Precautions

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.

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.

On power sources

· For AC operation, check that the

player's operating voltage is

identical with your local power

supply (see "Specifications") and

use the supplied mains lead; do

not use any other type.

The voltage selector is located at

the bottom of the player (for

Brazilian model only).

· 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.

· For battery operation, use six R20

(size D) batteries.

· 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, or in a

place subject to direct sunlight,

excessive dust or mechanical

shock.

· 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.

· If the player is left in a car parked

in the sun, be sure to choose a

location in the car where the

player will not be subjected to the

direct rays of the sun.

· 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

lenses 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.

· If the player 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.

If you have any questions or

problems concerning your player,

please consult your nearest Sony

dealer.
