Precautions

•If your car was parked in direct sunlight,

allow the unit to cool off before operating it.

•Power aerials will extend automatically

while the unit is operating.

If you have any questions or problems

concerning your unit that are not covered in

this manual, please consult your nearest Sony

dealer.

Moisture condensation

On a rainy day or in a very damp area,

moisture condensation may occur inside the

lenses and display of the unit. Should this

occur, the unit will not operate properly. In

such a case, remove the disc and wait for about

an hour until the moisture has evaporated.

To maintain high sound quality

Be careful not to splash juice or other soft

drinks onto the unit or discs.

Notes on discs

•To keep the disc clean, do not touch the

surface. Handle the disc by its edge.

•Keep your discs in their cases or disc

magazines when not in use. Do not subject

the discs to heat/high temperature. Avoid

leaving them in parked cars or on

dashboards/rear trays.

•Do not attach labels, or use discs with sticky

ink/residue. Such discs may stop spinning

when used, causing a malfunction, or may

ruin the disc.

•Do not use any discs with labels or stickers

attached.

The following malfunctions may result from

using such discs:

— Inability to eject a disc (due to a label or

sticker peeling off and jamming the eject

mechanism).

— Inability to read audio data correctly (e.g.,

playback skipping, or no playback) due to

heat shrinking of a sticker or label causing

a disc to warp.

•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.

•You cannot play 8cm CDs.

7

Getting Started

Resetting the unit

Before operating the unit for the first time or

after replacing the car battery, you must reset

the unit.

Remove the front panel and press the RESET

button with a pointed object, such as a

ballpoint pen.

Note

Pressing the RESET button will erase the clock

setting and some stored contents.

RESET button

•Before playing, clean the discs with a

commercially available cleaning cloth. Wipe

each disc from the centre out. Do not use

solvents such as benzine, thinner,

commercially available cleaners, or antistatic

spray intended for analog discs.

Notes on CD-R/CD-RW discs

•You can play CD-Rs (recordable CDs)/CD-

RWs (rewritable CDs) designed for audio use

on this unit.

Look for these marks to distinguish CD-Rs/

CD-RWs for audio use.

These marks denote that a disc is not for

audio use.

•Some CD-Rs/CD-RWs (depending on the

equipment used for its recording or the

condition of the disc) may not play on this

unit.

•You cannot play a CD-R/CD-RW that is not

finalized*.

* A process necessary for a recorded CD-R/CD-RW

disc to be played on the audio CD player.
