A dirty or defective disc may cause sound
dropouts while playing. To enjoy optimum
sound, handle the disc by its edge. To keep the
disc clean, do not touch the surface.

Do not stick paper or tape on the labeled
surface.

Do not expose the discs to direct sunlight or heat
sources such as hot air-ducts, or leave them in a
car parked in direct sunlight where there can be
a considerable rise in temperature inside the car.

Before playing, clean the discs with a
commercially available cleaning cloth. Wipe
each disc from the center out.
Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,
commercially available cleaners, or antistatic
spray intended for analog discs.

If you use the discs explained below, the sticky
residue can cause the CD to stop spinning and
may cause malfunction or ruin your discs.

Do not use second-hand or rental CDs that have
a sticky residue on the surface (for example from
peeled-off stickers or from ink, or glue leaking
from under the stickers.

Do not use rental CDs with old labels that are
beginning to peel off.

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.

Use the optional Sony compact disc single
adapter (CSA-8) to protect the CD player from
damage.

On a rainy day or in a very damp area, moisture
may condense on the lenses inside the CD
player. Should this occur, the unit will not
operate properly. In this case, remove the disc
and wait for about an hour until the moisture
evaporates.

When replacing the fuse, be sure to use one
matching the amperage rating stated on the
original fuse. If the fuse blows, check the power
connection and replace the fuse. If the fuse
blows again after replacement, there may be an
internal malfunction. In such a case, consult
your nearest Sony dealer.

Warning
Never use a fuse with an amperage rating
exceeding the one supplied with the unit as this
could damage the unit.
