Notes on DualDiscs

A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which mates DVD

recorded material on one side with digital audio material on

the other side. However, since the audio material side does not

conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard, playback on this

product is not guaranteed.

Music discs encoded with copyright

protection technologies

This product is designed to playback discs that conform to the

Compact Disc (CD) standard. Recently, various music discs

encoded with copyright protection technologies are marketed

by some record companies. Please be aware that among those

discs, there are some that do not conform to the CD standard

and may not be playable by this product.

Precautions

Discs that this unit CAN play

• Audio CD

• CD-R/CD-RW (CD-DA*)

* CD-DA is the abbreviation for Compact Disc Digital Audio. It is a

recording standard used for Audio CDs.

Discs that this unit CANNOT play

• CD-R/CD-RW other than those recorded in music CD format

• 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 errors.

• 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 stickers 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 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, use the supplied AC power cord; do not use any

other type.

• 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.

• Unplug the player from the wall outlet when it is not to be 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 and important information concerning safety are

located on the bottom exterior.

On placement

• Do not leave the player 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 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.

• 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.

Cleaning the cabinet

• Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth 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 player, please

consult your nearest Sony dealer.
