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 8 cm CDs.
7
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-Rs (recordable CDs)/
CD-RWs (rewritable CDs)
This unit can play the following discs:
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*.
You can play MP3 files recorded on CD-
ROMs, CD-Rs, and CD-RWs.
A CD-R/CD-RW to which a session can be
added can be played.
* A process necessary for a recorded CD-R/CD-RW
disc to be played on the audio CD player.

MP3 files
Type of discs Label on the disc
About MP3 files
MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3) is a standard
technology and format for compressing a
sound sequence. The file is compressed to
about 1/10 of its original size. Sounds outside
the range of human hearing are compressed
while the sounds we can hear are not
compressed.
Notes on discs
You can play MP3 files recorded on CD-ROMs,
CD-Rs, and CD-RWs.
The disc must be in the ISO 9660*
1
level 1 or
level 2 format, or Joliet or Romeo in the
expansion format.
You can use a disc recorded in Multi Session*
2
.
*
1
ISO 9660 Format
The most common international standard
for the logical format of files and folders on
a CD-ROM.
There are several specification levels. In
Level 1, file names must be in the 8.3 format
(no more than 8 characters in the name, no
more than 3 characters in the extension
“.MP3”) and in capital letters. Folder names
can be no longer than 8 characters. There can
be no more than 8 nested folder levels. Level
2 specifications allow file names up to 31
characters long.
Each folder can have up to 8 trees.
For Joliet or Romeo in the expansion format,
make sure of the contents of the writing
software, etc.
*
2
Multi Session
This is a recording method that enables
adding of data using the Track-At-Once
method. Conventional CDs begin at a CD
control area called the Lead-in and end at an
area called Lead-out. A Multi Session CD is
a CD having multiple sessions, with each
segment from Lead-in to Lead-out regarded
as a single session.
CD-Extra: The format which records audio
(audio CD data) as tracks on session 1, and
records data as tracks on session 2.
Mixed CD: In this format, data is recorded
as track 1, and audio (audio CD data) is
recorded as track 2.

Notes
• With formats other than ISO 9660 level 1 and
level 2, folder names or file names may not be
displayed correctly.
• When naming, be sure to add the file extension
“.MP3” to the file name.
• If you put the extension “.MP3” to a file other
than MP3, the unit cannot recognize the file
properly and will generate random noise that
could damage your speakers.
• The following discs take a longer time to start
playback.
a disc recorded with complicated tree
structure.
a disc recorded in Multi Session.
a disc to which data can be added.
• If you can play a high-bit rate MP3 file such as
320 kbps, sound may be intermittent.
Cautions when playing a disc that is recorded in
Multi Session
• When the first track of the first session is audio
CD data:
Only audio CD data is played back.
Non-audio CD data/MP3 file information (track
number, time, etc.) is displayed with no sound.
• When the first track of the first session is not
audio CD data:
If an MP3 file is in the disc, only MP3 file(s)
play back and other data is skipped. (Audio CD
data is not recognized.)
If no MP3 file is in the disc, “NO MUSIC” is
displayed and nothing is played back. (Audio
CD data is not recognized.)

The playback order of the MP3 files
The playback order of the folders and files is as
follows:
Tree 1 Tree 2 Tree 3 Tree 4 Tree 5
(root)
Notes
• A folder that does not include an MP3 file is
skipped.
• When you insert a disc with many trees, it takes a
longer time to start playback.
We recommend that you make only one or two
trees for each disc.
• Maximum folder number: 150 (including root
folder and empty folders)
• The maximum number of MP3 files and folders
that can be contained in a disc: 302
When a file/folder name contains many
characters, this number may become less than
302.
• The maximum number of trees which can be
played is 8.
Tip
To specify a desired playback order, before the
folder or file name, input the order by number
(e.g., “01,” “02”), then record contents onto a disc.
(The order differs depending on the writing
software.)
