Precautions
Discs that this system CAN play
• Audio CD
• CD-R/CD-RW (audio data of CD-DA tracks
and MP3/WMA files)
• 8 cm disc
Do not use a CD-R/CD-RW disc with no data
stored. Doing so may damage the disc.
Discs that this system CANNOT play
• CD-ROM
• CD-R/CD-RW other than those recorded in
music CD format, conforming to ISO9660
Level 1/Level 2 or Joliet
• CD-R/CD-RW recorded in multisession that
have not ended by "closing the session"
• CD-R/CD-RW of poor recording quality,
CD-R/CD-RW that have scratches or are
dirty, or CD-R/CD-RW recorded with an
incompatible recording device
• CD-R/CD-RW which is finalized incorrectly
• Discs containing files other than MPEG 1
Audio Layer-3 (MP3)/WMA files
• Discs of non-standard shape (for example,
heart, square, star)
• Discs that have adhesive tape, paper, or
sticker attached to them
• Rental or used discs with attached seals
where the glue extends beyond the seal
• Discs that have labels printed using ink
that feels tacky when touched
Note on CD-DA/MP3/WMA discs
• Before playing, wipe the disc with a
cleaning cloth from the center out to the
edge.
• Do not clean discs with solvents, such as
benzine, thinner, or commercially available
cleaners or antistatic spray intended for
vinyl LPs.
• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight
or heat sources such as hot air ducts,
nor leave them in a car parked in direct
sunlight.
On safety
• Completely disconnect the power cord
(mains lead) from the wall outlet (mains) if
it is not going to be used for an extended
period of time. When unplugging the
system, always grip the plug. Never pull
the cord itself.
• Should any solid object or liquid get into
the system, unplug the system, and have
it checked by qualified personnel before
operating it again.
• The AC power cord can be changed only
by a qualified service facility.
On placement
• Do not place the system in an inclined
position or in locations that are extremely
hot, cold, dusty, dirty, or humid or lacking
adequate ventilation, or subject to
vibration, direct sunlight or a bright light.
• Do not place the system near lighting
fixtures. The heat from the lighting may
deform the enclosure and cause the
system to malfunction.
• Be careful when placing the system on
surfaces that have been specially treated
(for example, with wax, oil, polish) as
staining or discoloration of the surface
may result.
• Do not place heavy objects on the system.
• If the system 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 system, and
cause the system to malfunction. In this
situation, remove the disc, and leave the
system turned on for about an hour until
the moisture evaporates. If the system still
does not operate, even after an extended
period, consult your nearest Sony dealer.
On heat buildup
• Heat buildup on the unit during charging
or operation over a long period of time is
normal and not cause for alarm.
• Do not touch the cabinet if it has been
used continuously at a high volume
because the cabinet may have become
hot.
• Do not obstruct the ventilation holes.
