To avoid electrical shock, do

This appliance is classified as a

The following caution label is
located inside the unit.
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.
¥ Be careful not to close the disc lid on
your finger.
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 unit is not disconnected from the
AC power source (mains) as long as it
is connected to the wall outlet, even if
the unit 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.
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 preserving 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.
¥ The bottom of the stabilizer is
delicate, and flaws may effect the
sound quality.
When replacing discs, place the
stabilizer on the supplied felt or a soft
cloth.
On operation
¥ Use your hand to open or close the
disc lid.
¥ Do not touch the rotating parts (a
disc, etc.) during 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 portions 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 placing 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.
¥ When the inside of the disc lid is
dirty, remove the disc lid using a
hexagonal spanner (the subtense, 2.5
mm).
Note
Never open any part of the CD player
other than a disc lid.
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.
