Precautions

• If your car has been parked in direct sunlight,

allow the unit to cool off before operating it.

• Power aerial will extend automatically while

the unit is operating.

If you have any questions or problems

concerning your unit that are not covered in this

manual, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

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 CDs.

7

• Before playing, clean the discs with a

commercially available cleaning cloth. Wipe

each disc from the centre out. Do not use

solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially

available cleaners, or antistatic spray intended

for analogue discs.

Notes on CD-R/CD-RW discs

• You can play CD-Rs (recordable CDs)/CD-

RWs (rewritable CDs) designed for audio use

on this unit.

Look for these marks to distinguish CD-Rs/

CD-RWs for audio use.

These marks denote that a disc is not for audio

use.

• 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*.

* A process necessary for a recorded CD-R/CD-RW

disc to be played on the audio CD player.

RDS

Overview of RDS

FM stations with Radio Data System (RDS)

service send inaudible digital information along

with the regular radio programme signal. For

example, one of the following will be displayed

upon receiving a station with RDS capability.

RDS services

RDS data offers you other conveniences, such as:

• Automatic retuning of a programme, helpful

during long-distance drives. — AF t page 15

• Receiving traffic announcements, even

when enjoying another programme/source.

— TA t page 16

• Selecting stations by the type of

programme. — PTY t page 17

• Automatic clock time setting.

— CT t page 18

Notes

• Depending on the country/region, not all of the RDS

functions are available.

• RDS will not work properly if the signal strength is

too weak or if the station you are tuned to is not

transmitting RDS data.

Automatic retuning for best

reception results

— AF (Alternative Frequencies)

The AF function allows the radio to always tune

into the area’s strongest signal for the station you

are listening to.

1 Select an FM station (page 13).

2 Press (AF/TA) repeatedly until “AF-

ON” appears.

The unit starts searching for an alternative

frequency with a stronger signal in the same

network.

If “NO AF” flashes, the currently tuned

station does not have an alternative frequency.

To cancel the AF function, select “AF, TA-OFF.”
