* Warning when installing in a car without

an ACC (accessory) position on the

ignition switch

After turning off the ignition, be sure to press

and hold (OFF) on the unit until the display

disappears.

Otherwise, the display does not turn off and

this causes battery drain.

Precautions

• If your car has been parked in direct sunlight,

allow the unit to cool off before operating it.

• Power aerials will extend automatically while

the unit is operating.

Caution

While driving, do not use the CUSTOM FILE

feature or any other functions which may divert

your attention from the road.

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.

• 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 analogue 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/a 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.

RDS

Overview of RDS

FM stations with Radio Data System (RDS)

service send inaudible digital information along

with the regular radio programme signal. For

example, one of the following will be displayed

upon receiving a station with RDS capability.

* See “Tuning in stations by programme type” on page

18.

RDS services

RDS data offers you other conveniences, such as:

• Automatic retuning of a programme, helpful

during long-distance drives. — AF t page 16

• Receiving traffic announcements, even

when enjoying another programme/source.

— TA t page 17

• Selecting stations by the type of

programme. — PTY t page 18

• Automatic clock time setting. — CT

t page 19

Notes

• Depending on the country or region, not all of the

RDS functions are available.

• RDS may not work properly if the signal strength is

weak or if the station you are tuned to is not

transmitting RDS data.

Automatic retuning for best

reception results

— AF function

The alternative frequencies (AF) function allows

the radio to always tune into the area’s strongest

signal for the station you are listening to.

1 Select an FM station (page 13).

2 Press (AF) repeatedly until “AF on”

appears.

The unit starts searching for an alternative

frequency with a stronger signal in the same

network.

If “NO AF” flashes, the currently tuned into

station does not have an alternative frequency.

Note

When there is no alternative frequency in the area or

when you do not need to search for one, turn the AF

function off by selecting “AF

off.”

For stations without alternative

frequencies

Press (SEEK) (<) or (SEEK) (,)

while the station name is flashing

(within 8 seconds).

The unit starts searching for another

frequency with the same PI (Programme

Identification) data (“PI Seek” appears).

If the unit cannot find the same PI, the unit

returns to the previously selected frequency.

Staying with one regional programme

When AF function is on: this unit’s factory-set

setting restricts reception to a specific region, so

you won’t be switched to another regional station

with a stronger frequency.

If you leave this regional programme’s reception

area or would like to take advantage of the whole

AF function, select “Regional off” from the

Menu (page 22).

Note

This function does not work in the United Kingdom

and in some other areas.

Local Link function

Receiving traffic

announcements

— TA/TP

By activating the Traffic Announcement (TA)

and Traffic Programme (TP), you can

automatically tune in an FM station broadcasting

traffic announcements. These settings function

regardless of the current FM programme/source

(e.g., CD/MD/AUX). The unit switches back to

the original source when the bulletin is over.

Press (TA) repeatedly until “TA

on”

appears.

The unit starts searching for traffic

information stations.

“TP” indicates reception of such stations, and

“TA” flashes during an actual traffic

announcement. The unit will continue

searching for stations available with TP if

“NO TP” is indicated.

To cancel all traffic announcements, select

“TA

off.”

Tip

You can also cancel the current announcement by

pressing (SOURCE) or (MODE).

Presetting RDS stations with

AF and TA setting

When you preset RDS stations, the unit stores

each station’s AF/TA setting (on/off) as well as

its frequency. You can select a different setting

(for AF, TA, or both) for individual preset

stations, or the same setting for all preset

stations. If you preset stations with “AF on,” the

unit automatically stores stations with the

strongest radio signal.

preset stations
