A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which mates DVD 
recorded material on one side with digital audio material on 
the other side. However, since the audio material side does not 
conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard, playback on this 
product is not guaranteed.

This product is designed to playback discs that conform to the 
Compact Disc (CD) standard. Recently, various music discs 
encoded with copyright protection technologies are marketed 
by some record companies. Please be aware that among those 
discs, there are some that do not conform to the CD standard 
and may not be playable by this product.

The use of optical instruments with this product will increase 
eye hazard.
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures 
other than those specified herein may result in hazardous 
radiation exposure.

This symbol is intended to alert the user 
to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous 
voltage” within the product’s enclosure that 
may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute 
a risk of electric shock to persons.

This symbol is intended to alert the user 
to the presence of important operating and 
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the 
literature accompanying the appliance.

The graphical symbols are at the bottom of the unit.

Precautions

Discs that this unit CAN play
• Audio CD
• CD-R/CD-RW (CD-DA*)
* CD-DA is the abbreviation for Compact Disc Digital Audio. It is a 

recording standard used for Audio CDs.

Discs that this unit CANNOT play
• CD-R/CD-RW other than those recorded in music CD format
• CD-R/CD-RW of poor recording quality, CD-R/CD-RW that 

has scratches or are dirty, or CD-R/CD-RW recorded with an 
incompatible recording device

• CD-R/CD-RW which is finalized incorrectly

Notes on discs
• Before playing, clean the CD with a 

cleaning cloth. Wipe the CD from the 
center out. If there is a scratch, dirt or 
fingerprints on the CD, it may cause 
tracking error. 

• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially 

available cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.

• Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot 

air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight as there can 
be a considerable rise in temperature inside the car.

• Do not stick paper or sticker on the CD, nor scratch the surface of 

the CD.

• After playing, store the CD in its case.

On safety
• As the laser beam used in the CD player section is harmful to the 

eyes, do not attempt to disassemble the casing. Refer servicing to 
qualified personnel only.

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the player, unplug the 

player, and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating 
it any further.

• Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square, star) cannot be 

played on this player. Attempting to do so may damage the player. 
Do not use such discs.

On power sources
• For AC operation, use the supplied AC power cord; do not use any 

other type. 

• The player is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) 

as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the player itself 
has been turned off.

• Unplug the player from the wall outlet when it is not to be used for 

an extended period of time.

• When the batteries are not to be used, remove them to avoid 

damage that can be caused by battery leakage or corrosion.

• The nameplate indicating operating voltage, power consumption, 

etc., is located at the bottom.

On placement
• Do not leave the player in a location near heat sources, in a place 

subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical shock or in 
a car subject to the direct rays of the sun.

• Do not place the player on an inclined or unstable place.
• Do not place anything within 10 mm of the side of the cabinet. The 

ventilation holes must be unobstructed for the player to operate 
properly and prolong the life of its components.

• Since a strong magnet is used for the speakers, keep personal credit 

cards using magnetic coding or spring-wound watches away from 
the player to prevent possible damage from the magnet.

On operation
• If the player 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 CD player section. Should this occur, the player will not 
operate properly. In this case, remove the CD and wait about an 
hour for the moisture to evaporate.

Cleaning the cabinet
• Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth slightly 

moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of 
abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent, such as alcohol or benzine.

If you have any questions or problems concerning your player, please 
consult your nearest Sony dealer.
