Precautions
• If your car was parked in direct sunlight, allow
the unit to cool off before operating it.
• Power antennas will extend automatically
while the unit is operating.
• Do not use the CUSTOM FILE feature while
driving, or perform any other function which
could divert your attention from the road.
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 LCD display
• Do not push the LCD display strongly. It may
cause injury or damage the display.
• Bright points of light (red, blue, or green) or
black dots may appear on the LCD display.
This is not a malfunction. The LCD is made
with high-precision technology and more than
99.99 % of the picture element is intact.
However, tiny elements of the picture may
show the above symptoms.
Notes on discs
• To keep discs clean, do not touch the surface.
Handle a disc by its edge.
• Keep your discs in their cases or disc
magazines when not in use.
Do not subject the discs to heat/high
temperature. Avoid leaving them in parked cars
or on dashboards/rear trays.
• 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.
