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 unit, unplug the 
unit, 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 unit. Attempting to do so may damage the unit. 
Do not use such discs.
On power sources
  For AC operation, use the supplied AC power cord; do not use any 
other type. 
  Unplug the unit from the wall outlet when it is not 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.
On placement
  Do not leave the unit 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 unit 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 unit 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 unit to prevent possible damage from the magnet.
On operation
  If the unit 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 unit will not 
operate properly. In this case, remove the CD and wait about an 
hour for the moisture to evaporate.
  If the unit has not been used for a long time, set it in the playback 
mode to warm it up for a few minutes before inserting a cassette.
Notes on cassettes
  Break off the cassette tab from 
side A or B to prevent accidental 
recording. If you want to reuse 
the tape for recording, cover the 
broken tab with adhesive tape.
Tab for side B
Side A
Tab for side A
  The use of a cassette with more than 90 minutes of play time 
is not recommended except for long, continuous recording or 
playback.
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 unit, please 
consult your nearest Sony dealer.
