Playback order of MP3 files
Notes
• Be sure to finalize the disc before using on the unit.
• When naming an MP3 file, be sure to add the file
expansion “.mp3” to the file name.
• If you play a high-bit-rate MP3, such as 320 kbps,
sound may be intermittent.
• During playback of a VBR (variable bit rate) MP3 file
or fast-forward/reverse, elapsed playing time may
not display accurately.
• When the disc is recorded in Multi Session, only the
first track of the first session format is recognized
and played (any other format is skipped). The
priority of the format is CD-DA, ATRAC CD and
MP3.
– When the first track is a CD-DA, only CD-DA of the
first session is played.
– When the first track is not a CD-DA, an ATRAC CD
or MP3 session is played. If the disc has no data in
any of these formats, “NO MUSIC” is displayed.

Maintenance
Fuse replacement
When replacing the fuse, be
sure to use one matching the
amperage rating stated on the
original fuse. If the fuse
blows, check the power
connection and replace the
fuse. If the fuse blows again
after replacement, there may
be an internal malfunction. In
such a case, consult your
nearest Sony dealer.
Cleaning the connectors
The unit may not function properly if the
connectors between the unit and the front panel
are not clean. In order to prevent this, detach the
front panel (page 4) and clean the connectors
with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol. Do not
apply too much force. Otherwise, the connectors
may be damaged.
Notes
• For safety, turn off the ignition before cleaning the
connectors, and remove the key from the ignition
switch.
• Never touch the connectors directly with your fingers
or with any metal device.
