What is Bluetooth wireless
technology?
Bluetooth wireless technology is a short-range
wireless technology that enables wireless data
communication between digital devices, such as
a computer and digital camera. Bluetooth
wireless technology operates within a range of
about 10 m.
Connecting two devices as necessary is common,
but some devices can be connected to multiple
devices at the same time.
You do not need to use a cable for connection,
nor is it necessary for the devices to face one
another, such is the case with infrared
technology. For example, you can use such a
device in a bag or pocket.
Bluetooth standard is an international standard
supported by thousands of companies all over
the world, and employed by various companies
worldwide.
Communication system and compatible
Bluetooth profiles of the unit
Profile is standardization of the function for each
Bluetooth device specification. The unit supports
the following Bluetooth version and profiles:
Communication System:
Bluetooth Specification version 3.0
Compatible Bluetooth Profiles:
A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile):
Transmitting or receiving audio content of
high-quality.
AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profile):
Controlling A/V equipment; pausing,
stopping, or starting playback, etc.
Maximum communication range
Use Bluetooth devices within 10 m (line of sight)
of the unit.
Maximum communication range may shorten
under the following conditions.
There is an obstacle such as a person, metal, or
wall between the unit and Bluetooth device.
A wireless LAN device is in use near the unit.
A microwave oven is in use near the unit.
A device that generates electromagnetic
radiation is in use near the unit.
The unit is placed on a shelf made of steel.

Interference from other devices
Because Bluetooth devices and wireless LAN
(IEEE802.11b/g/n) use the same frequency,
microwave interference may occur and resulting
in communication speed deterioration, noise, or
invalid connection if the unit is used near a
wireless LAN device. In such a case, perform the
following.
Use the unit at least 10 m away from the
wireless LAN device.
If the unit is used within 10 m of a wireless LAN
device, turn off the wireless LAN device.
Use the Bluetooth device as close to the unit as
possible.

Notes on discs
Before playing, clean the CD with
a cleaning cloth. Wipe the CD
from the center out. If there are
scratches, dirt or fingerprints on
the CD, a tracking error may occur.
Do not use solvents such as
benzine, thinner, commercially
available cleaners or anti-static
spray intended for vinyl LPs.
Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat
sources such as hot air ducts, or leave it in a
car parked in direct sunlight as there can be a
considerable rise in temperature inside the car.
Do not stick paper or a sticker on the CD, or
scratch the surface of the CD.
After playing, store the CD in its case.
Note on DualDiscs
A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which
mates DVD recorded material on one side with
digital audio material on the other side.
However, since the audio material side does
not conform to the Compact Disc (CD)
standard, playback on this product is not
guaranteed.
Music discs encoded with copyright
protection technologies
This product is designed to playback discs that
conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard.
Recently, various music discs encoded with
copyright protection technologies 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.
On safety
As the laser beam used in the CD player
section is harmful to eyes, do not attempt to
disassemble the casing. Refer servicing to
qualified personnel only.
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the
unit, unplug the unit, and have it checked by
qualified personnel before operating it any
further.
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.
On power sources
For AC operation, use the supplied AC power
cord; do not use any other cord.
Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not
to be used for an extended period of time.
When not using the batteries, remove them to
avoid damage that can be caused by battery
leakage or corrosion.
On placement
Do not leave the unit in a location near heat
sources, in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust or mechanical shock, or in a car
subject to the direct rays of the sun.
Do not place the unit on an inclined or
unstable surface.
Do not place anything within 10 mm of the rear
of the cabinet. The ventilation openings must
be unobstructed for the unit to operate
properly and prolong the life of its
components.
Since a strong magnet is used for the speakers,
keep personal credit cards using magnetic
coding or spring-wound watches away from
the unit to prevent possible damage from the
magnet.
On operation
If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a
warm location, or is placed in a very damp
room, moisture may condense on the lens
inside the CD player section. Should this occur,
the unit will not operate properly. In this case,
remove the CD and wait about an hour for the
moisture to evaporate.
On handling the unit
Do not leave the CD compartment open to
avoid dust and debris contamination.
On cleaning the cabinet
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls using 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.
If you have any questions or problems
concerning your unit, consult your nearest Sony
dealer.
