The use of optical instruments with 
this product will increase eye 
hazard. As the laser beam used in 
this CD/DVD player is harmful to 
eyes, do not attempt to disassemble 
the cabinet.
Refer servicing to qualified 
personnel only.

This symbol is 
intended to alert the 
user to the presence 
of uninsulated 
“dangerous voltage” 

within the product’s enclosure that 
may be of sufficient magnitude to 
constitute a risk of electric shock to 
persons.

This symbol is 
intended to alert the 
user to the presence 
of important 
operating and 

maintenance (servicing) 
instructions in the literature 
accompanying the appliance.

You are cautioned that any 
changes or modifications not 
expressly approved in this manual 
could void your authority to 
operate this equipment.

This equipment has been tested 
and found to comply with the 
limits for a Class B digital device, 
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC 
Rules. These limits are designed to 
provide reasonable protection 
against harmful interference in a 
residential installation. This 
equipment generates, uses, and can 
radiate radio frequency energy 
and, if not installed and used in 
accordance with the instructions, 
may cause harmful interference to 
radio communications. However, 
there is no guarantee that 
interference will not occur in a 
particular installation. If this 
equipment does cause harmful 
interference to radio or television 
reception, which can be 
determined by turning the 
equipment off and on, the user is 
encouraged to try to correct the 
interference by one or more of the 
following measures:
– Reorient or relocate the 

receiving antenna.

– Increase the separation 

between the equipment and 
receiver.

– Connect the equipment into an 

outlet on a circuit different 
from that to which the receiver 
is connected.

– Consult the dealer or an 

experienced radio/TV 
technician for help.

• To keep the disc clean, handle 

the disc by its edge. Do not touch 
the surface.

• Do not expose the disc to direct 

sunlight or heat sources such as 
hot air ducts, or leave it in a car 
parked in direct sunlight as the 
temperature may rise 
considerably inside the car.

• After playing, store the disc in its 

case.

• Clean the disc with a cleaning 

cloth.
Wipe the disc from the center 
out.

• Do not use solvents such as 

benzine, thinner, commercially 
available disc/lens cleaners, or 
anti-static spray intended for 
vinyl LPs.

• If you have printed the disc’s 

label, dry the label before 
playing.

• Never place the set in a 

confined space, such as a 
bookcase, or built-in 
cabinet, unless proper 
ventilation is provided.

• Do not place the set near or 

over a radiator or heat 
register, or where it is 
exposed to direct sunlight.

If an outdoor antenna or cable system is installed, 
follow the precautions below.

An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the 
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light 
or power circuits, or where it can come in contact with 
such power lines or circuits.
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA 
SYSTEM, EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN 
TO KEEP FROM CONTACTING SUCH POWER 
LINES OR CIRCUITS AS CONTACT WITH THEM 
IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.
Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide 
some protection against voltage surges and built-up static 
charges.  Section 810 of the National Electrical Code 
provides information with respect to proper grounding of 
the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in 
wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding 
conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection 
to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the 
grounding electrode.

For added protection for this set during a lightning 
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long 
periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and 
disconnect the antenna or cable system.  This will 
prevent damage to the set due to lightning and power-
line surges.

Unplug the set from the wall outlet and refer servicing 
to qualified service personnel under the following 
conditions:

• When the power cord or plug is 

damaged or frayed.

• If liquid has been spilled or 

objects have fallen into the 
set.

• If the set has been exposed 

to rain or water.

• If the set has been 

subject to excessive 
shock by being 
dropped, or the cabinet 
has been damaged.

• If the set does not operate 

normally when following 
the operating instructions.
Adjust only those controls 
that are specified in the 
operating instructions.  Improper adjustment 
of other controls may result in damage and 
will often require extensive work by a 
qualified technician to restore the set to normal 
operation.

• When the set exhibits a distinct change in 

performance - this indicates a need for service.

Do not attempt to service the set 
yourself as opening or removing 
covers may expose you to 
dangerous voltage or other 
hazards.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

When replacement parts are required, be sure the 
service technician has used replacement parts specified 
by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics 
as the original parts.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric 
shock, or other hazards.

Upon completion of any service or 
repairs to the set, ask the service 
technician to perform routine 
safety checks (as specified by the 
manufacturer) to determine that 
the set is in safe operating 
condition.

The power requirements and power 
consumption of this player are indicated on 
the back of the player. Check that the player’s 
operating voltage is identical with your local 
power supply.

• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not 

place objects filled with liquids, such as 
vases, on the apparatus.

• 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.

• The player is not disconnected from the AC 

power source as long as it is connected to 
the wall outlet, even if the player 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, grasp the plug itself; never pull 
the cord.

• 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.

• Do not place the player in a location near 

heat sources, or in a place subject to direct 
sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical 
shock.

• Do not install the player in an inclined 

position. It is designed to be operated in a 
horizontal position only.

• Keep the player and the discs away from 

equipment with strong magnets, such as 
microwave ovens, or large loudspeakers.

• Do not place heavy objects on the player.

• 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 half an hour until the 
moisture evaporates.

• When you move the player, take out any 

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

If the AC plug of your unit does not fit into 
the wall outlet, attach the supplied AC plug 
adaptor.

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

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.

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

recommended by the manufacturer, as 
they may cause hazards.

Unplug the set from the wall outlet 
before cleaning or polishing it.  Do 
not use liquid cleaners or aerosol 
cleaners.  Use a cloth lightly 
dampened with water for cleaning 
the exterior of the set.

Do not use power-line operated sets 
near water - for example, near a 
bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or 
laundry tub, in a wet basement, or 
near a swimming pool, etc.

Route the power cord so that it is 
not likely to be walked on or 
pinched by items placed upon or 
against them, paying particular 
attention to the plugs, receptacles, and the point where 
the cord exits from the appliance.

Do not place the set on an 
unstable cart, stand, tripod, 
bracket, or table.  The set may 
fall, causing serious injury to a 
child or an adult, and serious damage to the set.  Use 
only a cart stand tripod, bracket, or table recommended 
by the manufacturer.

An appliance and cart combination 
should be moved with care.  Quick 
stops, excessive force, and uneven 
surfaces may cause the appliance 
and cart combination to overturn.

The slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for 
necessary ventilation.  To ensure reliable operation of 
the set, and to protect it from overheating, these slots 
and openings must never be blocked or covered.

• Never cover the slots and 

openings with a cloth or 
other materials.

• Never block the slots and 

openings by placing the set 
on a bed, sofa, rug or other 
similar surface.
