Precautions
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.
e 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.
¢ As the laser beam used in this compact disc player is
harmful to the eyes, do not attempt to disassemble the
cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
On installation
e 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 unit. Should this occur, the player will
not operate. In this case, remove the disc and leave the
player turned on for about an hour until the moisture
evaporates.
If you have any question or problem conceming your unit,
please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
For detailed precautions, see the leaflet "IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARD". (Model for USA)
Note on the Transit Key
The transit key on the bottom exterior of the CDP-C231
protects the optical system against shock during
transportation. Before operating the CD player, be sure to
remove the key by following the instructions on the label,
and store it in a safe place.
When transporting the unit, replace the key in its original
hole and lock it in place.

Note on peak search
The unit determines the loudest portion (peak level) of a disc by
searching it at fixed intervals. As a result, the portion searched
may differ from the actual peak level. In addition, this function
may determine different portions as the peak level for the same
disc. However, the difference between the portion searched and
the actual peak level is insignificant and will not present any
problem in adjusting the recording level.
The HST-231 adjusts the recording level automatically, so it is not
necessary to use this function.
