Should this occur, the unit will not operate properly. In such a case, remove the disc and wait for about an hour until the moisture has evaporated.To maintain high sound qualityBe careful not to splash juice or other soft drinks onto the unit or discs.Notes on discs• To keep a disc clean, do not touch its surface. Handle the disc by its edge.• Keep your discs in their cases or disc magazines when not in use.• Do not subject discs to heat/high temperature. Avoid leaving them in a parked car or on a dashboard/rear tray.• Do not attach labels, or use discs with sticky ink/residue. Such discs may stop spinning when used, causing a malfunction, or may ruin the disc.• Do not use any discs with labels or stickers attached.The following malfunctions may result from using such discs:– Inability to eject a disc (due to a label or sticker peeling off and jamming the eject mechanism).– Inability to read audio data correctly (e.g., playback skipping, or no playback) due to heat shrinking of a sticker or label causing a disc to warp.• 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.• You cannot play 8 cm (3 1/4 in) CDs.• Before playing, clean the discs with a commercially available cleaning cloth. Wipe each disc from the center out. Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or antistatic spray intended for analogue discs.Notes on CD-R/CD-RW discs• Some CD-Rs/CD-RWs (depending on the equipment used for its recording or the condition of the disc) may not play on this unit.• You cannot play a CD-R/a CD-RW that is not finalized.Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologiesThis product is designed to play back discs that conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard.Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies are marketed by some record companies. Please be aware that among those discs, there are some that do not conform to the CD standard and may not be playable by this product.About MP3/WMA filesMP3, which stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3, is a music file compression format standard. It compresses audio CD data to approximately 1/10 of its original size.WMA, which stands for Windows Media Audio, is another music file compression format standard.

It compresses audio CD data to approximately 1/10 of its original size. ATRAC3plus, which is an extended format of ATRAC3, compresses the audio CD data to approximately 1/20 of its original size. The unit accepts both ATRAC3 and ATRAC3plus format.ATRAC CDATRAC CD is recorded audio CD data which is compressed to ATRAC3 or ATRAC3plus format using authorized software, such as SonicStage 2.0 or later, or SonicStage Simple Burner.• The maximum number of:– folders (groups): 255– files (tracks): 999• The characters for a folder/file name and text information written by SonicStage are displayed.For details on ATRAC CD, see the SonicStage or SonicStage Simple Burner manual.NoteBe sure to create the ATRAC CD using authorized software, such as SonicStage 2.0 or later, or SonicStage Simple Burner 1.0 or 1.1.If you have any questions or problems concerning your unit that are not covered in this manual, consult your nearest Sony dealer.MaintenanceReplacing the lithium battery of the card remote commanderUnder normal conditions, the battery will last approximately 1 year. (The service life may be shorter, depending on the conditions of use.)When the battery becomes weak, the range of the card remote commander becomes shorter. Replace the battery with a new CR2025 lithium battery. Use of any other battery may present a risk of fire or explosion.Notes on the lithium battery•Keep the lithium battery out of the reach of children. Should the battery be swallowed, immediately consult a doctor.•Wipe the battery with a dry cloth to assure a good contact.•Be sure to observe the correct polarity when installing the battery.•Do not hold the battery with metallic tweezers, otherwise a short-circuit may occur.Folder (album)MP3/WMA file (track)MP3/WMAcontinue to next page tc+ side upWARNINGBattery may explode if mistreated.Do not recharge, disassemble, or dispose ofin fire.01US+00COV-U.book Page 21 Thursday, April 27, 2006 11:03 PM$
