Fu se re p la ce m e n t

When replacing the fuse, be sure to use one

that matches the amperage described on the

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.

Before playing, clean the discs with an optional

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.

Fuse (10 A)

Wa rn in g

Never use a fuse with an amperage rating

exceeding the one supplied with the unit as

this could damage the unit.

Cle a n in g t h e co n n e ct o rs
