harmful to the eyes, do not attempt to disassemble the
casing. Refer servicing to qualied personnel only.
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the unit,
unplug the unit, and have it checked by qualied
personnel before operating it any further.
Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square,
star) cannot be played on this unit. Attempting to do so
may damage the unit. Do not use such discs.
On power sources
For AC operation, use the supplied AC power cord; do
not use any other type.
e unit is not disconnected from the AC power source
(mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet,
even if the unit itself has been turned o.
Unplug the unit from the wall outlet when it is not used
for an extended period of time.
When the batteries are not to be used, remove them to
avoid damage that can be caused by battery leakage or
corrosion.

Bluetooth wireless technology
Bluetooth wireless technology is a short-range wireless
technology linking digital devices, such as personal
computers and digital still cameras. Using the Bluetooth
wireless technology, you can operate the units involved
within a range of about 10 meters.
e Bluetooth wireless technology is commonly
used between two devices, but a single device can be
connected to multiple devices.*
You do not need wires to get connected as you do with
a USB connection, and you do not need to place the
devices face to face as you do with wireless infrared
technology. You can use the technology with one
Bluetooth device in your bag or pocket.
Bluetooth wireless technology is a global standard
supported by thousands of companies. ese companies
produce products that meet the global standard.
* is unit cannot be connected to multiple devices.
Supported Bluetooth version and proles
Prole refers to a standard set of capabilities for various
Bluetooth product capabilities. is unit supports the
following Bluetooth version and proles.
Supported Bluetooth version:
Bluetooth Standard version 2.0
Supported Bluetooth proles:
A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Prole)
AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Prole)
Eective communication range
Bluetooth devices should be used within approximately
10 meters (unobstructed distance) of each other. e
eective communication range may become shorter
under the following conditions.
When a person, metal object, wall or other
obstruction is between the devices with a Bluetooth
connection
Locations where a wireless LAN is installed
Around microwave ovens that are in use
Locations where other electromagnetic waves occur
Eects of other devices
Bluetooth devices and wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11b/g)
use the same frequency band (2.4 GHz). When using
your Bluetooth device near a device with wireless LAN
capability, electromagnetic interference may occur.
is could result in lower data transfer rates, noise, or
inability to connect. If this happens, try the following
remedies:
Try connecting this unit and Bluetooth mobile phone
or Bluetooth device when you are at least 10 meters
away from the wireless LAN equipment.
Turn o the power to the wireless LAN equipment
when using your Bluetooth device within 10 meters.
e radio waves broadcast by this unit may interfere
with the operation of some medical devices. Since this
interference may result in malfunction, always turn o
the power on this unit, Bluetooth mobile phone and
Bluetooth device in the following locations:
In hospitals, on trains, in airplanes, at gas stations,
and any place where ammable gasses may be
present
Near automatic doors or re alarms
Notes
is unit supports security functions that comply with the Bluetooth
specication as a means of ensuring security during communication
using Bluetooth technology. However, this security may be
insucient depending on the setting contents and other factors, so
always be careful when performing communication using Bluetooth
technology.
Sony cannot be held liable in any way for damages or other loss
resulting from information leaks during communication using
Bluetooth technology.
Bluetooth communication is not necessarily guaranteed with all
Bluetooth devices that have the same prole as this unit.
Bluetooth devices connected with this unit must comply with the
Bluetooth specication prescribed by the Bluetooth SIG, Inc., and
must be certied to comply. However, even when a device complies
with the Bluetooth specication, there may be cases where the
characteristics or specications of the Bluetooth device make it
impossible to connect, or may result in dierent control methods,
display or operation.
Noise may occur or the audio may cut o depending on the
Bluetooth device connected with this unit, the communications
environment, or surrounding conditions.
