¢ Adisplay window with back light enables you to see the

Precautions
On safety
« As the laser beam used in the CD player section is
harmful to the eyes, do not attempt to disassemble the
casing. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
* Should any solid object or liquid fall into the player, unplug
the player, and have it checked by qualified personnel
before operating it any further.
On power sources
¢ For AC operation, use the supplied AC power cord; do not
use any other type.
¢ For battery operation, use ten size D (R20) batteries.
« Unplug the player from the wall outlet when it is not to be
used for an extended period of time.
« When the operational batteries are not to be used,
remove them to avoid damage that can be caused by
battery leakage or corrosion.
¢ The nameplate indicating operating voltage, power
consumption, etc. is located on the bottom.
On placement
* Do not leave the player in a location near heat sources, or
in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or
mechanical shock.
* Do not place anything within 10 mm of the side of the
cabinet. The ventilation holes must be unobstructed for
the player to operate properly and to prolong the life of its
components.
» {f the player is left in a car parked in the sun, be sure to
choose a location in the car where the player will not be
subjected to the direct rays of the sun.
* Since a strong magnet is used for the speakers, keep
personal credit cards using magnetic cading or spring-
wound watches away from the player to prevent possible
damage from the magnet.
As?
On operation
¢ 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 lens inside the CD player section.
Should this occur, the player will not operate properly. In
this case, remove the CD and wait about an hour for the
moisture to evaporate.
¢ If the player has not been used for a long time, set it in the
playback mode to warm it up for a few minutes before
inserting a CD or cassette.
Note on using a cassette with more than 90 minutes
of play time
The use of a cassette with more than 90 minutes of play
time is not recommended except for long, continuous
recording or playback.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your
player, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
