Moisture condensation
On a rainy day or in a very damp area, moisture
condensation may occur inside the lenses and
display of the unit. 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 quality

Be 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 CDs.

from the centre 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.
Notes on Video CDs

A compact disc that contains moving pictures.
The picture data uses the MPEG 1 format (Video
CD), worldwide standards of digital compression
technology.
Video CDs also contain compact audio data.
Sounds outside the range of human hearing are
compressed while the sounds we can hear are not
compressed.
About MP3 files

MP3, 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.
The unit is compatible with the ISO 9660 level 1/
level 2 format, Joliet/Romeo in the expansion
format, and Multi Session.
The maximum number of:
folders (albums): 100 (including root and empty
folders).
MP3 files (tracks) and folders contained in a
disc: 999.
displayable characters for a folder/file name is
18.
ID3 tag applies only to versions 1.1 and 2.0.
Playback order of MP3 files

MP3
Folder
(album)
MP3 file
(track)
There are 2 versions of Video CDs.

Version 1.1:
You can play only moving pictures and sounds.
Version 2.0:
You can play hi-resolution still pictures and
enjoy PBC (Playback Control) functions.
This unit conforms to both versions.
Music discs encoded with copyright

protection technologies
This 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.
Note on DualDiscs
A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which
mates DVD recorded material on one side with
digital audio material on the other side. However,
since the audio material side does not conform to
the Compact Disc (CD) standard, playback on this
product is not guaranteed.
Notes
Be sure to finalize the disc before using on the unit.
When naming an MP3 file, be sure to add the file
extension .mp3 to the file name.
During playback of a VBR (variable bit rate) MP3 file
or fast-forward/reverse, elapsed playing time may
not display accurately.
When the disc is recorded in Multi Session, only the
first track of the first session format is recognized
and played (any other format is skipped). The
priority of the format is CD-DA and MP3.
When the first track is a CD-DA, only CD-DA of the
first session is played.
When the first track is not a CD-DA, MP3 session
is played. If the disc has no data in any of these
formats, NO MUSIC is displayed.
If you have any questions or problems concerning

your unit that are not covered in this manual, consult
your nearest Sony dealer.
