The following is a quick overview of how you listen to music on your ATRAC CD.
Install SonicStage on your computer.
SonicStage is software that takes music downloaded
from audio CDs and the Internet on your computer and
creates original CDs. It can be installed from the
supplied CD-ROM.
Create an ATRAC CD.

ATRAC3 (Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding3) is audio compression technology
that satisfies the demand for high sound quality and high compression rates.
ATRAC3plus is audio compression technology developed from the ATRAC3 format
and can compress audio files to about 1/20 of their original size at 64kbps.
You can create an ATRAC CD using SonicStage.
MP3 CDs:
CD-R/CD-RW on which audio data compressed in the MP3 format
has been recorded*
MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer3) is audio compression technology that can compress
audio files to about 1/10 of their original size.
CD-R/CD-RW on which mixed audio data compressed in the ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3, or MP3
formats has been recorded by using an software other than SonicStage can also be played.

The structure of ATRAC CDs/MP3 CDs
ATRAC CDs/MP3 CDs consist of “files” and “groups.” A
“file” is equivalent to a “track” of an audio CD. A “group”
is a bundle of files and is equivalent to an “album.”
For MP3 CDs, this CD player recognizes an MP3 folder as
a “group” so that ATRAC CDs and MP3 CDs can be
operated in the same way.
Notes
• If ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3
files and MP3 files are
recorded on the same CD,
this CD player plays the
ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3
only.
• The playback capability of
this CD player may vary
depending on the quality of
the disc and the condition of
the recording device.
• Characters that can be
displayed on this CD player
are listed below.
Playing order of ATRAC CDs and MP3 CDs
For ATRAC CDs, files are played in the order selected in
SonicStage.
For MP3 CDs, the playing order may differ depending on
the method used to record MP3 files on the disc. In the
following example, files are played in order of 1 to 7.

Notes on ATRAC CDs
• Maximum number of groups: 255
Maximum number of files: 999
• CD-Rs/CD-RWs recorded in the ATRAC3plus/ATRAC3 format
cannot be played on your computer.
Notes on MP3 CDs
• Maximum number of groups: 100
Maximum number of files: 400
Maximum directory level: 8
• A group that does not include an MP3 file is skipped.
• Be sure to add the file extension “mp3” to the file name.
However, if you add the file extension “mp3” to a file other than
an MP3 file, the player will not be able to recognize the file
properly.
• This player can play bit rates of 16 to 320 kbps, and sampling
frequencies of 32/44.1/ 48 kHz. Variable Bit Rate (VBR) file
can also be played.
• To compress a source in an MP3 file, we recommend setting the
compression parameters to “44.1 kHz,” “128 kbps,” and
“Constant Bit Rate.”
• To record up to the maximum capacity, set the writing software
to “halting of writing.”
• To record to the maximum capacity at one time up on media that
has nothing recorded on it, set the writing software to “Disc at
Once.”

Additional Information
• 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.
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.
• Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g.,
heart, square, star) cannot be played on
this player. Attempting to do so may
damage the player. Do not use such discs.
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 lens 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.
On power sources
• 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.
• Unplug the player from the wall outlet
when it is not to be used for an extended
period of time.
• The nameplate indicating operating
voltage, power consumption, etc. is
located at the rear.
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.

Precautions (continued)
Notes on cassettes
• Break off the cassette tab from side A or B
to prevent accidental recording. If you
want to reuse the tape for recording, cover
the broken tab with adhesive tape.
Notes on CDs
• Before playing, clean the CD with a
cleaning cloth. Wipe the CD from the
center out.
Side A
Tab for side A
Tab for side B
• We do not recommend the use of tape
longer than 90 minutes. They are very thin
and tend to be stretched easily. This may
cause malfunction of the unit or sound
deterioration.
• Do not use solvents such as benzine,
thinner, commercially available cleaners
or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.
• Do not expose the CD 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 a considerable rise in
temperature inside the car.
If you have any questions or problems
concerning your player, please consult your
nearest Sony dealer.
• Do not stick paper or sticker on the CD,
nor scratch the surface of the CD.
• After playing, store the CD in its case.
If there is a scratch, dirt or fingerprints on
the CD, it may cause tracking error.

• Move closer to the player when using the
remote.
The tape does not erase completely.

please consult your nearest Sony dealer. In that
case, be sure to bring the left speaker which
contains the power section along with the main
unit (CMT-A70).

Demagnetizing the tape heads
After 20 to 30 hours of use, enough residual
magnetism will have built up on the tape
heads to begin to cause loss of high
frequency sound and hiss. At this time, you
should demagnetize the heads and all metal
parts in the tape path with a commercially
available tape head demagnetizer.
Maintenance
Cleaning the tape heads and
tape path
Wipe the heads, the pinch rollers and the
capstans with a cleaning swab slightly
moistened with cleaning fluid or alcohol
after every 10 hours of operation for
optimum playback and recording quality. To
make the best possible recording, however,
we recommend that you clean all surfaces
over which tape travels before each
recording.
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.
