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.

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.

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).
