©2008 Sony Corporation          Printed in China

Do not expose the batteries (battery pack or batteries 

installed) to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the 

like for a long time.
As the main plug is used to disconnect the unit from 

the mains, connect the unit to an easily accessible AC 

outlet. Should you notice an abnormality in the unit, 

disconnect the main plug from the AC outlet 

immediately.
The unit 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.
Do not install the appliance in a confined space, such 

as a bookcase or built-in cabinet.

You are cautioned that any changes or 

modifications not expressly approved in this 

manual could void your authority to operate this 

equipment.

This symbol is intended to alert the user to 

the presence of important operating and 

maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
