Precautions  
Notes on CDs  
On safety  
On handling CDs  
Caution The use of optical instruments with this product  
To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its edge. Do not  
will increase eye hazard.  
touch the surface.  
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet,  
unplug the player and have it checked by qualified  
personnel before operating it any further.  
Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.  
On power sources  
Before operating the player, check that the operating  
voltage of the player is identical with your local power  
supply. The operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate  
at the rear of the player.  
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.  
If you are not going to use the player for a long time, be  
sure to disconnect the player from the wall outlet. To  
disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead), grasp the plug  
itself; never pull the cord.  
Do not expose the disc 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 considerable rise in temperature  
inside the car.  
Do not use any commercially available stabilizer. If you do,  
the disc and the player may be damaged.  
After playing, store the disc in its case.  
On cleaning  
AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified  
service shop.  
Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe  
the disc from the center out.  
On placement  
Place the player in a location with adequate ventilation to  
prevent heat build-up in the player.  
Do not place the player on a soft surface such as a rug that  
might block the ventilation holes on the bottom.  
Do not place the player in a location near heat sources, or in  
a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or  
mechanical shock.  
Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially  
available cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl  
LPs.  
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 player. Should this occur,  
the player may not operate properly. In this case, remove  
the disc and leave the player turned on for about an hour  
until the moisture evaporates.  
On adjusting volume  
Do not turn up the volume while listening to a portion with  
very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you do, the  
speakers may be damaged when a peak level portion is  
played.  
On cleaning  
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  
player, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
