IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Power Source — This appliance should be
operated only from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If you are not
sure of the type of electrical power supplied
to your home, consult your dealer or local
power company. For those appliances
designed to operate from battery power, or
other sources, refer to the operating
instructions.
For your protection, please read these safety
instructions completely before operating the
appliance, and keep this manual for future
reference.
Carefully observe all warnings, precautions
and instructions on the appliance and in the
operating instructions, and adhere to them.
INSTALLATION
Water and Moisture — Do not use powerline
operated appliances near water—for
example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen
sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or
near a swimming pool, etc.
Grounding or Polarization — This appliance
is equipped with a polarized AC power cord
plug (a plug having one blade wider than the
other), or with a three-wire grounding type
plug (a plug having a third pin for grounding).
Follow the instructions below:
Heat — Do not place the appliance near or
over a radiator or heat register, or where it is
exposed to direct sunlight.
•
For the appliance with a polarized AC power
cord plug:
This plug will fit into the power outlet only
one way. This is a safety feature. If you are
unable to insert the plug fully into the
outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug
should still fail to fit, contact your
electrician to have a suitable outlet
installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose
of the polarized plug by forcing it in.
Ventilation — The slots and openings in the
cabinet are provided for necessary
ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of
the appliance, and to protect it from
overheating, these slots and openings must
never be blocked or covered.
— Never cover the slots and openings with a
cloth or other materials.
•
For the appliance with a three-wire grounding
type AC plug:
— Never block the slots and openings by
placing the appliance on a bed, sofa, rug, or
other similar surface.
This plug will only fit into a grounding-type
power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you
are unable to insert the plug into the outlet,
contact your electrician to have a suitable
outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the grounding plug.
— Never place the appliance in a confined
space, such as a bookcase or built-in
cabinet, unless proper ventilation is
provided.
Accessories — Do not place the appliance
on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket,
or table. The appliance may fall, causing
serious injury to a child or an adult, and
serious damage to the appliance. Use only a
cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
recommended by Sony.
Overloading — Do not overload wall outlets,
extension cords, or convenience receptacles
beyond their capacity, since this can result in
fire or electric shock.
When not in use — Unplug the power cord
of the appliance from the outlet when left
unused for a long period of time.
To disconnect the cord, pull it out by
grasping the plug. Never pull the plug out by
the cord.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Power-Cord Protection — Route the power
cord so that it is not likely to be walked on
or pinched by items placed upon or against
them, paying particular attention to the
plugs, receptacles, and the point where the
cord exits from the appliance.
SERVICE
Damage Requiring Service — Unplug the
appliance from the wall outlet and refer
servicing to qualified service personnel under
the following conditions:
— When the power cord or plug is damaged or
frayed.
Lightning — For added protection for this
appliance during a lightning storm, or when
it is left unattended and unused for long
periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet
and disconnect the antenna or cable system.
This will prevent damage to the appliance
due to lightning and powerline surges.
— If liquid has been spilled or objects have
fallen into the appliance.
— If the appliance has been exposed to rain or
water.
— The appliance does not appear to operate
normally or exhibits a marked change in
performance. —This indicates a need for
service.
Attachments — Do not use attachments not
recommended by Sony, as they may cause
hazards.
— If the appliance does not operate normally
when following the operating instructions,
adjust only those controls that are specified
in the operating instructions. Improper
adjustment of other controls may result in
damage and will often require extensive
work by a qualified technician to restore the
appliance to normal operation.
Cleaning — Unplug the appliance from the
wall outlet before cleaning or polishing it. Do
not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
Use a cloth lightly dampened with water for
cleaning the exterior of the appliance. Clean
the appliance only as recommended by
Sony.
— If the appliance has been subject to
excessive shock by being dropped, or the
cabinet has been damaged.
Servicing — Do not attempt to service the
appliance yourself as opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing
to qualified service personnel.
Object and Liquid Entry — Never push
objects of any kind into the appliance
through openings as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short out parts
that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the
appliance.
Replacement Parts — When replacement
parts are required, be sure the service
technician has used replacement parts
specified by Sony that have the same
characteristics as the original parts.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, or other hazards.
Safety Check — Upon completion of any
service or repairs to the appliance, ask the
service technician to perform routine safety
checks (as specified by Sony) to determine
that the appliance is in safe operating
condition.

Power Mode
This setting determines battery use.
Normal
During playback, the operation lamp on the player and the
remote display always light up.
Power Save
During playback, the operation lamp on the player and the
remote display remain turned off. This leads to a longer
battery life.
The remote display lights up for only several seconds when
the DISPLAY button is pressed.
Quick
Quick response for the playback operation is given priority
over the battery life. When operating to start playback or go
to the beginning of a track, playback will start quickly.
Also during playback, the operation lamp on the player and
the remote display remain lit.
Because the battery is always used even when the player is
not operating, this leads to a shorter battery life. For this
reason, it is recommended that you charge the battery
frequently if you plan to use the “Quick” option.
Note
• If no player operation (including opening or closing
of the lid) occurs for about 17 hours when “Power
Mode” function is set to “Quick” mode, the
response when the player is next used may be slow.
The player, however, will return to “Quick” response
after it has been used again.

Do not use a dirty or scratched MD.
•
Noise is heard.
Move the player away from a television or other source of strong
magnetism which is causing interference.
