Unpacking
Check that you received the following items:
• Audio connecting cord (1)
• Remote commander (remote) (1)
• Sony SUM-3 (NS) batteries (2)
• Stabilizer (1)
Inserting batteries into the remote
You can control the player using the supplied remote.
Insert two size AA (R6) batteries by matching the +
and – on the batteries. When using the remote, point it
at the remote sensor g on the player.
Hooking Up the System
Overview
This section describes how to hook up the CD player to
an amplifier. Be sure to turn off the power of each
component before making the connections.
When to replace batteries
With normal use, the batteries should last for about six
months. When the remote no longer operates the player,
replace all the batteries with new ones.
Notes
• Do not leave the remote near an extremely hot or humid
place.
• Do not drop any foreign object into the remote casing,
particularly when replacing the batteries.
• Do not expose the remote sensor to direct sunlight or
lighting apparatuses. Doing so may cause a malfunction.
• If you don’t use the remote for an extended period of time,
remove the batteries to avoid possible damage from battery
leakage and corrosion.
Hookups
p When making analog hookups
When connecting an audio cord, be sure to match the
color-coded cord to the appropriate jacks on the
components: Red (right) to Red and White (left) to
White. Be sure to make connections firmly to avoid
hum and noise.

Note
When you connect via the DIGITAL OUT connector, noise
may occur when you play CD software other than music, such
as a CD-ROM.
Note
You cannot adjust the output level by pressing the LINE
OUT LEVEL buttons on the remote when using the UK
model.
p When making digital hookups
You can avoid deterioration of the signal during
transmission, since the music signal output through
the digital output connectors retains digital form.
You can connect a digital component such as a
digital amplifier, D/A converter, DAT or MD. When
you connect a DAT or MD, you can make digital
recordings from CDs.
Note that you cannot use fading in or out function
(page 15) when making this connection.
• If you have a digital component with an optical digital
input connector
Connect the component via the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL)
connector using the optical cable (not supplied). Take off
the cap and plug in the optical cable.
Setting the voltage selector (voltage
selector equipped models only)
Check that the voltage selector on the rear panel of the
player is set to the local power line voltage. If not, set
the selector to the correct position using a screwdriver
before connecting the AC power cord to a wall outlet.
Connecting the AC power cord
Connect the AC power cord to a wall outlet.

Additional Information
On inserting a disc
• You may hear a whistling sound from the player. This
indicates that the player is automatically adjusting its
internal mechanisms according to the inserted disc.
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.
On transportation
• Be sure to remove the CD and the stabilizer.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your
player, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
Notes on CDs
On handling CDs
• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its edge. Do not
touch the surface.
• Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.
Not this way
• 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 and/or
disc protector. If you do, the disc and the player may be
damaged.
• After playing, store the disc in its case.
On cleaning
• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe
the disc from the centre out.
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,
commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray
intended for vinyl LPs.
Precautions
On safety
• Caution — The use of optical instruments with this product
will increase eye hazard.
• 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.
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.
• AC power cord (mains lead) must be changed only at the
qualified service shop.
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.
On avoiding deterioration of sound quality
• Do not touch the lens inside.
On using the stabilizer
• Be sure to use the supplied stabilizer. If you use any other
stabilizer, you may damage the player.
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.
