INFORMATION
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.
CAUTION
You are cautioned that any changes or modifications not
expressly approved in this manual could void your authority
to operate this equipment.
CAUTION
The use of optical instruments with this product will

This unit is a compact disc deck receiver which consists of an
amplifier, tuner, stereo cassette deck and 5-compact disc
player.
Before operating this unit, please check the following.
On safety
• Operate the unit only on 120 V AC, 60 Hz.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the unit, unplug
it and have it checked by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be used
for an extended period of time. To disconnect the cord,
pull it out by grasping the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
Caution
The use of optical instruments with this product will
increase eye hazard.
On installation
• Place the unit on a level surface.
• Do not install the unit in a location near heat sources such
as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.
• Good air circulation is essential to prevent internal heat
buildup in the unit. Place the unit in a location with
adequate air circulation. Do not place the unit on a soft
surface, such as a rug that would block the ventilation
holes on the bottom.
• Do not place anything on top of the cabinet. The top
ventilation holes must be unobstructed for the proper
operation of the unit and to prolong the life of its
components.
On cleaning the cabinet
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth lightly
moistened with mild detergent solution. Do not use any type
of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol
or benzine.
On repacking
Do not throw away the carton and the packing material. It
makes an ideal container to transport the unit in.
On moisture condensation
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 section. Should this occur, the CD
section will not operate. In this case, remove the disc and
leave the unit turned on for about an hour until the moisture
evaporates.
If you have any question or problem concerning your unit,
please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
For detailed precautions, see the leaflet "IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS".
Note on the Transit Key
The transit key on the bottom exterior of the HCD-461
protects the optical system against shock during
transportation. Before operating the unit, be sure to remove
the key by following the instruction on the label, and store it
in a safe place.
When transporting the unit, re-install the key by following
the instruction below.
1Remove all discs from the CD section.
2Press §to close the disc tray and wait for " (or , ...)"
to disappear in the display.
3Turn the power off.
4Insert the key into its original hole and lock it in place.

exhausted, the remote can no longer operate the unit. If this
happens, replace both batteries with new ones.
To avoid battery leakage
If the remote is not going to be used for a long time, remove
the batteries to avoid damage caused by battery leakage and
corrosion.
Inserting batteries into the remote
1Open the cover. 2Insert two size-AA (R6)
batteries with correct

WIDE mode
Select this mode if you use a medium to big center speaker.
PHANTOM mode
Select this mode when you playback a Dolby surround
program source without using a center speaker. The sound
of the center channel is output from the front (L and R)
speakers.
3CH. (Channel) LOGIC mode
Select this mode when you playback a Dolby surround
program source only with the front and center speakers. The
sound of the rear channel is output from the front (L and R)
speakers.
Even for video software which does not carry the
qmark
Some commercially available software may have Dolby
surround processed sound tracks even though it is not
indicated on the package.
Getting Ready for Dolby Surround Sound
This section describes selecting a speaker configuration,
adjusting the speaker volume, and setting the delay time of
the rear speakers so you can enjoy Dolby surround sound.
Placement of Speakers and Selecting the PRO
LOGIC MODE
The Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder naturally
reproduces the audio sound field and creates a theater-like
experience in your listening room.
The HCD-461 incorporates a decoder which reproduces
specially encoded surround sound from Dolby surround
video programs.
To use Dolby surround effectively, select the speaker
operation mode according to your speaker configuration by
pressing DOLBY PRO LOGIC MODE: NORMAL, WIDE,
PHANTOM or 3CH.
With this unit, we recommended using the NORMAL mode.
NORMAL mode
Select this mode if you use a small center speaker. The bass
sound of the center channel is output from the front
speakers, since a small speaker cannot produce enough bass.
