WARNING
To prevent fire or shock
hazard, do not expose the unit
to rain or moisture.
To avoid electrical shock, do
not open the cabinet. Refer
servicing to qualified
personnel only.
The laser component in this product
is capable of emitting radiation
exceeding the limit for Class 1.
This appliance is classified as a CLASS 1
LASER product. The CLASS 1 LASER
PRODUCT MARKING is located on the
rear exterior.
The following caution label is located
inside of the unit.
• 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 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 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.
For the customers in Canada
CAUTION
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DO NOT USE THIS POLARIZED AC
PLUG WITH AN EXTENSION
CORD, RECEPTACLE OR OTHER

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.

AVERTISSEMENT
Pour prévenir tout risque
d’incendie ou d’électrocution,
gardez cet appareil à l’abri de
la pluie ou de l’humidité.
Pour prévenir tout risque
d’électrocution, abstenez-vous
d’ouvrir le boîtier. Confiez
l’entretien de votre lecteur
exclusivement à un personnel
qualifié.
Le composant laser de cet appareil est
capable d’émettre des radiations
dépassant la limite pour la Classe 1.
Cet appareil entre dans la catégorie des
produits LASER DE CLASSE 1.
L’ETIQUETTE INDIQUANT
L’APPARTENANCE DE CE LECTEUR
A LA CLASSE 1 est apposée à l’arrière
du boîtier.
L’étiquette de mise en garde qui suit est
apposée à l’intérieur de l’appareil.
Précautions
Sécurité
• Attention — L’utilisation
d’instruments optiques avec ce
produit augmente les risques de
blessures aux yeux.
• Si un objet ou un liquide quelconque
pénètre à l’intérieur du boîtier,
débranchez le lecteur et ne l’utilisez
plus avant de l’avoir fait contrôler par
un personnel qualifié.
Alimentation
• Avant d’utiliser le lecteur, assurez-
vous que la tension d’utilisation de
l’appareil est identique à celle de
l’alimentation secteur locale. La
tension d’utilisation est indiquée sur la
plaque signalétique fixée au dos du
lecteur.
• Le lecteur reste branché sur
l’alimentation secteur tant qu’il est
raccordé à la prise murale, même si
l’appareil a préalablement été mis hors
tension.
• Si vous prévoyez de ne pas utiliser le
lecteur pendant une période
prolongée, débranchez-le de la prise
murale. Pour déconnecter le cordon
d’alimentation, tirez sur la fiche; ne
tirez jamais sur le cordon proprement
dit.
• Le cordon d’alimentation peut
uniquement être remplacé par un
centre de service après-vente agréé.
Installation
• Installez le lecteur dans un lieu
suffisamment ventilé afin de prévenir
tout risque de surchauffe à l’intérieur
du boîtier.
• Ne pas installer le lecteur sur une
surface souple comme un tapis qui
risquerait d’obstruer les ouïes de
ventilation situées sur la base de
l’appareil.
• Ne pas installer le lecteur à proximité
de sources de chaleur ou dans un
endroit excessivement poussiéreux,
soumis à la lumière directe du soleil
ou à des vibrations ou des chocs
mécaniques importants.
Utilisation
• Si vous transportez soudainement le
lecteur d’une pièce froide dans une
pièce chaude ou si vous l’installez
dans une pièce particulièrement
humide, de la condensation peut se
former sur les lentilles montées à
l’intérieur du lecteur. Le
fonctionnement du lecteur risque d’en
être affecté. En pareil cas, retirez le
disque du plateau de lecture et laissez
le lecteur sous tension pendant
environ une heure pour permettre à
l’humidité de s’évaporer.
Réglage du volume
• N’augmentez pas le volume lorsque
vous écoutez un passage offrant un
niveau d’entrée très faible ou aucun
signal sonore. Vous risquez en effet
d’endommager les haut-parleurs lors
de la lecture d’un passage présentant
un niveau d’entrée très élevé.
Entretien
• Nettoyez le boîtier, la console et les
commandes à l’aide d’un chiffon doux
imprégné d’une solution détergente
neutre. N’utilisez pas de tampon
abrasif, de poudre à récurer ou de
solvant tel que l’alcool ou le benzène.
Si vous éprouvez la moindre
difficulté concernant votre lecteur,
n’hésitez pas à consulter votre
revendeur Sony.

Déballage
Assurez-vous que les accessoires suivants vous ont été
livrés:
• Câble de connexion audio (1)
• Télécommande (sauf sur le CDP-XE200) (1)
• Piles Sony SUM-3 (NS) (sauf sur le CDP-XE200) (2)
Introduisez les piles dans la télécommande
(sauf sur le CDP-XE200)
La télécommande fournie vous permet de commander
le lecteur à distance.
Introduisez deux piles R6 (AA) en faisant correspondre
les pôles + et – des piles. Lorsque vous utilisez la
télécommande, orientez-la vers le capteur de
télécommande g du lecteur.
Raccordement du système
Vue d’ensemble
Cette section décrit le raccordement du lecteur de
disques compacts à un amplificateur. Avant de réaliser
la connexion, n’oubliez pas de mettre hors tension
chacun des appareils concernés.

Raccordement
Lors du raccordement d’un câble audio, assurez-vous
que le code de couleur du câble correspond à celui des
prises appropriées sur les différents appareils
raccordés: rouge (droit) sur rouge et blanc (gauche) sur
blanc. Assurez-vous de la qualité des connexions afin
de prévenir les bruits de souffle et les parasites.

Préparation
Quand remplacer les piles
Dans des conditions d’utilisation normales, les piles
devraient durer environ six mois. Si la télécommande
n’agit plus sur le lecteur, remplacez simultanément les
deux piles.
Remarques
• N’abandonnez pas la télécommande à proximité d’une
source de chaleur importante ou d’un endroit humide.
• Ne laissez tomber aucun corps étranger dans le boîtier de la
télécommande en particulier lors du remplacement des
piles.
• N’exposez pas le capteur de télécommande à la lumière
directe du soleil ou d’un luminaire. Cela risque de
provoquer un dysfonctionnement.
• Si vous n’utilisez pas la télécommande pendant une
période prolongée, retirez les piles afin de prévenir tout
risque de détérioration engendrée par la corrosion ou une
fuite éventuelle des piles.

Préparation
Vous pouvez régler le niveau de sortie sur
l’amplificateur (CDP-XE500 et CDP-XE300
uniquement)
Appuyez sur la touche LINE OUT LEVEL +/– de la
télécommande. Vous pouvez réduire le niveau de sortie
jusqu’à –20 dB.
Lorsque vous baissez le niveau de sortie, l’indication
apparaît dans la fenêtre d’affichage.
Lorsque vous mettez le lecteur hors tension, le niveau de
sortie revient automatiquement au niveau maximal.
• Si vous disposez d’un appareil numérique comme un
amplificateur, un convertisseur N/A, une platine DAT ou
MD numériques (CDP-XE500 uniquement)
Raccordez le composant via le connecteur DIGITAL OUT
(OPTICAL) à l’aide du câble optique (non fourni). Retirez le
capuchon et branchez le câble optique.
Attention que, si vous établissez ce raccordement, vous ne
pouvez pas utiliser les fonctions suivantes :
• Fondu enchaîné d’entrée ou de sortie (voir page 13)
• Fondu programmé (voir page 13)
• Réglage du niveau de sortie à l’aide des touches LINE
OUT LEVEL +/- de la télécommande (voir ci-dessus)
Réglage du sélecteur de tension (à
l’exception des modèles pour l’Europe, le
Canada et l’Australie)
Assurez-vous que la position du sélecteur de tension
monté sur le panneau arrière du lecteur correspond à la
tension d’alimentation secteur locale. Si ce n’est pas le
cas, amenez ce sélecteur dans la position voulue en
vous aidant d’un tournevis avant de brancher le cordon
d’alimentation secteur sur une prise murale.
