the following precautions:

—Install battery with the + and – poles aligned correctly.

—Do not charge dry battery.

•If a battery leak should develop, carefully and thoroughly wipe away the battery fluid in the battery compartment before inserting a new battery.

•If you will not use the player for a long time, be sure to disconnect the power supply (AC power adaptor, dry battery, rechargeable battery, or the battery-charging case). When disconnecting the AC power adaptor from the electrical outlet, grasp the adaptor plug itself; never pull the cord.

On the AC power adaptor (for the supplied battery-charging case)

•For use in your house: Use the supplied AC power adaptor or the optional AC-E30A AC power adaptor. Do not use any other AC power adaptor since it may cause the player to malfunction.

Polarity of the plug

•Connect the AC power adaptor to an easily accessible AC outlet. Should you notice an abnormality in the AC power adaptor, disconnect it from the AC outlet immediately.

On charging

•The supplied battery-charging case with speakers can be used only with the MZ-E810SP. It cannot be used to charge any other models.

•Do not use the supplied battery-charging case with speakers to charge any other battery besides the one designated for it.

•Charge the rechargeable battery at a temperature of +5°C (+41°F) to +40°C (+104°F). The charging time will vary according to the surrounding temperature.

•The battery-charging case and the battery may become hot during the charging procedure; this, however poses no danger.

•Because of the battery’s characteristics, the capacity of the battery may be smaller than normal when it is used for the first time or after a long period of disuse. In this case, charge and discharge the battery several times. The normal battery life will be restored.

•If the capacity of the rechargeable battery drops to half the normal amount, replace it with a new one.

•As soon as the charging is complete, remove the player from the battery-charging case and disconnect the battery-charging case from the electrical outlet. Leaving it connected may result in reduced battery performance.

On handling

•Do not drop or bump the player. This may cause the player to malfunction.

•Do not pull on the remote control or headphones/earphones cords.

•Do not place the player in the following places:

—An extremely hot place (over +60°C (+140°F))

—A place exposed to direct sunlight or near a heater

—In a car with the windows rolled up (especially in the summer)

—In a damp place such as a bathroom

—Near a source of electromagnetic fields such as a magnet, speaker, or TV

—In a dusty place

On heat build-up

Heat may build up in the player when it is charging or operated for a long time. This, however, is not a malfunction.

On mechanical noise

The player emits mechanical noise while operating, which is caused by the power- saving system of the player. This is not a malfunction.

On installation

•Never use the player where it will be subjected to extremes of light, temperature, moisture or vibration.

•Never wrap the player in anything when it is being used with the AC power adaptor. Heat build-up in the player may cause malfunction or injury.

On the remote control

The supplied remote control is designed for use with the MZ-E810SP only. Note also that the player cannot be controlled by remote controls for other models.

On the MiniDisc cartridge

•Do not touch the internal disc directly. Forcing the shutter open may damage the internal disc.

•When transporting a minidisc, keep it in its case.

•Do not place the cartridge where it will be subjected to light, temperature, moisture or dust.

•Do not affix the label outside of the specified area on the MD. Make sure the label is placed within the recessed space on the disc.

On the headphones/earphones

Road safety

•Do not use headphones/earphones while driving, cycling, or operating any motorized vehicle. This may lead to a traffic accident and is illegal in many areas. It can also be potentially dangerous to play your player at high volumes while walking, especially at pedestrian crossings. You should exercise extreme caution or discontinue using the player in potentially hazardous situations.

•If you experience an allergic reaction to the supplied headphones/earphones, stop using them at once and consult a doctor or a Sony service center.

Preventing hearing damage

Avoid using headphones/earphones at high volumes. Hearing experts advise against continuous, loud and extended play. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use.

Caring for others

Keep the volume at a moderate level. This will allow you to hear outside sounds and to be considerate of the people around you.

On the dry battery case

The supplied dry battery case is designed for use with the MZ-E810SP only.

On cleaning

•After wiping the player casing with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water, wipe it again with a dry cloth. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzene as this may mar the finish on the casing.

•Wipe the disc cartridge with a dry cloth to remove dirt.

•Dust on the lens may prevent the unit from operating properly. Be sure to close the disc compartment lid after inserting or ejecting an MD.

•To maintain good sound quality, use a soft cloth to clean the plugs of the headphones/ earphones and remote control. A dirty plug may cause noise or intermittent breaks in the sound during playback.

•Clean the terminals periodically with a cotton swab or a soft cloth as illustrated.
