Additional Information

Precautions

• If your car has been parked in direct sunlight,

allow the unit to cool off before operating it.

• Power antenna (aerial) will extend automatically

while the unit is operating.

Moisture condensation

On a rainy day or in a very damp area, moisture

condensation may occur inside the lenses and

display of the unit. Should this occur, the unit will

not operate properly. In such a case, remove the disc

and wait for about an hour until the moisture has

evaporated.

To maintain high sound quality

Be careful not to splash juice or other soft drinks

onto the unit or discs.

Notes on discs

• To keep a disc clean, do not touch its surface.

Handle the disc by its edge.

• Keep your discs in their cases or disc magazines

when not in use.

• Do not subject discs to heat/high temperature.

Avoid leaving them in a parked car or on a

dashboard/rear tray.

• Do not attach labels, or use discs with sticky ink/

residue. Such discs may stop spinning when used,

causing a malfunction, or may ruin the disc.

• Do not use any discs with labels or stickers

attached.

The following malfunctions may result from using

such discs:

– Inability to eject a disc (due to a label or sticker

peeling off and jamming the eject mechanism).

– Inability to read audio data correctly (e.g.,

playback skipping, or no playback) due to heat

shrinking of a sticker or label causing a disc to

warp.

• Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart,

square, star) cannot be played on this unit.

Attempting to do so may damage the unit. Do not

use such discs.

• You cannot play 8 cm (3

/4 in) CDs.

• Before playing, clean the discs

with a commercially available

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.

Notes on CD-R/CD-RW discs

• Some CD-Rs/CD-RWs (depending on the

equipment used for its recording or the condition

of the disc) may not play on this unit.

• You cannot play a CD-R/a CD-RW that is not

finalized.

Music discs encoded with copyright

protection technologies

This product is designed to play back discs that

conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard.

Recently, various music discs encoded with

some record companies. Please be aware that among

those discs, there are some that do not conform to

the CD standard and may not be playable by this

product.

Note on DualDiscs

A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which

mates DVD recorded material on one side with

digital audio material on the other side. However,

since the audio material side does not conform to

the Compact Disc (CD) standard, playback on this

product is not guaranteed.

About MP3/WMA files

MP3, which stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3, is a

music file compression format standard. It

compresses audio CD data to approximately 1/10 of

its original size.

WMA, which stands for Windows Media Audio, is

another music file compression format standard. It

compresses audio CD data to approximately 1/22*

of its original size.

* only for 64 kbps

• The unit is compatible with the ISO 9660 level 1/

level 2 format, Joliet/Romeo in the expansion

format, and Multi Session.

• The maximum number of:

– folders (albums): 150 (including root and empty

folders).

– MP3/WMA files (tracks) and folders contained

in a disc: 300 (if a folder/file names contain

many characters, this number may become less

than 300).

– displayable characters for a folder/file name is

32 (Joliet), or 64 (Romeo).

• ID3 tag versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 apply to

MP3 only. ID3 tag is 15/30 characters (1.0 and

1.1), or 63/126 characters (2.2, 2.3 and 2.4).

WMA tag is 63 characters.

Playback order of MP3/WMA files

Notes

• When naming an MP3 file/WMA file, be sure to add

the file extension “.mp3”/“.wma” to the file name.

• During playback of a VBR (variable bit rate) MP3/

WMA file or fast-forward/reverse, elapsed playing

time may not display accurately.

• When the disc is recorded in Multi Session, only the

first track of the first session format is recognized

and played (any other format is skipped). The

priority of the format is CD-DA and MP3/WMA.

– When the first track is a CD-DA, only CD-DA of the

first session is played.

– When the first track is not a CD-DA, an MP3/WMA

session is played. If the disc has no data in any of

these formats, “NO MUSIC” is displayed.

Notes on MP3

• Be sure to finalize the disc before using on the unit.

• If you play a high-bit-rate MP3, such as 320 kbps,

sound may be intermittent.

Notes on WMA

• Files made with lossless compression are not

playable.

• Files protected by copyright are not playable.

If you have any questions or problems concerning

your unit that are not covered in this manual, consult

your nearest Sony dealer.

Maintenance

Replacing the lithium battery of the

card remote commander

Under normal conditions, the battery will last

approximately 1 year. (The service life may be

shorter, depending on the conditions of use.)

When the battery becomes weak, the range of the

card remote commander becomes shorter.

Replace the battery with a new CR2025 lithium

battery. Use of any other battery may present a

risk of fire or explosion.

Notes on the lithium battery

• Keep the lithium battery out of the reach of children.

Should the battery be swallowed, immediately

consult a doctor.

• Wipe the battery with a dry cloth to assure a good

contact.

• Be sure to observe the correct polarity when

installing the battery.

• Do not hold the battery with metallic tweezers,

otherwise a short-circuit may occur.

Fuse replacement

When replacing the fuse, be

sure to use one matching the

amperage rating stated on the
