The battery is consumed gradually as time elapses even if
is not used. In order to prevent the battery from 
deteriorating, store it as follows:

• Remove the battery from the player after use.

(Even if the player is off, it still uses some power.)

• Use up the battery completely on the player before 

storing it.

• Keep the battery in a cool location to 

prevent it from deteriorating.

• Charge and use the battery at least once every 6 months.

• Heat may build up in the battery while charging. 

This is not a malfunction.

• When the battery life of a fully charged battery becomes

about half the normal life, you may need to replace the
battery with a new one.

• Disconnect the battery from the player as soon as it has

been charged. Leaving it connected may result in reduced
battery performance.

• Keep the lens on the player clean and do not touch it. If

you do so, the lens may be damaged, and the player will
not operate properly.

• Place the player in a location with adequate ventilation to

prevent heat build-up in the player.

• Do not put any heavy object on top of the player. The

player and the discs may be damaged.

• Do not leave the player in a location near heat sources, or

in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or
sand, moisture, rain, mechanical shock, on an unlevel
surface, or in a car with its windows closed.

• Do not wrap the player in a cloth or blanket during use as

it may cause malfunction or serious accidents.

• If the player causes interference to radio or television

reception, turn off the player or move it away from the
radio or television.

• Keep the player and discs away from equipment with

strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or large loud-
speakers.

• Do not install this equipment in a confined space such as

a bookshelf or similar unit.

• If the player is brought directly from a cold to warm loca-

tion, or is placed in a very damp place, moisture may con-
dense on the lenses of the player. Should this occur, the
player may not operate properly. In this case, remove the
disc and leave the player for about half an hour until the
moisture evaporates.

• Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g, heart, square, star)

cannot be played on this player. Do not use such discs.

• While operating, do not move, shake or otherwise allow

any shock to the player. It may cause a malfunction.

• Use this player in a stable, horizontal position where it is

not subject to vibration.

• Do not touch the disc if it is still spinning when you open

the lid.

• Before moving the player, remove any disc from it. 

If you don’t, the disc may be damaged.

It’s too

warm!

• The LCD is manufactured using high-precision technolo-

gy. You may, however, see tiny black points and/or bright
points (red, blue, green) that continuously appear on the
LCD. This is a normal result of the manufacturing process
and does not indicate a malfunction.

• Do not scratch the LCD or exert pressure on it. This could

cause a malfunction.

• Using the player in low temperature conditions may pro-

duce a residual image on the screen. This is not a mal-
function. When the player returns to normal temperature,
the screen returns to normal.

• A residual image may appear on the screen if the same

image is displayed for a lengthy period of time. The resid-
ual image disappears in a while.
If you are going to leave the player for a long time, turn
off the power.

• The screen becomes warm during operation. 

This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.

Preventing hearing damage 
Avoid using headphones at high volume. Hearing experts
advise against continuous, loud, and extended play. If you
experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or 
discontinue use.

Showing consideration for others
Keep the volume at a moderate level. This will allow you to
hear outside sounds and still be considerate to the people
around you.

Do not turn up the volume while listening to a section with
very low level inputs or no audio signal. If you do, the
speakers may be damaged when a peak-level section is
played.

Do not use the monitor unit and headphones while driving,
cycling, or operating any motorized vehicle. It may create a
traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas. It can also be
potentially dangerous to play your headsets at high volume
while walking, especially at pedestrian crossings. You
should exercise extreme caution or discontinue use in
potentially hazardous situations.

• Do not install the monitor display where viewable by the

driver.

• Some states restrict the use of monitors and televisions in

vehicles. Where use is permitted, the units should not be
installed or operated so as to be viewable by the driver.

• When you transport this player, use the original carton

box and packing materials.

• Before you move this player, make sure to remove any

discs from it.

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.

Do not use a commercially available cleaning disc. It may
cause a malfunction.

If you have any questions or problems concerning your
player, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
