Notes on CDs

• Before playing, clean the CD with a

cleaning cloth. Wipe the CD from the
center out.

• Do not use solvents such as benzine,

thinner, commercially available cleaners
or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.

• Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or

heat sources such as hot air ducts, nor
leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight
as there can be a considerable rise in
temperature inside the car.

• Do not stick paper or sticker on the CD,

nor scratch the surface of the CD.

• After playing, store the CD in its case.

If there is a scratch, dirt or fingerprints on
the CD, it may cause tracking error.

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.

If you have any questions or problems
concerning your player, please consult your
nearest Sony dealer.
