format or MP3 format conforming to ISO9660 Level
1/Level 2 or Joliet
 CD-R/CD-RW of poor recording quality, CD-R/CD-RW
that has scratches or are dirty, or CD-R/CD-RW recorded
with an incompatible recording device
 CD-R/CD-RW which is finalized incorrectly
Notes on discs
 Before playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth.
Wipe the CD from the center out. If there is a scratch,
dirt or fingerprints on the CD, it may cause tracking
error.
 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.
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 unit,
unplug the unit, 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 unit. Attempting to do so
may damage the unit. Do not use such discs.
On power sources
 For AC operation, use the supplied AC power cord; do
not use any other type.
 The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source
(mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet,
even if the unit itself has been turned off.
 Unplug the unit from the wall outlet when it is not used
for an extended period of time.
 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 unit in a location near heat sources,
in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or
mechanical shock or in a car subject to the direct rays
of the sun.
 Do not place the unit 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 unit to operate properly and prolong the life of its
components.
 Since a strong magnet is used for the speakers, keep
personal credit cards using magnetic coding or spring-
wound watches away from the unit to prevent possible
damage from the magnet.
On operation
 If the unit 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 unit will not operate properly. In
this case, remove the CD and wait about an hour for the
moisture to evaporate.
 If the unit 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.
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
 The use of a cassette with more than 90 minutes of play
time is not recommended except for long, continuous
recording or playback.
Cleaning the cabinet

slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do
not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or
solvent, such as alcohol or benzine.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your
unit, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
