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.

Music discs encoded with copyright

protection

This product is designed to play back discs that

conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard.

Recently, various music discs encoded with

copyright protection are marketed by 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.

Notes on CD-Rs (recordable CDs)/CD-

RWs (rewritable CDs)

This unit can play the following 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/CD-RW that is not

finalized*.

• You can play MP3 files recorded on CD-

ROMs, CD-Rs, and CD-RWs.

• A CD-R/CD-RW to which a session can be

added can be played.

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

disc to be played on the audio CD player.

About MP3 files

MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3) is a standard

technology and format for compressing a sound

sequence. The file is compressed to about 1/10 of

its original size. Sounds outside the range of

human hearing are compressed while the sounds

we can hear are not compressed.

Notes on discs

You can play MP3 files recorded on CD-ROMs,

CD-Rs, and CD-RWs.

The disc must be in the ISO 9660*

1

level 1 or

level 2 format, or Joliet or Romeo in the

expansion format.

You can use a disc recorded in Multi Session*

2

.

*1 ISO 9660 Format

The most common international standard for

the logical format of files and folders on a

CD-ROM.

There are several specification levels. In

Level 1, file names must be in the 8.3 format

(no more than 8 characters in the name, no

more than 3 characters in the extension

“.MP3”) and in capital letters. Folder names

can be no longer than 8 characters. There can

be no more than 8 nested folder levels. Level

2 specifications allow file names up to 31

characters long.

Each folder can have up to 8 trees.

For Joliet or Romeo in the expansion format,

make sure of the contents of the writing

software, etc.

*2 Multi Session

This is a recording method that enables

adding of data using the Track-At-Once

method. Conventional CDs begin at a CD

control area called the Lead-in and end at an

area called Lead-out. A Multi Session CD is a

CD having multiple sessions, with each

segment from Lead-in to Lead-out regarded

as a single session.

CD-Extra: The format which records audio

(audio CD data) as tracks on session 1, and

records data as tracks on session 2.

Mixed CD: In this format, data is recorded as

track 1, and audio (audio CD data) is recorded

as track 2.

Notes

• With formats other than ISO 9660 level 1 and level 2,

folder names or file names may not be displayed

correctly.

• When naming, be sure to add the file extension

“.MP3” to the file name.

• If you put the extension “.MP3” to a file other than

MP3, the unit cannot recognize the file properly and

will generate random noise that could damage your

speakers.

• The following discs take a longer time to start

playback.

– a disc recorded with complicated tree structure.

– a disc recorded in Multi Session.

– a disc to which data can be added.

Cautions when playing a disc that is recorded in

Multi Session

• When the first track of the first session is audio CD

data:

Only audio CD data of the first track is played back.

Any data in subsequent session is skipped.

• When the first track of the first session is not audio

CD data:

– If an MP3 file is in the disc, only MP3 file(s) is

played back and other data is skipped. (Audio CD

data is not recognized.)

– If no MP3 file is in the disc, “NO MUSIC” is

displayed and nothing is played back. (Audio CD

data is not recognized.)

The playback order of the MP3 files

The playback order of the folders and files is as

follows:

Notes

• A folder that does not include an MP3 file is skipped.

• When you insert a disc with many trees, it takes a

longer time to start playback. We recommend that

you make only 1 or 2 trees for each disc.

• Maximum folder number: 150 (including root folder

and empty folders)

• The maximum number of MP3 files and folders that

can be contained in a disc: 300

When a file/folder name contains many characters,

this number may become less than 300.

Tip

To specify a desired playback order, before the folder

or file name, input the order by number (e.g., “01,”

“02”), then record contents onto a disc. (The order

differs depending on the writing software.)

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.

* Only when CLOCK mode is set to “ON.”

RDS services

RDS data offers you other conveniences, such as:

• Automatic retuning of a programme, helpful

during long-distance drives. — AF t page 17

• Receiving traffic announcements, even

when enjoying another programme/source.

— TA t page 18

• Selecting stations by the type of

programme. — PTY t page 19

• Automatic clock time setting.

— CT t page 20

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 15).

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.”

Tips

• If “AF-ON” is selected, traffic announcements are

cancelled. To activate the traffic announcements

with the AF function, select “AF, TA-ON.”

• If you want to change the on/off setting while playing

a CD, press (AF/TA).

Press (S EEK) (+) or ( SEEK) (–) while

the station name is flashing (within 8

seconds).

The unit starts searching for another

frequency with the same PI (Programme

Identification) data (“PI SEEK” appears).

If the unit cannot find the same PI, the unit

returns to the previously selected frequency.

Staying with one regional programme

When the AF function is on: this unit’s factory

setting restricts reception to a specific region, so

you will not be switched to another regional

station with a stronger frequency.

If you leave this regional programme’s reception

area or would like to take advantage of the whole

AF function, select “REG-OFF” from the menu

(page 24).

Note

This function does not work in the United Kingdom

and in some other areas.

button of the local station again.

3 Repeat this procedure until the

desired local station is received.

Receiving traffic

announcements

— TA (Traffic Announcement)/TP (Traffic

Programme)

By activating TA and TP, you can automatically

tune in an FM station broadcasting traffic

announcements. These settings function

regardless of the current FM programme/source,

CD/MD; the unit switches back to the original

source when the bulletin is over.

Press (AF/TA) repeatedly until “TA-

ON” appears.

The unit starts searching for traffic

information stations.

“TP” indicates reception of such stations, and

“TA” flashes during an actual traffic

announcement. The unit will continue

searching for stations available with TP if

“NO TP” is indicated.

To cancel all traffic announcements, select “AF,

TA-OFF.”

Tips

• If “TA-ON” is selected, the AF function is cancelled.

To activate the AF function with traffic

announcements, select “AF, TA-ON.”

Presetting RDS stations with

the AF and TA setting

When you preset RDS stations, the unit stores

each station’s AF/TA setting (on/off) as well as

its frequency. You can select a different setting

(for AF, TA, or both) for individual preset

stations, or the same setting for all preset

stations. If you preset stations with “AF, TA-ON”
